A bolder vision for your community
Our methodology is designed to take a step back and find the greatest opportunity for housing development in your municipality. Where standard analysis often focuses on capacity within existing constraints, we look beyond the limitation of current zoning etc to paint a picture of how your area could develop to meet the needs (social and economic) of a growing population.
The output is designed to paint a practical vision which can be used to inform Councillors, the community and other stakeholders about the opportunity for and benefits to well-designed housing infill.
Understand the potential of your centres
Successful higher density development requires that it is well-located, well-designed and integrated into the fabric of its community. Here at .id, we are big believers in the importance of centres and have more than 25 years of experience working with councils to help encourage higher density living within their communities.
Using a typology assessment, we can help you determine which centres are best suited to achieve higher densities. Our analysis considers the following.
- Access to public transport
- Level of services and retailing
- Access to major institutions
- Urban integration
- Environmental measures
- Economic productivity
Answer the right questions
Our multi-criteria approach to identifying your housing opportunity looks at the demand, supply and opportunity by answering the following questions about your area.
- Who lives here?
- Why types of dwellings do they live in?
- How affordable is housing?
- Who is leaving? Why?
- Who is arriving? Why?
- Where is residential development occurring?
- Where are the opportunities for future development? What types of development?
- What are the benefits to the community, the economy and the environment?
