As metropolitan planning organizations struggle to <br />communicate the need for density, they should take note of strategies that make increasing density an attractive <br />choice for neighborhoods and regions. <br />HIDDEN DENSITY IN SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS: Backyard cottages as an equitable smart <br />growth strategy (22 pp.) <br />By Jake Wegmann and Karen Chapple. Journal of Urbanism 7(3): pp. 307-329. (2014) <br />Abstract (not available in full text): Secondary units, or sepa rate small dwellings embedded within single-family <br />residential properties, constitute a frequently overlooked strategy for urban infill in high -cost metropolitan areas in <br />the United States. This study, which is situated within California’s San Francisco Ba y Area, draws upon data <br />collected from a homeowners’ survey and a Rental Market Analysis to provide evidence that a scaled -up strategy <br />emphasizing one type of secondary unit – the backyard cottage – could yield substantial infill growth with minimal <br />public subsidy. In addition, it is found that this strategy compares favorably in terms of affordability with infill of the <br />sort traditionally favored in the ‘smart growth’ literature, i.e. the construction of dense multifamily housing <br />developments. <br />RETHINKING PRIVATE ACCESSORY DWELLINGS (5 pp.) <br />By William P.
