The total number of residents in the apartment buildings is 492.

2.1. Collector road (Z)

The collector road: Donald Duck's Street is going horizontally and below of the estate. The footpath has 2 meters of width and is offset by 1,5 meter from the road. The cycle path is also 2 meters wide and is situated 3,5 meters from the collector road.

2.2 Local Roads (L)

There is only one local road Mickey Mouse's St. in the estate. It is going through the whole estate and passing by shopping mall, school and some apartments building and low-rise houses.

3. Car Parks

Number of car Parks in the “Disneyland Park” estate depends on the places for apartment buildings, Kindergarten, Shopping mall. There are 171 parking places on the estate. This number consists of 121 places for apartment buildings, 10 for Kindergarten, 15 for School and 26 for Shopping Mall. There were provided more car parks then should be (according to the formula).

3.1. Parking requirement calculation

In our estate we have 2 types of high-rise houses: TYPE A (4 persons / floor), TYPE B (7 persons / floor) , what multiplied by the amount of floors on whole estate (18 floors by 4 persons/floor, 8 floors by 7 persons/floor) gives us 548 residents. As I mentioned earlier car ownership is 200 cars per 1000 people. When we know that we can calculate amount of parking spaces which are required:

L= Lw * Wm * 1.1

L= 548 * 200/1000 * 1.1

L= 120.56

where:

L = Parking spaces required

Lw = Total residents

Wm = Car ownership

1.1 = coefficient of the parks places, which provides 10% more places for visitors

We know that, there should be provided additional car parks places for a housing estate. The amount of required parking spaces for the Shopping Center is 24 places for every 1000 m². The Shopping Center in Uphill has 1000 m², so to calculate the number of required parking spaces we use the formula:

L= A * Wm

L= 1000 * 24/1000

L= 24

where:

A = Total area

Wm = Given parking spaces to area ratio

3.2 Location of the car Parks

In the `Disneyland Park' estate are 7 car parks. All car parking places have got the same dimension (2.5m x 5m) and are perpendicular to the streets.

Almost everywhere are trees, so people who lives here can feel healthy. There are a lot of footpaths for long walking in the estate. All infrastructure do not affect to green places.
