Episode 29: Episode 29: Carfree Urbanism and Missing Middle Housing
Dan Parolek and his team at Opticos Design coined the term and wrote the book on Missing Middle Housing to describe house-sized buildings with multiple units. These duplexes, quadplexes, cottage courts, etc. are essential tools in creating equitable walkable urbanism. In this episode, Ellen Dunham-Jones talks with Dan about their implementation at Culdesac, Tempe, the country’s first and largest carfree and mobility rich community built from scratch. For those interested in images, the podcast is a companion to the video of Dan’s hour-long lecture given the same day and also available at the Redesigning Cities website.
