Abstract
This paper aims to examine the differences of residential environment between compact cities and none compact cities. Compact cities' built-up areas are inclined to be higher accumulated of population compared to none compact cities', and these highly accumulation might harm residential environment. Through the examination, we merely found the noticeable differences of residential environment, especially housing standards, between compact cities and none compact cities. One of the reasons for this result is that the compact cities' detached housing size, especially site and built area, is less uneven compared to that of none compact cities. This shows the similarity of each size of detached houses is one of the elements that the compact cities have.
