Compact City Model

The Compact City Model is an urban planning approach that promotes developing dense, mixed-use areas where homes, workplaces, shops, and amenities are close together. This design encourages walking, cycling, and public transport over driving, reducing traffic congestion and environmental impact. It aims to create vibrant, sustainable communities with efficient land use, conserving open spaces and minimizing urban sprawl. By concentrating development, the model enhances accessibility and community interaction, supporting economic vitality and ecological health.
