Integrated Density
The United Nations predicts that 70% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050. In order to house their growing populations, cities must either succumb to urban sprawl or condense its growing population onto existing metropolitan land through in fill and building vertically. A mega-city like Chicago must prepare for this increase in urban population. The question is how will Chicago house its increasing number of citizens? The city already has two distinct types of urban housing. There are the row houses of neighborhoods like Lincoln Park and high rise apartment towers of the downtown area. However these two types of housing do not hold the key to answering Chicago’s question. Row houses are not dense enough and would eventually lead to urban sprawl. Whereas apartment towers provide a high density, but do not give its residents comforts like access to green space that row houses do. What is needed is a new type of residential building. One that can provide Chicago with a high density tower while still holding on to the parks and row houses of lower density neighborhoods. This INTEGRATION of these two forms of housing gives residents close proximity to green space in a high DENSITY tower while also providing residents with communal amenities and the surrounding community with a corner plaza and commercial space on the street level.
