Low-rise high-density

[6] The low-rise, high-density approach has regained popularity as an alternative to suburban sprawl and high-rise housing, offering a way to create density while providing a sense of community and connection to the ground.

[4][9] Seven young architecture firms: Engaged by the UDC to further develop the low-rise, high-density prototype presented at MoMA, drawing from the pioneering work of architects like Atelier 5.

[4] Contemporary architects and researchers: Figures like Karen Kubey, exhibitor of Suburban Alternatives, which traced the typology of low-rise, high-density housing over time, advocates for this approach.

[10] The aim of this housing model is to deliver the benefits of density, such as supporting public services and reducing environmental impact, while still providing residents with a sense of community and individual identity more typical of single-family homes.

3-7 story mid-rise buildings, often in a perimeter block configuration with a central courtyard, are cited as an example of this "missing middle" that can enable walkable neighborhoods with multiple different uses and housing types.
