compact development

Compact development refers to designing neighborhoods and communities with a focus on efficient land use and accessibility. It involves creating higher-density areas with a mix of residential, commercial, and public spaces close together, reducing the need for long trips and encouraging walking, biking, and public transit. This approach helps to preserve open space, reduce urban sprawl, and create vibrant, walkable communities where residents can easily access amenities and services, ultimately promoting sustainability and improving quality of life.
