TND Traditional Neighbourhood Design

The acronym TND stands for Traditional Neighbourhood Development, a comprehensive community design that includes a variety of housing types and land uses in a defined area. The variety of uses permits schools, civic buildings and retail (even light industrial) to be located within walking distance of private homes. A TND is served by walkable streets and lanes suitable for pedestrians as well as cars.

A good example in St. Catharines is "The Village on the Twelve". This development is showing award winning leadership in urban design in Niagara.
