in-fill development

    0.01 sec.
in-fill development

Property development within the boundaries of an area rather than moving outward and contributing to sprawl.The concept carries with it connotations of demolition of older buildings in order to make way for new construction,usually with a greater height and/or increased densities, rather than simply finally getting around to developing vacant land. In-fill development generally takes place in older neighborhoods outside the central business district but inside the ring of modern suburbs.
