PUTTING HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENTS AND
HEALTH DATA TO WORK FOR YOUR COMMUNITY
“Housing is a regional thing. New York City housing depends on not just the city but New Jersey, Connecticut, Long Island – we really need to approach things from an MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) to create regional solutions,” said Brian Loughlin, Director of Planning and Urban Design at New York-based Magnusson Architecture and Planning.
“The problems/challenges for everyday people -- transportation, economic, housing – are regional.”
Loughlin said data is proving that affordable housing is located
farther and farther from job centers – creating long commutes, traffic
congestion and a waste of urban core infrastructure in place to serve density.
