How do we get urban density 'just right'? The Goldilocks quest for the 'missing middle'

Retrieved on: 
Friday, September 1, 2023

Debates over densities in our cities divide between advocates of low-rise detached housing and supporters of higher-density towers.

Key Points: 
  • Debates over densities in our cities divide between advocates of low-rise detached housing and supporters of higher-density towers.
  • Decades of planning for urban consolidation has made little difference – medium density is still missing in many of our cities.
  • Read more:
    Houses and high-rises (and nothing in between): why land zoning hasn't been effective for improving urban density

Lack of clarity bedevils density debates

    • In debates about urban density, there’s often a confused mix of different conceptions and measures of density.
    • For example, the widely used measure of dwellings per hectare conflates building and population densities, capturing neither with precision.
    • Often such debates don’t consider basic distinctions such as those between building and population densities, residential and job densities, internal and external densities (inside and outside buildings), measured and perceived densities.
    • Read more:
      Urban density matters – but what does it mean?

Buzzwords don’t solve the problem

    • This tendency has been often countered through linguistic attempts to reframe the term.
    • For example, in Vancouver, Canada, the urbanist Brent Toderian has been calling for “density done well”.
    • Other terms include “Goldilocks density” – “not too high, not too low, but just right” – “optimal-quality density” and “EcoDenCity”.
    • Our research shows that planning professionals in Melbourne associate “density done well” with neighbourhoods as different as North Perth, Western Australia, and Friedrichshain in Berlin.

Getting density right depends on local contexts

    • The block is formed by attached buildings aligned with the streets with a large communal courtyard in the middle.
    • It’s common and well understood in Europe (Friedrichshain is an example above), but less so in Australia and North America.
    • Research testing these criteria for Melbourne shows only five larger pockets come close to meeting them, with floor area ratios of 0.6-0.7.
    • This will require increased urban density literacy, through formal and informal education, as well as public deliberation, so we can build cities as diverse as our societies.
