In its research paper, ‘The Density Dividend: solutions for growing and shrinking cities’, the Urban Land Institute (ULI) examines the tactical issues involved with the boosting of population density.

In Birmingham, ULI highlights the Birmingham Enterprise Zone as a very effective example of building higher in city centres.
