The concept of urban villages emphasizes medium-density housing, mixed-use zoning, and pedestrian-friendly spaces, aiming to counteract urban sprawl and decentralization. By reducing reliance on cars and promoting cycling, walking, and public transit, these developments encourage self-containment where residents can live, work, and play in close proximity. Originating in Britain in the late 1980s, urban villages gained traction through the Urban Villages Group, influencing national planning policies in the late 1990s and extending into suburban areas designated as villages.
