Cities worldwide are experiencing population growth, increasing housing demands and a need for walkable, sustainable neighbourhoods. Addressing these demands can be challenging, but Missing Middle Housing offers a promising solution. This concept, introduced by Daniel Parolek, includes multi-unit residences like duplexes, fourplexes and bungalow courts, which bridge the gap between single-family homes and large apartment complexes. Though seemingly different in appearance, each of these housing types shares the common goal of promoting affordable housing, community, walkability and neighbourhood diversity. In today’s blog, we’ll explore the importance of Missing Middle buildings and how they can help address the housing crisis while fostering vibrant, walkable communities.
