520			_aSees density as a key variable in the delivery of sustainable communities but questions how well its contribution at different spatial scales is understood and how it relates to other policy and development considerations. The density issue is important because land resources must be used prudently, communities need to have enough critical mass to support local facilities and density should be tied to the accessibility of local facilities and public transport. Focuses on the German infrastructure led approach developed in Freiburg. Concludes that the greatest barrier to delivering sustainable communities is the public's antipathy to new housing and that development models must be created, which are capable of providing many additional homes efficiently and in long-term sustainable forms.
