Essential Components of the 21st Century Community: Housing for the "Missing Middle"

Speakers: Lina Velasco, Senior Planner, City of Richmond, CA; Lisa Wise, Principal, Lisa Wise Consulting, Inc. Moderator: Stefan Pellegrini, Principal, Opticos Design, Inc.

This session examines and debates the potential for medium-density housing as an essential future component of our livable communities. Several indicators have increased recent interest in higher-density housing, including changing demographics, decreasing housing affordability, and increasing efforts to conserve energy through more compact development patterns. At the same time, higher-density housing has been challenged by high development and entitlement costs, limited market share, and incessant NIMBYism. Well-designed, medium-density housing, however, suggests that there is a high potential for cost effective, appropriately-scaled development patterns that will allow today's low density communities to evolve and transition in response to future challenges.

Speakers: Roger Millar, PE, AICP, Director, Smart Growth America's Leadership Institute; Tom Hanel, Mayor, City of Billings, MT; Dena Belzer, President, Strategic Economics; Elaine Clegg, Councilmember, City of Boise, ID; Special Projects Manager, Idaho Smart Growth

In April 2011, Smart Growth America partnered with the City of Billings, Montana on a two-day workshop to talk about ways that this relatively small (but regionally significant and growing) city could pursue strategies to foster more and better infill development and curb sprawl. Based on their experience leading this workshop, our panelists will provide an overview of some of the challenges smaller, growing Western cities like Billings face in adopting good infill strategies.
