Development Compactness is a quantitative urban planning construct that characterizes the degree to which built development is concentrated within a given area, distinguished by its emphasis on minimizing urban sprawl through higher population and land-use densities, efficient infrastructure utilization, and spatial co-location of residential, commercial, and institutional functions.
