Google Images

I have been doing a few Google Image searches for visual representations of community. One of the interesting things I've noticed is that land development companies and real estae agents seem to use the concpet of community as a selling point.

Some examples:

a retirement community

another retirement community

an educational community







This got me to thinking about how the concept of community can be commodified, the idea of the good old days can be romanticised. Not entirely relevant to community development, but I thought I'd put it out there.
