1. The difference between overcrowded, scattered, and planned development

lies in their organization and density.

2. Overcrowded areas are characterized by high-density development without

Scattered Developing
Pattern proper planning, leading to congestion and lack of infrastructure.

3. Scattered development, on the other hand, refers to dispersed, unorganized

growth patterns with buildings spread out across a larger area.

4. In contrast, planned development involves systematic and organized growth

Planned Area with clear layouts and infrastructure planning.

ANALYSIS 76% of area comprises of built up area.

24% of area tends to be open land.

Unplanned Area
(Over Crowded Area)
A high density region is observed in south east region of the area due to commercial based

2. Overcrowded Development: On a figure-ground map, overcrowded
areas will appear densely packed with buildings, leaving minimal open
spaces.

3. The map may show a lack of green areas and a high

concentration of structures, indicating a crowded urban
environment.
