• DEFINITION
• The phrase “urban housing” can mean many different things.
It can represent a small, multi-family structure, a large scale
housing project or a high rise building that scrapes the sky.
• It is a type of housing which is defined by its location in
an urban area and the density of people residing in the
area.
• In the design of housing, neighbourliness is the first principle.
All housing schemes involve the design and development of a
number of homes together – often a large number

• The individual homes will collectively define form and
space.
• The complexity of housing design lies not in the planning
of individual houses, flats and maisonettes but in the
way they interact.
• It is this interaction that determines the nature of our
towns and cities in terms of their vitality, security,
community and, not least, in the quality of the external
spaces where we lead the public parts of our lives

BENEFITS OF HIGH DENSITY LIVING
• Economic: Essentially, high-density areas are easier to
service. The cost of providing infrastructure service such
as gas, electricity, water and sewage disposal
progressively reduces as more and more homes can be
served by each kilometre of pipeline.
• Environmental: Greater economic efficiencies have
environmental benefits. More efficient transport and
distribution uses less energy. High-density housing is
inherently more energy efficient.

BENEFITS OF HIGH DENSITY LIVING
• Social: Larger concentrations of people create greater
demand for communal facilities. A larger number of
customers makes more services viable and means that
a more diverse range of minority requirements can be
met.
• More efficient transport: People living in high-density
urban areas travel less that those in smaller settlements.
With less usage of private cars.

URBAN HOUSING FORMS & TYPES
• Building types can be adapted to fit specific urban
contexts. They take different forms depending on the
size of the site or the density required.

• Big House
• A big house apartment is a residential flat building, which
has the proportion and scale of a large detacheddwelling.
• It is a freestanding building in a landscape setting. The
big house can range in size from one to three dwelling
units per floor and is typically two or three storeys high.

• Row Housing:
• Row apartments are suited to a range of lot sizes
because they can be limited to four units around a
central stair or can be extruded along a street to allow
multiple collective entries and longer street edge
development.

• Slab block:
• A slab or block apartment is a residential flat buildingwith an elongated plan and a controlled building depth.
• Units are usually arranged along a corridor with a single
or multiple cores depending on the building length. Slab
buildings are often greater than six storeys in height

vertically proportioned and has a limited number of dwellingunits arranged around a central core.
• The floor plates are typically repetitive and the tower is free
standing except for the base, which may have a podium.
