As Arizona Grows, High-Quality Density Must Be a Top Priority for Developers
While growth in the Phoenix area isn’t new, recent years have seen a renewed emphasis on increasing density in some Valley cities. Jon Talton, a fourth-generation Arizonan who has witnessed the significant growth of the Phoenix metro area, argues that high-quality density should be a central focus in the region’s housing development plans. He asserts that prioritizing well-designed, higher-density projects can more effectively address housing needs and support sustainable growth. Talton points out that this strategy can enhance urban amenities, improve transportation options, and cultivate vibrant communities. By emphasizing quality and density, Phoenix can better manage its expansion and build more resilient, livable urban spaces.
