Abstract
In this chapter we will address the planning and design of multifamily or attached housing in the context of its suburban setting. This will include multifamily of a density that would be compatible with single detached homes, such as the townhouses and garden units found in traditional towns and contemporary planned communities. The discussion will be limited to walk-ups, meaning buildings without elevators that are two to three stories in height and can be built at densities up to around 20 units per acre.
