Question

what is compact effect

Answer 1

“The Effects of Compact Urban Form” is prepared for the Coalition for Urban Transitions – a major initiative supporting decision makers to improve the performance of their cities, including reducing climate change risks. It stems from a need for cities to develop policy interventions that redress the negative impacts of compactness, meanwhile retaining the benefits to deliver “healthier and greener cities” (page 3). It is important to note, however, that a significant proportion of its literature base presents empirical experience from the US and Europe. And while there is little disagreement that the benefits of compact urban form outweigh the costs in developed nations, there is significant debate about compactness and density in developing nations, where higher density intensifies health risks associated with poor or lacking infrastructure and housing (pages 5 and 16).
