US cities don't have a missing middle problem, they have a missing *mid-rise* problem.
A problem that is reflected in the depths of our housing crises – and in the inability to meet climate goals.
In this episode of the Livable Low-Carbon City, we'll explore the problems with Missing Middle housing and why it is inadequate to meet the demands of today's housing shortage - and why we need to be focusing on broad areas zoned for mid-rise districts instead.
Subjects discussed in this episode include:
Mid-rise districts like those in Berlin, Amsterdam, Tokyo...
The stunning brownfield to ecodistrict development in Utrecht's Merwede, by OKRA + Bura Urbanism.
Since we're discussing land use between the U.S. and Germany/Europe - I highly recommend Prof. Sonia Hirt's article on this subject, 'To zone or not to zone? Comparing European and American Land-use Regulation'
