Domain-specific¶
- Infill Development
- make the serviced interior the default growth mode by prohibiting outward spread. Metropolitan consolidation strategies — Sydney's and Melbourne's plans set explicit consolidation/infill targets directing a stated share of new housing into established areas. Transit-oriented development — densification clustered around high-frequency stations is largely an infill programme, intensifying nodes rather than extending the footprint. Brownfield redevelopment — returns formerly contaminated industrial parcels to productive use as a major operational subcategory, carrying site-specific remediation conditions. Greyfield redevelopment — re-develops declining commercial sites (obsolescent malls, strip centres) as mixed-use, recovering already-serviced land. Adaptive reuse — repurposes existing structures rather than demolishing them, the kind of infill that keeps the prior building. Missing-middle and gentle-density zoning reform — duplex/triplex/fourplex by-right rules (Minneapolis 2018, Oregon 2019, California ADU rules) operationalise infill at the single-parcel scale.
This sourceDefines the missing-middle housing category and documents by-right duplex/triplex/fourplex zoning reform as its enabling instrument, with the 2018-2019 wave of US reforms as its cases.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
