14. How can medium-density housing transform our urban landscape?

For DAG, medium-density housing should be used as a tool for transformation: to move the formerly dispossessed back onto well-located land, to help prevent dispossession through the ongoing gentrification of urban renewal areas, to integrate historically ‘white’ suburbs and to stimulate commerce in historically disadvantaged areas. Vacant and under-utilised inner-city and other well-located sites should be used to integrate and transform the urban environment, and therefore improve the social and economic situations of city-dwellers.
