Yulia Dewita Cities Research Institute, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia Barbara T.H. Yen Griffith School of Engineering and Built Environment, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Australia Matthew Burke Cities Research Institute, Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia Abstract Urban consolidation has become an urban planning and development paradox. One of its recurrent criticisms relates to housing affordability and the role of planning interventions such as compact city policies. Indonesia has adopted the compact city concept in recent years, but there is little knowledge of density’s effects. This paper examines whether housing and transport affordability is associated with urban compaction in three Indonesian metropolises.
