Urban development is a process, objective of which is upgrading quality of life by providing required facilities for a favorite life. Such that a city resident feels pleasure and tranquility as well as hope, in an urban environment. It seems that by studying and recognizing recoverable lands inside the developed area like vacant and unused lands, we can take maximum advantages of infill development as well as preventing unplanned and horizontal extension. The main purpose of the present study is explanation of principals, methods and strategies of infill development and efficiency assessment in conduction of this kind of development in Dogonbadan city. Findings of the present research indicate that encouraging infill development and supporting it’s conduction against Greenfield development will have valuable results like decreasing cost of developing and maintenance of urban infrastructures, creation of visual beauty in city spaces by creating connection and adherence of adjacent structures. In addition to, a better delivery of a city services in a centralized way.
