A company representative told Business Insider that the 17-acre block houses 200 people, but the company is aiming for 1,000 residents.
So, when they get 1000 people living there, the average resident will have 740 sq ft of living space to each of themselves.
Good luck guys.

It's amazing what shade can do in the desert, huh?

How’d she get there?

Blacktop gets very hot. I can see how limiting that might reduce heat
Yeah my street is asphalt and I could cook a steak on it in August and I'm in East Tennessee.
Lots of other cool things these types of developments do (and they're not all that novel anymore). Such as white buildings, strategically putting buildings to create shade in the community areas during hottest parts of the day, different (sometimes expensive) building and sidewalk materials, certain native vegetation, designing wind tunnels through public areas with the buildings (Like Chicago, but on purpose), etc.
Stuff is fascinating to me. If I ever build a new home I'm going to nerd out on shite like the position of the sun throughout the year, materials, preventing wind blocks, running water, etc.

I'm assuming the residents have vehicles, but it is designed so the vehicles stay on the perimeter and aren't in the town center.

I google mapped this place
Its an apartment complex
Its not car free, there is a parking garage. So you have a long walk to your apartment.
What a garbage article

I live in a walkable neighborhood and it barely rains here when all of y’all are posting storm threads

Of course. Im just throwing back the insanity of the headline. And of course the insanity of climate crazies

In her Subaru parked down the street

If it is so hot then why is she wearing a long sleeved shirt?

If there are no paved roads or parking lots, it’ll be cooler, but I don’t know about 15 degrees.

ETA: After reading other excerpts from the article that the OP didn't include b/c he's dumb, this isn't about MMGW and I apologize to the girl. She was being sincere. And TIL that there are actual ways to minimize heat in city planning.

I guess it makes sense if you design everything around being a heat sink. Asphalt and concrete is definitely the opposite of that

Just a story to help condition us for the 15 minute cities our global rulers want us all to live in, except them, of course.
Weird, no images of the electrified walls that will keep us in.

Looked this place up.
635 sq ft studio is $1,550 a month.

If you google it, it’s basically a big cluster of 4-5 level buildings close together. The buildings cause a bunch of shade.
Looks like a nightmare for emergency response departments.

I think it's fascinating.
Equally fascinating would be doing the opposite in a very cold part of the world, but I don't know how effective that would be
