	The Prince of Wales - About the Prince (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		Poundbury, on the western edge of Dorchester in Dorset, is the latest project to challenge the current conventions of planning and development along lines championed by The Prince of Wales.
		Poundbury is the first new development in Britain where, with the help of architects, developers, and the co-operation of the local authority, the thoughtful principles of urban design in A Vision of Britain are being put into practice.
		Poundbury demonstrates that it is possible to build high-quality, traditional housing at affordable prices, and provide new factories and offices on competitive terms within the context of radically different urban design.

	SocietyGuardian.co.uk \| Society \| Prince Charles's model village
		Poundbury is Prince Charles's model extension of Dorchester, the county town of Dorset, and housing is a red hot topic on the political agenda.
		Poundbury is pretty in a Quality Street way; quaint cottages for forelock-tugging folk, giving thanks and praise to HRH's munificence, jostle politely along flower-filled streets, mews, lanes, squares and courtyards.
		Poundbury is, perhaps, best described as a model urban extension for a Dorset county town.

	Wired New York Forum - Poundbury
		People are beginning to worry about this and many other consequences of suburban development and the zoning that underpins it--consequences as diverse as global warming, obesity, loss of community, ugliness and boredom, loss of farmland, wilderness and urbanity--all more or less referred to as sprawl (not “urban sprawl”, please; that is an oxymoron.).
		Poundbury is the western extension of the ancient town of Dorchester.
		I actually shouldn't comment on Poundbury for as an Australian I have (for some unknown bizarre reason) a hatred for the British built environment.

	Prince Charles, Poundbury
		Poundbury, the mixed-use community the prince is developing in Dorset, has attained financial and popular success.
		The goal at Poundbury was a place where people of varying ages and incomes could live, work, and fulfill their daily needs — a place that would have factories, stores, medical facilities, public spaces, and a variety of housing, all within walking distance.
		The deputy prime minister, who comes across as the embodiment of working-class England, praised the prince’s accomplishments at Poundbury, though he said it may be impossible to use Poundbury’s building methods everywhere, given the scarcity of traditional craftspeople.

		The result of which is Poundbury, a village on part of the Prince's Duchy of Cornwall estate in Dorset.
		The buildings themselves are constructed according to the Poundbury Building Code, which insists on local stone as the preferred material and a respect for the English vernacular style.
		Just as Denys Lasdun and Peter and Alison Smithson fretted over the effect their buildings were having on the social fabric, and worried how to rectify this, so Prince Charles and his allies have grappled with a similar problem at Poundbury.

	Interview on New Urbanism
		The most successful and well publicized New Urbanist projects are of course the neo-traditional ones like Seaside, Celebration and Poundbury, but there are plenty of similar schemes done using modernist architecture in Holland, Denmark and Germany, which follow the urban principles but are architectural no-man's land -- and consequently remain unknown.
		I personally resist for the moment mixing traditional and modernist architecture because from experience one modernist building is enough to destroy the spirit even of a largely traditional scheme.
		Modernists seem to be so disorganized in their ideas that they are quite unable to realize anything so coherent and complex as Windsor or Poundbury; the situation is so critical that Andres Duany and I have discussed for a while designing a modernist town simply to show them how it is done.

		He is designer, for the Prince of Wales, of the new town of Poundbury, which is attractive, if feudal in pattern- the Prince retains the landscape; the commoners are confined to the least amount of space, as is the feudal tradition.
		Poundbury is further interesting since it is a new traditional English village, and Maybeck in some of his final projects-- such as the Wallin II house and The Principia-- drew on similar English forms.
		Home sizes range from just over 2,000 square feet for a traditional New England farmhouse and a gracious Southern cottage with a wrap-around porch, to just 144 square feet for a tiny getaway cabin.
