Villa del Este is poised for a revival of a much needed partnership between the community and the people that live within it. By building a pub-lic transportation system, San Diego has created an environment which allows Villa del Este to grow its community ties into the city and allow a rebirth of the population within the boundar-ies. Building upon connectivity, the people of Villa del Este will dedicate their lifestyle to fos-ter the ever changing identity of the village.

To combat potential risks associated with glob-al changes, San Diego has employed strategies that protect the landscape and the people living within it. Villa del Este will capitalize on the op-portunities of redevelopment by building upon a lifestyle formed by and around the environ-ment. Native plants, permeable paving and grey water use will be deployed in the public areas while many residential and commercial buildings will be constructed with environmental features.

Included Environmental Practices:

* The entire site utilizes the City of San Diego’s graywater system

* All new buildings have reflective glass that blocks the sun and reduce energy costs

* Six 10,000 gallon tank cistern system is located underneath East Village Green

* Solar panels are located on the roof of the community center

As the Villa del Este continues to grow, the need for flexible infrastructure becomes vital in adapt-ing to the dynamic urban environment. By allowing flexible change, East Village is able to promote an identity of environmental practices that shape the structural change of the growing demographics.

Vil-lage [vil-ij] noun- a place of belonging within a local community.

Facing the projected population of the future, East village is position-ing itself to become the rebirth of “City Living” within the downtown district of San Diego. Building upon East Villages’ lack of identity pro-vides an opportunity to create a community environment mixed with social, economical and academic relations while maintaining residen-tial needs. The recent revitalization of the southern end of East Vil-lage provides a catalyst for future and present demographic trends within the area to build upon. The proposed site design will blend East Village within downtown San Diego for future generations.

Research determined which identities cur-rently exist in the surrounding neighbor-hoods and what identity is missing. Accord-ing to the analysis this site is the best location for a community that caters to the local population’s needs, culture and well-being.

Data from the San Diego Association of Governments forecast a vast growth from 2010 to 2030 in population, multi-family occupied units and income for the site as shown above. This presents an oppor-tunity to attract and retain a population that will provide an economic base for the Villa del Este.
