High-density living is linked to sustainable outcomes but can reduce social interaction among residents, negatively affecting wellbeing and happiness. This study examined how high-density housing can be designed to promote social interaction.
Three case studies of award-winning, design-led developments were analyzed, focusing on whether social interaction was a key design element, where it occurred, and how physical design influenced social contact.
Research methods included interviews with residents and architects, participant observation, and content analysis. © Urban Design Group
