Imagining neighborhood change — a process that normally can take five, ten or even twenty years — is a difficult thing to do. However, using digital images to simulate change can help illustrate how well designed development can help improve the livability of a neighborhood, while adding new homes and apartments for our growing population.
Below is an image of a typical low-density area, with single-story buildings, surface parking lots, and wide streets for cars. Watch how the area is transformed into a pedestrian-friendly urban village through the addition of some multi-story buildings and streetscaping.
While the above example is a simulation, there are many examples of new affordable housing developments in Southern California that have helped to create more affordable places to live — while improving the local neighborhood as well.
