Development Plans of Townhouses in the European Context

The aim of this report is to offer a comprehensive picture of townhouse development plans in the European context, using the examples of Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom. A townhouse is a type of higher urban family house with multiple living rooms, usually with three or more floors. The height significantly exceeds the width of the house. Due to common building structures and technical and spatial solutions, such as shared parking, waste management, etc., it is more of a hybrid typology. That is, a combination of individual housing and an apartment building. From an urban point of view, townhouses are a type of urban housing, especially as an example of low-rise buildings with high residential density with a strong link to public space. An overall evaluation of foreign examples of development plans will demonstrate how current townhouses are implemented in the urban structure. This is in terms of character of development, open space and transportation.
