Abstract
High Point is an exceptional model of sustainable urbanism, and has been the subject of many studies since its completion. Through the integration of mixed-income housing, the neighbourhood’s vision was to be both environmentally and socially sustainable. Much like other sustainable designs, the neighbourhood was initially regarded only for its environmental achievements. Recently researchers have shifted their attention to include the social manifestations of these designs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the social sustainability of High Point in Seattle, Washington.
