Depends what barriers
Increasing desnisty? Sure, remove them
Increasing area? Nope
- mikrl 2y agoWhy not both? If you constrain area, you only have one dimension to expand in to maintain density: height. Not that I have anything against high rises, but they aren’t suitable for every person or geography.
- ta1243 2y agoBecause when you don't maintain a given density then you lose all the benefits of a city and just have suburban sprawl
