It incorporates smart energy management, automated waste collection, and other green features. The community is also ensuring that all homes are smart enabled.

Tengah EC is located near the proposed car-free town center. It has a community centre, a sports hub, and several facilities. It also has an MRT station that is a short walk away. It has a total of 615 units over 22,020 square meters. The homes are also fully eco-friendly. They feature green roofs, rainwater collection systems, and automated waste collection.
Planned town with 100% car-free zones
Opticos Design, the company that redesigned the famous downtown Los Angeles mall, is also responsible for the creation of a planned town with 100% car-free zones. While this feat of urban planning may have eluded them, the folks at Culdesac were smart enough to hire Opticos to oversee their post-car-renovation master plan. Opticos’ execs are tasked with the task of figuring out how to make the magic happen. In a nutshell, the plan entails a large-scale overhaul of the neighborhood’s paved surfaces. It also involves a major overhaul of its public transportation infrastructure. The good news is that the project is expected to be completed by the end of the year, thanks to a combination of public and private funds.
The company’s spokesman said it is a “complex and time-consuming project.” The company is already working on a plan to convert a formerly four-lane boulevard into a pedestrian-only affair, with a first-phase completion date of 2020.
