But homes always get built in the same places leading to more overcrowding, more over demand in that area, pressure on infrastructure.

Could spread the building out more, instead of (figures out of imagination) 1,000 new houses in one place, build 10 new houses in 100 smaller places. Spreads load, provide homes for "locals". Down side is these are spread out where jobs aren't but many towns are becoming more dormitory areas anyway with people working elsewhere and just sleeping in the houses.

And look at some of the builds, 5 bed houses with little or no garden.
