What’s on the Three Kinds of Community poster
A 3-row table: Type · What it looks like · Getting around.
Communities are usually sorted by how many people live in a given space.
- Urban — city — tall buildings, crowded — bus, tram, train, walking
- Suburban — houses with gardens, near a city — mostly cars, some buses
- Rural — countryside, farms, few people — cars — long distances
None is better. Each trades space against how close everything is.
