Answer 1

In the UK they build the services and houses first and depend on the houses getting sold to raise enough money to build the roads, amenities, schools etc..

Most new towns it is a prerequisite that shops, schools, sports centres etc.., get built as part of the development. There are three small villages being built near me and one of the requirements from the council is that they also build a new Travellers camp.

In a lot of recent cases the builders pull a fast one and say “oops the houses didn’t raise as much as we thought so we are unable to build you a new school”
