    Join ULI NWA as we hear from Dr. Carl Smith and Dr. Noah Billig, Associate Professors at the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design at the University of Arkansas. Since 2012, Drs. Smith and Billig have conducted research surveying Northwest Arkansans’ preferences for private amenities and the trade-offs associated with various development types. During their presentation, they will share key findings and implications for future development and research, including:
    • The impact to multi-family residential developments generated by walkable access to communal green spaces, transit, and daily services.
    • The measure to which outdoor amenities and open spaces serve as social and physical determinants of health to residents, made especially apparent during the COVID-19 era.
    • Evidence supporting infill and adaptive reuse as a greater share of new development.
    • The impact of anchoring bias on residential choice –– that residents tend to prefer neighborhoods like the ones they have lived in and know.
    • The importance of regional exemplars of exceptional compact development, and the subsequent impact to preference by consumers who regularly experience them.
    • Future research opportunities to examine the malleability of residential preference as it relates to new patterns of development.
