While cities throughout the world are becoming increasingly inefficient in their management of space, personal land use is also increasing dramatically; in the Netherlands for instance, it is now roughly twelve times what it was a century ago, and this development is expected to continue worldwide. We must therefore build in greater densities. In his architectural practice and as a professor at Delft University of Technology, Rudy Uytenhaak conducted a study into the densities of the built environment and into ways of offering sufficient spatial compensation for the achieved density. His research led him to formulate a number of specific measures and proposals. Cities Full of Space describes the results of this study and features a great many projects illustrating the quest for ideal plans and sections in residential buildings. Uytenhaak draws on examples from his own work as well as from that of other architects.
