Thoughtfully designed communities promote social interactions, prevent loneliness and isolation, and provide a sense of belonging. This session challenges attendees to look beyond typical housing models to envision the potential for smaller-scale housing that can flex to meet different price points, challenges the need for bigger units, and creates a market-friendly sense of community that can thrive even during times of social distancing. Marketable towards a variety of income levels, this model can serve lower, middle, and even a high-end luxury market. Join us to learn how pocket neighborhoods can help prevent social isolation through pedestrian-friendly settings that promote passive and active engagement.
