Nothing spectacular but an interesting car free alternative to suburbia with high urban density and local small shops. If large enough could have it’s own school and more amenities.

Maybe, I think it’s designed like that to maximize shade. Which is important in phoenix. I think it would be nice to have a lot more mesquite and palo verde trees but dumb people complain about them when they the flower because the make a tone of pollen. Also the mesquites make huge messes of tree sap and mesquite beans.
Gardens and vegetation are compatible with the general design I think. Lots of things will grow better in the shade in Phoenix anyway.
Bring on the mess. The world wasn’t meant to be clean.
Even just slightly more green would be nice. It might also a question of real estate costs in that area. And walking distance around the village. And climate. Really it’s more like an old European city, not a village, but they probably needed a name to say it’s different.
