The DenCity project, led by Professor Colin McFarlane, examined density and its relationship to the city. It looked at different cases of high density living and politics in cities, from homes and neighbourhoods to transport networks and public spaces and explored how density is experienced and politicised by different actors in the city, with a particular focus on how residents themselves encounter different kinds of density. The project sought to develop a better understanding of the nature, role and potential of density in the city now and into the urban future. DenCity has involved research across the world in very different urban contexts, including London, Dar es Salaam, Manila, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Mumbai, and other cities.
