Multifamily Housing Site Design for Livability 

09-29-2014 11:29 AM

This webinar is part of a series sponsored by the Housing Knowledge Community on AIA KnowledgeNet. While there are over 9 million units of suburban multifamily housing in the country - many directly next to commercial strips - their typical, disconnected site designs create a barrier for walkability and livability. This session will present 10 key elements of multifamily site design that practitioners can easily incorporate into their design process and can use to help communicate and persuade planners and developers towards more livable designs. Elements include: Pedestrian Networks, Street Networks, Access Points, Edges, Automobile Parking, Street Design, Building Massing and Orientation, Open Space and Landscape Design, Bicycle Facilities, and Relationships to Neighboring Projects. Register for the webinar. Attendees can earn 1 AIA LUs. Visit this page closer to the date of the webinar to download a PDF of the presentation.
