- Abstract
- Every year, faculty from the Department of City and Regional Planning at UNC-Chapel Hill determine the best master’s paper developed out of the graduating class. Below is only an extended abstract of the project. To obtain the original, full-length document, please visit the “Electronic Theses and Dissertation Collection” at http://dc.lib.unc.edu. This paper examines how planning processes in the Research Triangle region address the issue of higher density development. Three case studies examine how planning processes have wrestled with higher density development and provide examples of policies and measures that can encourage more compact development. Special consideration is given to how not-for-profit groups participating in these processes were able to advocate for higher density development, and why certain development management solutions to encourage higher densities gained favor in the region. Five strategies for encouraging higher density development are offered.
