Great resource on
Visualizing Density from the
Lincoln Institute of Land Policy here in Cambridge, MA which articulates its mission as...
"...a resource for key issues concerning the use, regulation, and taxation of land. Providing high-quality education and research, the Institute strives to improve public dialogue and decisions about land policy."
And on Density specifically...
"The American Dream of a single-family home on its own expanse of yard still captures the imagination. But with 100 million more people expected in the United States by 2050, rising energy and transportation costs, disappearing farmland and open space, and the clear need for greater energy efficiency and reduced global warming emissions, the future built environment must include more density."
I especially like their Visualizing Density learning-visuals, as represented by this example from Boston's own
Back Bay neighborhood and how you get different densities depending on what you include and measure...
