Outside of Atlanta, GA there is a community called Serenbe that is trying things a bit differently. It's all thanks to a little concept called TDR or transfer of development rights. Below is an excerpt from the website for the community....
At Serenbe, we hold the notion that a community is a living part of its natural surroundings, not something to be built at nature's expense. From the ground up, we've taken a new look at community development, and have based every facet of Serenbe design on traditional values and the principles of environmental sustainability. Some elements of this design are obvious, while others are subtle or even unseen.
Take a peek around the website a see what interesting things they're doing down below the Mason-Dixon.
Also, there was a recent article in USA Today about the community.
