Visualizing Density

by Julie  Campoli;  Alex  MacLean

www.lincolninst.edu/pubs/PubDetail.aspx?pubid=1178

Campoli, a landscape architect and land planner, and MacLean, an architect and aerial photographer, have created a visual study of housing density throughout the U.S. Starting with an essay on the benefits (and difficulties) of density, the authors explore various types of residential development, from low-density suburban sprawl to high-density, high-rise development. Aerial photographs accompany both the essay and an encyclopedic chapter on density patterns, and the “density catalog” offers pages of photographs organized by the number of units per acre. A companion CD-ROM and website offer readers the opportunity to share these powerful images with land planners, community leaders, and residents, helping make the argument for dense,multi-use development.
