- Planning (for the Natural and Built Environment) 15 October 2004, 1 (1) .
A new report from the London Housing Federation will help ensure that today's higher density housing developments do not repeat the mistakes of the past. London, in particular, is facing up to a severe shortage of affordable housing for families and "Higher density housing for families: a design and specification guide" outlines the features needed to ensure family housing built at higher densities is popular and successful. The report advises that family homes need gardens, balconies or terraces. It also suggests that they should incorporate flexible layouts, sound insulation and storage arrangements.
