The provided text is a transcript from a YouTube lecture by Dan Parolek, an urban designer, architect, and author known for championing “missing middle housing.” Hosted by Ellen Dunham-Jones at Georgia Tech, the lecture introduces TSW, an urban design-focused firm, and then features Parolek discussing innovative housing solutions to address affordability and create walkable urbanism. He presents case studies of his firm Opticos Design’s work, including car-free communities, re-imagined multi-family housing, and public sector zoning reforms aimed at enabling a greater variety of housing types at a human scale. Parolek emphasizes the importance of design thinking, community engagement, and policy changes to combat the housing crisis and promote equitable and sustainable development.
