Don't just focus on building more, make sure the center moves to the edge of agglomerations or to entirely new locations. Instead of more and more people fighting for a small expensive place close to the center, make sure there are new centers.

Why is this preferable to densifying existing cities?

It is not about building or not building or densifying or not, it is about seeing this trend where villages and cities and entire states and countries are sucked empty by the few most successful centers, where things get extremely crowded and expensive, which is not the optimal outcome.

I described that earlier.

Outer edges often need densifying but generally densifying is much slower, the building process is more expensive, it happens on more expensive land, it makes land even more expensive (the paradox: more supply, higher prices) you get more traffic, air pollution, noise, less gardens and green spaces.
