Developed by The Walt Disney Company in the 1990s, Celebration is a community in Florida designed to embody small-town charm. Groundbreaking occurred in 1994, with residents moving in by 1996 after a lottery selection. It boasts picturesque features, including tree-lined streets and civic buildings, to enhance public space and community engagement. The town design promotes interaction among residents, with architectural choices like alley-accessed garages to encourage pedestrian-friendly environments. Celebration today is home to about 13,000 residents who enjoy its vibrant community activities, such as cultural festivals.
An emphasis on tree-lined streets, parks, and civic buildings will create a strong public realm, an essential ingredient to any real town.
Garages are located on alleys, opening the streets to views of houses rather than garage doors, and at the same time allowing for narrower lots which decrease walking distances and enhance the sense of community.
