infill development
Building between buildings
Infill development is construction on vacant or underutilized land within an already built-up area, rather than expanding outward into undeveloped territory.
Cities encourage infill to increase density, reduce sprawl, and make better use of existing infrastructure: The old parking lot became an infill development with thirty townhouses.
Often shortened to infill.
