Many regenerative communities incorporate accessory dwelling units (ADUs) — secondary dwellings on the same lot or building cluster as a primary residence. ADUs can house extended family members, visiting workers, Pangea Academy students, or provide rental income. They are an efficient way to increase housing density without large apartment buildings.
Graduated density is a design approach that places higher-density housing (attached units, multi-family buildings) closest to community shared spaces and employment, and lower-density housing (detached dwellings with more private land) at the periphery of the community. This matches housing density to infrastructure capacity and social preference simultaneously.
