While the west often favors low-density low-rise communities based on the small-town model (and parts of Asia Pacific pine for such story-book living), most of the region's designers and planners are faced with providing housing and communities for very large numbers in a truncated design window. What models and paradigms are appropriate in Asia Pacific? Has the Corbusian vision found a home elsewhere other than Hong Kong?

Papers are invited which explore case studies and new solutions to these problems of rapidity and quantity, while providing for advancing levels of livability and affordability. Typological studies, site-specific solutions for bypassed difficult sites, schemes that advance the potential for flexibility and alternative uses will be welcomed.
