Winy Maas Books: Farmax by Winy Maas Farmax proposes compressing a population vertically and horizontally so as to give that population more space. The book argues for a less uniform distribution of density, more mixed-use ‘vertically-stacked’ developments suitable for the Netherlands which apparently has the highest population density in the world.
