Increasing Density Can Create A Sense Of Place
A new publication uses case studies to illustrate how increasing density in appropriate locations can help achieve local economic development goals.
The Local Government Commission has released a new publication that defines density and outlines how increasing density can create a great place to live. "Creating Great Neighborhoods: Density in Your Community," produced in partnership with the EPA, uses case studies to illustrate how increasing density in appropriate locations can help achieve local economic development goals, provide housing options, create walkable neighborhoods, protect air/water quality, and create a sense of place.
