How the King’s vision is shaping next wave of new towns

King Charles's urban planning ideals are influencing the upcoming wave of new towns in England, set to be announced by the government soon. These new towns will prioritize walkability, environmental friendliness, and "gentle density" building models such as terraced housing and mansion blocks. The King's emphasis on traditional building styles and harmony with nature has shaped schemes like Poundbury and Nansledan, focusing on community support and sustainability. The government aims to create 1.5 million new homes with these new towns, addressing past issues like car-centric design and lack of social amenities.
