A great new interpretation of the #missingmiddle housing types.
Cities serious about #housing will CLEARLY express their intent to re-legalize all of these forms.

#MissingMiddle refers to multi-unit housing types in walkable neighborhoods that provide diverse #housing choices but generate enough density to support #transit and #commerce. Common in pre-war era this housing type is less common now (hence “missing”):

This was an 8 unit row house where we took two old war time bungalows (100x120 feet) and put them together. Completed in 2017 and learned a lot! #rowhouses #yyc #missingmiddle #gentledensity

🏭🏘🏢Sean Galbraith🗻❄️🥏@PlannerSeanThis was the same result as when @CityPlanTO and @BradMBradford went door to door talking with people about #missingmiddle. We should stop letting unrepresentative house owner associations dominate the discourse on planning.Jes In My Back Yard @_jesmcbrideFascinating what you hear when you don't give NIMBYs a platform advantage: "@Planning4LA partnered with @FM3Research to conduct a poll of over 800 randomly selected City residents to assess their opinions on housing related issues and proposed responses to the strategies." 1/431366

Some prefer to keep the ageing process at bay by staining it, but it adds character. It’s like the wrinkles on your face😊. Ageing is a beautiful natural process; let things age gracefully. #yyc #missingmiddle #rowhouses
12095 - Another solution to bring four homes on a less conventional footprint. 43x141 feet. Taking advantage of the depth on a lot that would have been two very deep semi-detached infills into four row-houses. Cedar💧 detail 🔥. #rowhouses #yyc #missingmiddle

6102226 - This is not a duplex. It’s a 4plex. Mid block and all connected. Structure is essentially a square with 4 garage units detached off the lane. This fits in every community every where! #gentledensity #missingmiddle

Climate crisis? Compact urbanism with just the right amount of density to enable walking and cycling will be central moving forward, "more than any other solution." This is our mission on #TyndaleGreen. #MissingMiddle #HousingForAll via @string21351- Imagine never filling up again? Let’s connect the dots: we have land in our cities where we could add housing - near parks, schools, transit. Land where, will a little more density, more shops and restaurants will thrive nearby. #OneLessCar #MissingMiddle1336
My Design firm has been commissioned with designing a New Orleans themed walkable community for this 1.4 acre site, pretty exciting to bring this Middle Housing project to the Eddie Robinson Historic District! #DesignBuild #MissingMiddle
126184- It IS possible to design and build high quality housing that is affordable to key workers, and that is designed for walking and living, instead of designed to prioritize cars and driving. #MissingMiddle Here, social housing underway in the UK by Karakusevic Carson Architects.
916100 - Kudos to Mayor @JohnTory and deputy Mayor @anabailaoTO for grabbing the bull by the horns and bringing this motion to council today, to explore adding incremental density where we need it most, and where infrastructure like school capacity already exists. #MissingMiddle

Naama Blonder@naama_blonder#Chicago: >20 units, 4-storeys, courtyard building. Not 4-plex, not garden suites, Toronto's precious Neighbourhoods could absorb more substantial changes than these "cute" typologies we call the #missingmiddle. Anyone looking at this photo and thinking this is "inappropriate"?
2115160- I hope more cities adopt programs like this to support the creation of more Missing Middle and Affordable Housing options! Pre-Approved plans for single family up to 6 unit complexes with a simple 3 step process for approval! Kudos to South Bend! #MissingMiddleSamuel Hughes @SCP_HughesThe town South Bend in Indiana has pre-approved a set of standard house designs. This aims at lowering the planning costs of simple, attractive infill development. Apparently this happens fairly often in the USA.68499.2K

Gordon Padelford@GordonOfSeattleThis adorable bungalow court community was built in 1917 — we should be building more of these! #MissingMiddle Cherry Hill, Seattle

Angelo Korsanos@AKorSydThis is a🧵for those with a romantic notion that switching on zoning for 3 storey walk-ups like those we had in the 70s (pictured below) is going to solve the #missingmiddle

Some historical precedents for ground-oriented denser housing choices aka #GentleDensity make you melt. This is Schnoor Quarter in #Bremen, Germany - “life before the car” via @heuristics. Nothing stops us from building something like this today except our rules. #missingmiddle
