2 Overview: Explore the question of density and livability Contemporary trends in a global economy Examples from developing world Critique of current trends Concerns about density and livability Recommendations 2012 APA PLANNING CONFERENCE, LOS ANGELES 2
3 Arguments for density: Essential for the compact city paradigm: as alternative to sprawl Efficient, sustainable, limiting ecological/carbon footprint Sense of place and community Community of propinquity 2012 APA PLANNING CONFERENCE, LOS ANGELES 3
4 Arguments for high-rise density View and ventilation Privacy (visual, also from anomie) Security defensible space Parking underground direct access But. Clustering and spacing of towers could affect both view and privacy Affordability, lower land cost, energy efficient (??) 2012 APA PLANNING CONFERENCE, LOS ANGELES 4

28 The new urban density in the emerging economies A product of large scale land development A result of the initial absence of land market, individual property rights, or smaller grain land subdivision (especially in China) Superblocks or mega-blocks are the units of developments, in place of sub-block smaller parcels A Faustian scale and pace of development combined with a Corbusian architectural modernity in a matrix of Haussmanian tradition of clearance and development
29 Gated Density: Self-contained, totally privatized enclaves According to the public choice economists these are examples of club phenomenon From cities as clubs to cities of clubs (Chris Webster) Urbanism of exclusion, isolation, withdrawal, secession of successful (Robert Reich) Death of the street (James Holston), atrophy of the public realm Splintering or the end of civil society (but in China these gated communities and homeowners associations are seen as signs of incipient grassroots democracy) APA PLANNING CONFERENCE, LOS ANGELES 29
30 Density and Livability Density and mental health.early concerns of Durkheim, Simmel, et al about loss of identity, decline of family and community, anomie Stanley Milgram s work on stimulus overload and the tendency to withdraw the case of bystander apathy Empirical research on density, crowding, and mental health remains inconclusive because of many intervening variables like culture. Adaptation, etc. Although Oscar Lewis culture of poverty implies social pathology among slum dwellers 2012 APA PLANNING CONFERENCE, LOS ANGELES 30
31 Density and Livability (contd.) The Pruitt-Igoe debacle also suggests such social pathology that density might cause in interaction with lower income and other social factors Issue of privacy loss and/or gain? Anomie is a best form of privacy But also the autonomy-withdrawal syndrome (Alexander). Could density lead to decline of the sense of community? Agoraphobia? [Bill Murray in What About Bob? and Jack Nicholson in As good as it gets ] 2012 APA PLANNING CONFERENCE, LOS ANGELES 31
32 Optimal Density Is there such a thing as optimal density? Cultural thresholds and adaptability But also increasingly globalization of consumption tastes and preferences Looming affordability issue shrinking of the housing space for moderate income folks, younger population, and senior citizens With shrinking private space increased importance of the public realm and the public life implications for urban design of higher density 2012 APA PLANNING CONFERENCE, LOS ANGELES 32
33 Dealing with Density and Towers: Towers, or their bases should help define the street wall that allows transparency, interaction The site plan must integrate the existing urban fabric Mixed uses retail and other commercial uses --- should be accessible from the street The project pan should include amenities like public squares, plazas, etc. that allow propinquity and social contact, and not limited to the residents only Integration of income class Connect to transit access and hubs 2012 APA PLANNING CONFERENCE, LOS ANGELES 33
