SUMMARY:TOD in Your Downtown: Gentle Density--Unlocking the Missing Middle in Housing
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by NJTOD\, Downtown New Jersey\, and NJ TRANSIT’s Transit Friendly Planning (TFP) Program\, the event will feature a timely discussion on gentle density and missing middle housing in New Jersey. Experts from public agencies\, nonprofit organizations\, and local governments will share their experiences and strategies for expanding diverse housing options while preserving neighborhood character. \nMiddle Housing—ranging from duplexes to buildings with up to 12 units—have been largely sidelined since the mid-20th century\, as zoning regulations prioritized suburban single-family homes or urban high rises. Reintroducing Middle Housing into single-family and transitional neighborhoods offers a practical approach to advancing Gentle Density. \nAs municipalities work to address the state’s housing shortage\, gentle density provides a realistic and context-sensitive solution. This panel will highlight real-world approaches for developing Middle Housing\, the role of public transit in supporting these efforts\, and best practices for creating livable\, affordable\, and sustainable communities. \nRegistration\, Networking & Refreshments at 9:30 AM. Panel at 10:00 AM. \n
