A behavioural approach to design of high-density housing Srivastava, Mohit
Abstract
The basic intention of this study is to show that the research findings in the field of restorative environments can be used in the design of high-density housing to develop healthy living environments. This study explores the possibility that providing public, semi-public and private landscaped open spaces in and around the dwelling units, can improve the living conditions in a low-rise, high-density housing design. It is primarily concerned with the relationship which people in the high-density settings have with their outdoor environment and explores the possibilities of design and management of the nearby natural area in ways that are beneficial for people and appreciated by them. The study uses the literature on restorative benefits of nature and housing to develop criteria for the design and management of housings at high densities and illustrates the significance and implementation of the design criteria through comparative analysis of the existing and the proposed housing design.

low-rise, high-density housing design. It is primarily concerned

of design and management of the nearby natural area in ways that
are beneficial for people and appreciated by them. The study uses
the literature on restorative benefits of nature and housing to
develop criteria for the design and management of housings at
high densities and illustrates the significance and implementation
of the design criteria through comparative analysis of the existing
