The research question guiding this research project is ‘how can coordinated medium density level housing typologies be developed in Perth, to address the “missing middle” in current densification efforts?’ In order to answer this question LandCorp, the AUDRC and Lisa Shine Urban Design brought together representatives from state government, local government, the urban design profession, the urban development community and academia to wrestle with this issue. This report sets out the findings from these workshops to better understand how urban design strategies can lay the groundwork for medium density living.
