INTESIFICATION
Restoring links between the built environment and nature to provide for human and natural ecosystem needs and wellbeing.
Attempt to reduce people's carbon footprint by providing alternative methods of transportation, energy consumption and diet.
To reach a density of 500 PPH, both the built form and the land use needs to be intesified.
