Defensible Space authors explored ways to make public housing more comfortable for residents. As a radio news reporter in the 1970's, we experimented with some of the concepts @ Danville's Fair Oaks Housing Development with a measure of success.
Defensible Space authors discovered that lower rise residential buildings provided a better quality of life for residents & that softening the lines between public & private spaces invited public housing residents to take ownership of public space outside their front doors.
The little things can make a big difference in improving the lives of public housing residents.
