low-density
Not tightly packed
Low-density describes something with relatively little mass or few units packed into a given space.
In physics and materials science, it refers to substances where particles are spread far apart: low-density foam, low-density lipoprotein.
In urban planning, low-density development means fewer buildings or people per acre—suburban sprawl rather than downtown towers.
The term implies spaciousness or thinness compared to alternatives.
