This study delves into the potential of traditional low-rise dense typologies compared to contemporary high-rise dense typologies as a viable solution for post-COVID-19 housing planning and design. Such typologies are characterized by their horizontal stratification and distribution of courtyards through them, which offers a promising avenue for fair distribution of populations and avoiding crowded points in urban housing in most cases. The study seeks to elucidate the advantages, challenges, and applicability of low-rise dense typologies for self-sufficiency, managing densities, avoiding crowdies, isolation, Quarantine, and encouraging stay-at-home by examining factors such as spatial organization and community integration, through empirical data collection in Nablus city. The study's main finding was presented in the form of designing guidelines for future housing in Palestine, which can be generalized in many similar urban environments.
