The compact city is an integrated form of city with high density, mixed uses and intensification of land uses with centralised activities and higher densities. It requires provision of facilities within a walkable distance and an efficient public transport system to reduce the energy consumption and the pollution so created. The cities are expanding in size with their urban boundaries extending outwards. There is a lot of pressure on urban land which due to haphazard development is getting wasted. Compact city is a way to reduce the pressure on land by utilising it to the maximum with higher economic productivity and better environmental quality. This book discusses the various parameters which are used to measure the compactness of a city and its residential areas. Using them, the urban compact form of Jaipur city has been analysed. A comparative assessment has been done on four different residential areas in Jaipur to understand which areas are better compacted. The study is useful in making future planning policies and strategies to maintain the compact character of the city or to make it more compact for the times to come.
