Selecting an efficient, mixed?use location for a project has many advantages, but also comes with potential risks. New development has the possibility of raising the cost of living, potentially pricing out people who live there. This risk is especially concerning for disadvantaged communities — groups of people who have been systematically denied a full opportunity to participate in aspects of economic, social, and civic life.
为项目选择高效的混合用途区位具备诸多优势,但同时也存在潜在风险。新建开发项目可能抬高生活成本,导致原有居民因负担不起而被迫迁出。该风险对
弱势社区影响尤为突出,弱势社区指在经济、社会及公共生活层面,被系统性剥夺平等参与机会的人群聚居区。
Green Building Strategies
绿色建筑策略
Green building strategies reduce the risk of displacing local residents by ensuring new projects are inclusive and equitable. A major way that residential projects can achieve this goal is by including affordable housing units that are set aside for those whose incomes are low when compared with the incomes of most others in the surrounding area. Ideally, project teams engage local nonprofits and government agencies early in the discovery process to understand community needs

Project teams can amplify the benefits of affordable housing by providing:
项目团队可通过以下方式扩大经济适用住房的社会效益:
? Publicly accessible spaces, like community kitchens
- 公共开放空间,例如社区厨房
? Free or low?cost services, such as legal or tax assistance
- 免费或低价服务,例如法务、税务协助
? Space where local agencies can provide necessities like childcare or medical treatment
- 可供当地机构提供育儿、医疗等基础民生服务的场地
School projects have a unique opportunity to meet multiple needs because they are often centrally located, and their gathering and learning spaces are regularly vacant. Schools and some other project types can support the whole community by allowing after?hours use of amenities (like a gymnasium or auditorium) or by dedicating spaces to serve the public (like a dental clinic or a social services agency).
学校类项目具备满足多元需求的独特优势:通常地处核心区域,集会与教学空间存在闲置时段。学校及部分其他类型项目可通过
课后开放配套设施(如体育馆、礼堂)、或专门划拨公共服务空间(如牙科诊所、社会服务机构),服务整个社区。
