Urban housing addresses how people live in dense cities, where land is scarce and households vary widely in size and income. Designers working in this area balance density with daylight, privacy, and access to outdoor space. The field spans new multifamily blocks, infill projects on leftover plots, and the reuse of narrow or irregular buildings.

Members here share projects that test these constraints, from stacked balconies and green screens in Surat to compact multifamily schemes in Mendoza and Murcia. The work also includes small-footprint houses such as tube-form homes in Vietnam and modular residential complexes, showing a range of strategies for layering living space within limited urban footprints.
