Infill Projects and Strategies for Their Integration
Vacant city land offers opportunities and challenges to urban designers. Proximity and easy linking with existing roads and utilities, and contribution to the rehabilitation of rundown neighborhood are some valuable advantages. Encountering contaminated soil, odd-sized lots, and facing Not in My Backyard (NIMBY) sentiments are some of the drawbacks. Yet, the need to curb urban sprawl, adopt smart growth strategies, and lower housing costs makes infill housing worth pursuing. This chapter elaborates on issues related to urban design of infill projects and dwells on strategies for their physical integration.
