The study
is based on the special identity of suburbia and the desirable
qualities of suburban life to which residents aspire. These qualities,
which are consistently seen as positive by residents and house
buyers, cover a range of suburban characteristics
A key objective of the study is to demonstrate that higher densities
can reconcile private aspirations with the communal benefits that
higher densities yield.
