Assessing the physical characteristics of medium density mixed housing in South Africa
The new housing plan in South Africa promotes the development of medium density andmixed housing developments. The nature and organisation of the physical characteristicsof this type of housing has been identified as one of the key factors that could influencethe success of these developments. However, while there is a growing need for empiricalresearch in the built environment discipline, there are very few tools or methods formeasuring the built environment, especially in terms of the physical design characteristics. Inorder to address this, a housing measurement tool was developed for assessing the physicalcharacteristics of selected medium density mixed housing developments and determinemedium density mixed housing’s relevance for the implementation of the housing plan. Itwas found that the tool provides a useful mechanism to built environment professionals toassess the physical characteristics of these housing types.
