developable

Able to grow

Developable describes something capable of being developed.

Land that is developable can be built upon: The city has little developable acreage left.

In mathematics, a developable surface is one that can be flattened onto a plane without stretching or distortion—a cone or cylinder, but not a sphere.

Film that is developable can be chemically processed to reveal images.
