Jan Gehl has spent 30 years in evaluative research on the psychology and
sociology of medium density housing design (or the lack of design)
throughouut the western world- including California and Canada. His work
focuses on collaborative/cooperative/cohousing approaches.

I attended a year long series of seminars with Gehl- it appears that his
research indicates that a lot of medium density  and the surrounding
community design concepts in North America are lacking in a variety of ways. 

By all means check many sources for info - never just rely on one source -
check out Gehl - he is a master at what he does!

He can be reached at the School of Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy
of Fine Arts in Copenhagen Denmark.
