Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Design of Residential Areas: Basic Considerations, Principles, and Methods F all things that contribute to the welfare Of society, none is more important than the good quality Of the homes in which people live. This does not mean that welfare depends solely on houses being strong enough to provide shelter against the elements, but also that they shall be agreeable enough in their environment to give reasonable satisfaction to other human wants. The design of homes, together with their location, approaches, and surroundings, in well-arranged groups and neighborhoods, is one of the most important branches of the art Of city planning. What are the basic considerations underlying this art that apply to residential areas? What are the principles involved in its application? And what are the methods we Should employ so as to Obtain the highest degree of health, comfort, convenience, and beauty consistent with true economy? These are questions which I shall endeavor to answer in the following pages. The difficulties Of discovering answers are the very reasons for making this investigation, assigned to me by the Harvard School Of City Planning. True, it covers ground which has already been tilled and harrowed, but which needs much more cultivation in two directions. In the first place, the root causes of the weedy growth that commonly spoils the urban scene have not been fully unearthed. We need to plow deeper if we are to bring them to the surface. In the second place, the absence of any sure guidance in matters of principle and methods of design with specific reference to residential areas makes it desirable to try to see whether some such sure and definite guidance cannot be given.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban and regional planning is a spatial design practice that brings limitations to the intervention in natural areas to ensure a balance between population growth, housing, and employment in residential areas. It includes spatial design that enables living creatures to live while planning the interventions to ensure suitability to ecology, geology, climate, and land structure since intervention in nature should be balanced. In this context, the profession generally includes regional, spatial and urban planning, urban transformation that involves the urban decline areas in the city, urban renewal and protection, urban transportation, and urban management. Therefore, it is believed that this book will be useful for those who work in this area on a practical or academic basis and follow the innovations in the profession.

Download or read book Missing Middle Housing written by Daniel G. Parolek and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, there is a tremendous mismatch between the available housing stock in the US and the housing options that people want and need. The post-WWII, auto-centric, single-family-development model no longer meets the needs of residents. Urban areas in the US are experiencing dramatically shifting household and cultural demographics and a growing demand for walkable urban living. Missing Middle Housing, a term coined by Daniel Parolek, describes the walkable, desirable, yet attainable housing that many people across the country are struggling to find. Missing Middle Housing types—such as duplexes, fourplexes, and bungalow courts—can provide options along a spectrum of affordability. In Missing Middle Housing, Parolek, an architect and urban designer, illustrates the power of these housing types to meet today’s diverse housing needs. With the benefit of beautiful full-color graphics, Parolek goes into depth about the benefits and qualities of Missing Middle Housing. The book demonstrates why more developers should be building Missing Middle Housing and defines the barriers cities need to remove to enable it to be built. Case studies of built projects show what is possible, from the Prairie Queen Neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska to the Sonoma Wildfire Cottages, in California. A chapter from urban scholar Arthur C. Nelson uses data analysis to highlight the urgency to deliver Missing Middle Housing. Parolek proves that density is too blunt of an instrument to effectively regulate for twenty-first-century housing needs. Complete industries and systems will have to be rethought to help deliver the broad range of Missing Middle Housing needed to meet the demand, as this book shows. Whether you are a planner, architect, builder, or city leader, Missing Middle Housing will help you think differently about how to address housing needs for today’s communities.
