Poundbury is an experimental urban extension on the western outskirts of Dorchester in the county of Dorset, England. The development is led by the Duchy of Cornwall, and had the keen endorsement of King Charles III when he was Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall. Under the direction of its lead architect and planner Léon Krier, its design is based on traditional architecture and New Urbanist philosophy.
Due for completion in 2025, it is expected to house a population of 6,000. There are 2,000 people in more than 180 businesses engaged in its development and construction. Poundbury has been praised for reviving the low-rise streetscape built to the human scale and for echoing traditional local design features, but it has not reduced car use, as originally intended. A 2022 report said: "Poundbury has been highlighted for its pedestrian and public transport links and not being as 'car-based' as other developments across the country".
Thanks for watching.

So green and pretty. Love the blue skies and puffy clouds. Where are all the people? Quite the contrast to Palma. Thank you for this video.
It is a quiet village on a normal work day.
According to protesters, they’re all in Mallorca!!

Welcome back to the UK👍👍
It's good to be here
I think Poundbury looks beautiful. You can't please all the people all of the time.
It is certainly maturing.
It has a georgian look to it, all diferent houses, enjoy your break 👍
Yes, the architecture is interesting there.
Lovely area; spoilt by the proliferation of ugly cars and vans.
It is an area where people come first and cars second.
Doesn't look like it.
