Urban Density Contextualized provides planners with the tools to understand, assess, and implement urban density successfully.

It systematically explores the social context of urban density, and how it plays a role in urban design and planning strategies. Cities and places have unique cultures and identities, and a wide range of considerations need to be considered in the attempt to insert more density. This book acknowledges this relationship—between urban density and social and physical context—and investigates the ways in which density can use this context to enhance livability and promote a more sustainable world. Chapters include the following topics: density and housing, accessibility, affordability, zoning, typology, and history, as well as case studies of design strategy from across the U.S.

It is essential for urban planners, architects, landscape architects, and others working in design and planning fields.
