sprawlers

Limbs everywhere loungers

Those who sprawl—spreading limbs loosely or lying with arms and legs extended.

The term applies to people lounging carelessly across furniture or floors: The sprawlers on the couch left no room for anyone else.

It can describe urban development that spreads outward without planning, though "sprawl" itself more commonly carries that meaning.
