The past decade has witnessed the development of a small but rapidly growing body of literature that has a high degree of relevance and potential applicability to residential environments. It should be possible to use much of this information for the purposes of (1) reducing or eliminating the consequences of life in high density settings and (2) altering or designing environments that facilitate positive experiences of their residents rather than causing these residents difficulties that they have to overcome.
