~URBAN VILLAGE MODEL~

The "Urban Village Model" is an integrated system for developing, building and maintaining the physical environment of small self managed communities in urban settings.  In Haiti, the "Urban Village" is a cohesive physical and social whole--a mini-neighborhood--primarily residential, centered around a shared open space --- "Lakou" in Kreyol.  

The Urban Village Model is not a Disney-like "model village."  Rather, it is a systematic method to identify, configure and build housing that creates vibrant communities.  Key elements include: integrated planning, design, engineering and construction, on site prototyping with residents, independent infrastructure, and adoption of dynamic social and market channels for scaling and adaptation
