Urban Density Flashcards

Flashcards about urban density and zoning.

Food Deserts

Often seen in cities with poor urban planning and a lack of quality public transportation and infrastructure.

Medium Density Areas

Buildings start to shrink, shifting from high-rise to low-rise apartments, with more multi-family and single-family homes, offering residents small yards and a suburban feel.

Low Density Areas

Characterized by single-family homes, larger lot sizes, more green spaces, parking lots, and larger roadways. Increased commute times and a larger dependence on personal vehicles to get around.

Urban Planning
