Ideas for New Information and Sources

I would like to update this entire page by inserting cited and more complete information, starting with the definition. The source I would like to use is a peer-reviewed academic paper:

Jean Hillier, Oren Yiftachel & Michael Betham (1991) Urban Consolidation- An Introduction to the Debate, Urban Policy and Research, 9:2, 78-81, DOI:10.1080/08111149108551461

I believe this article provides a much better overview of urban consolidation, and even explains why finding an exact definition remains difficult.

After the definition, I would like to add a few lines with a source which explains why urban consolidation is becoming more widespread and well known (by looking at a city in Australia):

Kristian J. Ruming, Urban consolidation, strategic planning and community opposition in Sydney, Australia: Unpacking policy knowledge and public perceptions, Land Use Policy, Volume 39, July 2014, Pages 254-265, ISSN 0264-8377.

These are the two changes that I would like to begin with. I will continue to research and look for sources that provide unbiased information, however I have noticed that almost all case studies are done in Australia due to its potential to benefit from urban consolidation; but, this article is not about Australia, so I would like to avoid referring specifically to the country too many times.

Further Potential Sources:

B J Shaw, D S Houghton. (1991) Urban Consolidation: Beyond the Rhetoric. Urban Policy and Research 9:2, pages 85-91.

Rachael Fitzpatrick, David Wadley. (2013) The Relation of Dwelling Structure and Dwelling Density in Australian Cities. Urban Policy and Research 31:3, pages 343-366.

Neil Dunse, Sotirios Thanos, Glen Bramley. (2013) Planning policy, housing density and consumer preferences. Journal of Property Research 30:3, pages 221-238.

"Limits"

The "limits" section is a poorly sourced garbled mess written from a car centric North American "but that can't possibly work" perspective. There may indeed be limits up "growing inward, not outward" but the section on that in this article is... Bad. Hobbitschuster (talk) 01:02, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
