Improving and evaluation of development plans is an essential to ensure a better planning and design practice. Compact city development is an urban design and planning concept that is noted to be very useful to ensure sustainability and overcome environmental, economic and social problems caused by urban sprawl.

This study intends to improve and advance the process and methodology of assessing compact city development taking benefit from the new emerging concept of GeoDesign.
