Time: 8:30 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
Event Description:
The Delaware Valley Smart Growth Alliance presents:

How did the middle go MISSING?







Housing production in the Philadelphia region is a density bar-bell: at one end high-density apartment complexes and at the other singles and towns. We create little in between.
 
The expert on those "missing middle housing" types is architect Dan Parolek of Berkeley, CA who will share with us strategies to provide new housing in existing centers sensitively. How can we provide affordably priced new housing in walkable settings? How can we satisfy demand for walkable communities without undermining the very character of these special places?
 
Dan will speak and then participate in a panel with Kevin Gillen of Drexel's Lindy Center for Urban Innovation and others.
