Density by Design : New Directions in Residential Development
Editorial Reviews Book Description Density by Design provides innovative solutions to the challenge of developing higher density housing that will be successful in the marketplace. Case studies of 14 projects show how others have implemented the best new ideas in residential develpment and design. Projects covered range in density from single-family subdivisions to downtown high-rise apartments and illustrate many up-to-the minute concepts: new urbanism, transit-oriented development, mixed-income and mixed-housing types, urban infill, and adaptive use.
Each case study is loaded with full color photographs, drawings, site and floor plans, and covers project data such as development costs, sales prices, lot sizes, setback standards, street and alley dimensions, and parking ratios. From the Publisher Especially useful for architects, planners, builders, and developers, the case studies in this book show how smart growth can pay off economically. They also reveal trends and standards for developing projects that provide a sense of place, use land efficiently without compromising livability, and that can pass the twin tests of governmental approval and marketability.
