About the Book
The contemporary Yao neighborhood in the city should express both Yao village characteristics and city features together. In the City-Village model proposed here, a small community space is composed of five units. Three units share a courtyard, and the other two share a courtyard and a living room. Each
unit has its own working space at home. This small community connects to other small communities
within the same development to create a larger village within the city, all sharing a common piazza and retail space. The Yao City-Village encourages people to live as a community, and gather together as they had in the village. Neighbors can easily invite people to their houses to have traditional oil tea together, to drop in and visit, to sing folk songs, have square dancing, and play Taiji.
