Authors Robert Dalziel and Sheila Qureshi search the world for what they consider to be the most successful types of housing for urban living – from old to new, high rise to low rise, innovative to conventional. Their key requirements for city living are: adaptability and flexibility, construction and sustainability, space and light, appearance and threshold, and density and urban form. The authors use their investigations and insights to propose a new form of an urban family home that can easily adapt to changing needs.
