Most of the city within the official city boundaries is dense and walkable, but there are some areas that could be more dense. The pictures you see with the mall(s) are on the outskirts of the city and some of the pictures are in Meridian which is a suburb of Boise and is a mix of new growth and farm land which has not been gobbled up yet. During the past decade there has been a lot of infill going on within the city boundaries and there is a big push within City Hall to create more density.
