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. The 2021 census showed a population of 4,100. Due for completion in 2025, it is expected to house a population of 6,000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poundbury
