urban housing

Metropolitan residential buildings

Urban housing refers to residential buildings and living spaces located in cities and densely populated areas.

It encompasses everything from high-rise apartments and condominiums to townhouses, public housing projects, and mixed-use developments.

Urban housing often involves particular challenges around affordability, density, and proximity to services.

The city council debated new urban housing policies to address the shortage of affordable units.
