This policy brief discusses the benefits of enhancing urban concentration which involves maximizing existing urban spaces through density intensification or mixed-use, compact pattern development. This can promote economies of agglomeration, contain urban sprawl, and improve urban resilience. The policy brief suggests that the principles of urban concentration should be reflected in the proposed National Land Use Act (NaLUA), which aims to optimize the use of land and balance economic, environmental, and social development objectives. The brief provides a concise overview of the hierarchy of settlements or the spatial distribution of the population and highlights the benefits of adopting a policy that facilitates the concentration of urban growth and development in existing settlement areas. It also points out components of a concentration policy that would address issues on urban capacity, urban efficiency and connectivity, and urban resilience. Overall, enhancing urban concentration ultimately seeks to enhance the potential of urban growth to create more jobs and reduce poverty, without compromising national food security and environmental integrity.
