This book investigates the complex relationship between compact urban form, density, and sustainability, exploring how these elements correlate and can be holistically approached. It examines the challenges and opportunities presented by increasing urban density, drawing on case studies and theoretical frameworks from various global regions, particularly focusing on the Asian and Pacific region and Australia. The authors and contributors delve into the quality of living, social dimensions, resource management, and design systems that are crucial for creating resilient and sustainable high-density urban environments.
The collection of essays in 'Growing Compact' offers a multifaceted examination of urban density and its implications for sustainability.
