Metrics and Parameters for Shared Social Spaces
Description Positive social trust and connection are essential for human health and happiness. Research suggests that the design of social spaces in multi-unit housing can influence these outcomes. However, housing providers require clear metrics to guide discussions with designers and policy makers about the quality and quantity of spaces for social wellbeing in housing design. Impact Creating metrics and parameters for shared social spaces will facilitate building designs and reviews that will advance social trust and connection in multi-family housing projects.
