Horizon West: A Model Community Or Suburban Sprawl?
Horizon West's innovation design is supposed to weave in the benefits of traditional downtown neighborhoods but critics say it is just sprawl under a different label.
"The result of a 10-year planning effort, this new community comprises 38,000 acres located immediately west and south of Walt Disney World in central Florida. "the 38,000-acre project, hailed for its innovative design, is giving nearby residents growing pains. They worry about jammed roads and polluted lakes -- and that their slow-paced lifestyle is at risk...whether Horizon West is delivering on the promise of creating a model community, which incorporates the trappings of traditional downtown neighborhoods while recognizing the nuances of the suburbs, depends on whom you ask."
