Conservation subdivision is a design concept used by landscape architects and other built environment professionals to conserve wildlife habitat within growing communities. The idea is by clustering homes together to maximize open space, one can conserve urban biodiversity. It is a popular concept used by many planners and landscape architects and is used in many municipalities as an alternative to conventional urban development. In this review paper, we systematically review Randall Arendt’s…

Conservation Value of Clustered Housing Developments
TLDR
Both types of housing development had significantly higher densities of non-native and human-commensal species and significantly lower densities than undeveloped areas and more rigorous ecological guidelines and planning on a regional scale may help create clustered developments with higher conservation value.
