Major Residential Projects Signal Urban Development Shift

Urban development trends now highlight major residential projects in regions such as Oshtemo Township, Michigan, Dubailand, and Tempe, with notable examples including the 444-unit 'West Main Village' in Oshtemo and luxury residences in Dubai's Aark Terraces. Holland, Michigan, is seeing new affordable mixed-income townhomes built by Habitat for Humanity and Jubilee Ministries to help address housing costs. These projects, alongside others globally, focus on integrating green roofs, rooftop gardens, and accessible outdoor spaces to boost sustainability and community well-being. The shift reflects a global emphasis on modernizing urban environments with nature, diverse housing, and improved livability. Notably, previous coverage of Lancaster's student flats conversion and related UK and Indian urban policy initiatives has been omitted in this update.
