Hello Forum Members,
I was wondering if any of you could please help me.
I am entering my third year reading Geography and I am undertaking my dissertation, the subject of which is "The Rural Idyll to the Built Community". I believe that Poundbury is a perfect example of the purpose built rural idyll.
Therefore I was just wondering if anyone can tell me what they think it is like to live in Poundbury, it would be very useful to have an insight into life in this community.
If any of these questions could be answered, it would be very much appreciated.
How long have you lived in Poundbury?
Where you the first person to live in your home?
Why did you choose to live in Poundbury?
Do you class it as a rural community? Is there a community feel? How is that created?
Does Poundbury provide all the services (shops etc.) you require?
If not where / how far do you travel?
Is there a good public transport network in Poundbury? To where?
What do you like about living in Poundbury?
What do you dislike if anything, about living in Poundbury?
What do you think of as the rural idyll / ideal rural community?
Where were most of the residents born?
Are there any social problems? Class conflicts?
Do you think the housing style represent rural life?
Do you think Poundbury stands alone or does it feel very much part of Dorchester?
How much connection does Poundbury have with the surrounding countryside?
Do you think it differs from a village that has been in existence for hundreds of years?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you!
