We explore here the intersection of design and development in the affordable housing sector. Housing authorities, local governments, and investors will discover how design influences the success of affordable housing projects from various perspectives. Our discussion will examine the balance between density and sprawl, explore alternative models like low-density, cooperative, and modular housing in urban settings, and assess the viability of inclusionary housing in the US. We also discuss the support needed from housing authorities and local governments to achieve developmental goals and create healthier, sustainable, and economically viable communities. This session offers stakeholders a chance to gain insights, share experiences, and help shape the future of affordable housing, highlighting the crucial role of architectural design in delivering equitable, quality housing solutions.
