Urban densification, driven by population growth and the demand for efficient land use, is an inevitable trend in contemporary cities. While densification offers significant advantages, such as minimizing urban sprawl and enhancing access to infrastructure, it also brings forth challenges that impact the quality of life, environmental health, and social cohesion. This paper presents a strategic framework for mitigating the adverse effects of urban densification, focusing on key areas such as mixed-use zones, green infrastructure, public spaces, public transport, and affordable housing. The strategies discussed are contextualized through the case of Bucharest, Romania’s capital, offering practical solutions to ensure balanced, sustainable urban development.
