1. A Just community, where justice, food, shelter, education, employment, health and hope are fairly distributed and where all people participate in government;
2. A Beautiful community, where art, architecture and landscape spark the imagination and move the Spirit;
3. A Creative community, where open-mindedness and experimentation mobilize the full potential of its human resources and allows a fast response to change;
4. An Ecological community, which minimizes its ecological impact, where landscape and built form are balanced and where buildings and infrastructures are safe and eco-efficient;
5. A community of Easy Contact and Mobility, where information is exchanged both face-to-face and electronically;
6. A Compact and Polycentric community, which protects the countryside, focuses and integrates communities within neighborhoods and maximizes proximity; and,
7. A Diverse community, where a broad range of overlapping cultures and activities creates animation, inspiration and fosters a vital public life.
From Cities for a Small Planet by Lord Richard Rogers
