"Compact Cities" addresses the pressing issue of urban sprawl by advocating for high-density, sustainable urban environments. It challenges the assumption that sprawling suburbs are the ideal living environment, presenting compact urban design as a pathway to resource optimization and reduced ecological footprint. The book explores how well-planned compact cities can minimize environmental damage and foster vibrant, livable communities.

Intriguing facts include how urban sprawl contributes to climate change and the social isolation experienced by car-dependent populations. The book examines the evolution of urban planning, highlighting the environmental and social consequences of low-density development. It emphasizes the need for integrated approaches to urban planning and offers case studies of successful compact cities worldwide.

These examples showcase the integration of green spaces, efficient public transportation, and mixed-use developments that promote walkability and social interaction. The book progresses from fundamental concepts to detailed analyses, culminating in a framework for implementing compact urban development in diverse contexts.
