Sprawl vs. density
• 10-20 persons/ha• Public transport is NOT viable• Walking and bicycle are not
attractive• Requires MUCH land and
energy
• 360 persons/ha• Public transport is viable• Encourages walking• Requires less land and
energy

TransportUN-Habitat recommends: at least 150 persons/ha– Typical for
European inner city areas
– Main reason: Makes public transport feasible (shorter distances are of less importance)

Transport
• USA’s 125 largest cities: Doubling density
• Household travel CO2 emissions down by 48%• Residential energy consumption down by
35%• Household travel and residential energy
account for 42% of total U.S. CO2 emissions…

• That’s a small apartment!• Encourage car pools!

What do people want?
• Access to restaurants, commerce, culture, etc.– Depends on

Other social and economic aspects
• People in denser areas walk more and are less overweight
• Density means lower costs for infrastructure• Density counteracts social segregation
– Proximity– Mix
