Madison, Wisconsin, like many cities across the United States, is grappling with a housing crisis that affects residents across the socioeconomic spectrum. One promising solution lies in the development of “missing middle housing,” a term popularized by architect Daniel Parolek to describe a range of multi-unit or clustered housing types that are compatible in scale with single-family homes.
