Residential intensification is the process of increasing the overall number of residential units in a given area. It can involve reusing, expanding, or redeveloping existing buildings, land, or areas. The process of residential intensification should manage the impact that denser development has on existing houses, while optimising the success of the future neighbourhood.

Housing offered at a below market price, whether this be rent (e.g. public housing, community housing, private rental housing) or home ownership. Affordable housing is targeted at very low-to moderate-income households and is priced to be affordable to them. Usually this means that housing costs should not exceed 30 per cent of gross household income.
