Delightful Density
June 5, 2012
Vancouver, BC, Canada
This is a version of my Delightful Density presentation, in which I make the case for strategically increasing housing density in key locations in order improve our economy and environment and to provide choices for underserved portions of the market. Most importantly, I show how to do it in a way that people will love. This version is shorter, and really drives the point home in a quick way for those of you who are in a hurry.

Palo Alto, California
This is the full version of Delightful Density, which provides more detail for those who need it. It also features the full version of my popular Guess the Density game. I use this game to help people understand that not all dense buildings are bad, not all low density buildings are good, and you can't tell how dense something is by looking at it.
