higher densities report

mæ Partner Alex Ely instigated and project managed this research into the design quality of our neighbourhoods in relation to high density when Head of Sustainable Communities at CABE.

This report investigates the barriers that prevent successful high density schemes from being built. Why are the best examples of good quality, denser housing so few and far between? Where in the process do good developments fall down? How does the planning system help or hinder higher density? The report also looks in detail at the benefits of higher density housing, challenging negative perceptions and demonstrating how higher densities can contribute to vibrant, successful neighbourhoods where people want to live.
