The Cascade Parc Community project is an affordable housing subdivision development in Jefferson County, AL. The designs for the development are a collaboration between the Greater Birmingham Habitat for Humanity affiliate and Auburn University faculty, students, Urban Studio, and the DESIGNhabitat team. The development consists of cottage style housing, an alternative zoning system that allows for a higher density of housing within a single family home neighborhood. Small one and two bedroom home clusters share a common green space, managed by a homeowners association.
