My SOA is Nottingham 008A (Lower Layer Super Output Area)[1] My area is becoming more modern. My community is next to hucknall road which has a lot of traffic on it. [2]
when looking for the definition of sustainable communities i fount that it means communities which are planned, built, or modified to promote sustainable living. They tend to focus on enviormental sustainability (including development and agriculture and economic sustanability. Sustainable communities can focus on sustainable urban infrustracture and/or sustainable municuple infrastructure. on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_communities
My area has 604 houseses with 19 which have no residents in them. 40 houses are detached and 396 houses are semi detached. The area in which i live in is a sustainble community in a culture way because has a range of ethnicites with 1,528, 65 white and black carribean, 35 asian british and pakistani and 87 black britsh. [3]
The area where i live is quite sustainable because only 263 people travel to work by car/van, 11 people use a bike, 69 people walk, 104 people use bus/mini bus/coach. [4] this shows some aspects of a sustainable community.

I found it interesting that so many houses in your area were not occupied, this suggests that it may be slightly unsustainable as the space could possibly be put to better use. I agree however that your area shows some aspects of a sustainable community because the majority of people use more sustainable forms of transport.You could state how you think your community could improve, or possibly if it is sustainable or not overall?
