As cities continue to grow and diversify, urban planners, and architects face the
challenge of creating housing solutions that can flexibly respond to many demands
and changes over time. This rapid change in the urban landscape necessitates adaptable
housing design typologies to meet the evolving needs of urban residents. Several residential
building, typologies have emerged with the intent of solving the problems arising
from overpopulation. This paper aims to shed light on the importance of adaptability
in urban housing design and its potential to enhance urban living environments. It
reviews adaptability through various urban housing typologies, exploring the concept,
its significance, and strategies that can be employed to achieve adaptable dense housing
