The City Design Center identified projects through nominations by the City Design Center team and an advisory committee of national experts, and through an open call for entries. To be considered for the catalog, projects were required to:

   · Be affordable to people who, because of their
     limited income, cannot afford market-rate housing;
   · Provide permanent housing for independent living;
   · Be located in the United States;
   · Have been completed between 1980 and 2000;
   · Illustrate one or more specified design objectives.

Architects, developers, and other affordable housing producers from across the United States submitted approximately 275 projects in response to the call. The City Design Center team and the advisory committee reviewed the project information submitted by the project's developer, architect and/or other parties involved in its production. Seventy-five projects were selected from this pool for the catalog.
