Myth and Fact 5 <br />s this country continues to grow and change, communities are left to <br />figure out where all these new people will live, work, and shop. New <br />markets are emerging for real estate that offers a more convenient <br />lifestyle than is offered by many low-density sprawling communities. New compact <br />developments with a mix of uses and housing types throughout the country are <br />being embraced as a popular alternative to sprawl. At the core of the success of <br />these developments is density, which is the key to making these communities <br />walkable and vibrant. <br />Unfortunately, in too many communities higher-density mixed-use development <br />is difficult to construct because of zoning and building codes that favor low-density <br />development with segregated uses and because of opposition from the commu- <br />nity. This publication looks at several myths surrounding higher-density develop- <br />ment and attempts to dispel them with facts to help dismantle the many barriers <br />such developments face. <br />ULI is proud to have partnered with NMHC–the National Multi Housing Council, <br />Sierra Club, and AIA–the American Institute of Architects on this publication. <br />This convergence of interests highlights the importance each organization has <br />placed on finding a new development pattern that better fits the needs of a <br />growing and changing country. <br />ULI will continue to provide forums in which all stakeholders can explore and <br />debate issues about growth and development patterns and how properly designed <br />and incorporated density can be used to accommodate new growth. ULI will conduct <br />research, produce well-balanced information, and identify best practices on issues <br />relevant to growth and density.Through these efforts, ULI and its partners hope to <br />play a role in planning a better development pattern for the future. <br />Harry H. Frampton III <br />Chair
