The expression “low-rise high-density” refers to the ensembles of grouped housing units that maintain characteristics of the individual home, but whose compactness facilitates collective services and amenities, thereby reducing land consumption. These hybrid projects also generate a variety of housing typologies and forms of agglomeration, opening up more sustainable and ecological alternatives.
