The Little Book of Density

This little book presents the result of four studies, undertaken as part of the Urban Futures research project. Through these studies, we reveal:

• The multi-dimensional aspects of density

• A number of interesting relationships that exist between the different types of density and a diverse set of variables, such as noise and wellbeing

• Who makes density decisions and who should make them differs

• What people use to make decisions, the numerous formal and informal tools, techniques, methods and resources

• Where people make density decisions in the development process, and how it differs depending on whether they are thinking of themselves or others

• How we can ‘future-proof’ designs, policies and programmes that consider density using the Urban Futures methodology
