A home is a place of residence or refuge. When referring to a building, usually the place where an individual or family can rest and store personal property. A housing is a group of houses and other buildings built together as a single development. The exact form may vary from country to country.
Housing is a form commonly used in residential design of new towns, where estates are designed as autonomous suburbs, centered around a small commercial center. Plantations are usually designed to minimize through-traffic flow, and to provide recreation space in the form of parks and green.
