Housing In Between

Opening context: Identifiable Neighborhood, Household Mix, Subculture Boundary, Neighborhood Boundary, Work Community

Conflict

Wherever there is a sharp separation between residential and non residential parts of town, the non-residential areas will quickly turn to slums.

Resolution

Build houses into the fabric of shops, small industry, schools, public services, universities — all those parts of cities which draw people in during the day, but which tend to be “non-residential”. The houses may be in rows or “hills” as they mix with the other functions, and make the entire area “lived-in”.
