Higher Density Development:
Myth and Fact

Higher Density Development: Myth and Fact (pdf file)

This is the sixth in a series of publications designed to dispel myths and offer good examples on issues related to growth and land use. It addresses common myths surrounding density.

Free Companion PowerPoint Presentations

Two free scripted PowerPoint presentations (available through below links) make an ideal companion to the Higher Density Development: Myth and Fact publication. One is appropriate for a suburban audience and the other for an urban audience. Both address anticipated population growth and how increasing the density of suburban and urban communities is a needed and desirable way to combat sprawl.
