Abstract

With the continuous development of social modernization, the requirements for urban land resources become increasingly urgent. Considering that there is no specific measurement of the compactness of urban spatial form, this paper set up a new model, which graphically defines the concept of population layers to simulate the average height of the city. In this way, when the urban population grows, the city will ease the pressure on land resources by increasing the height rather than outward expansion. This is an idealized model, but it can be used to evaluate the urban compactness efficiently to a certain extent.
