I’ll be honest, I have no idea what the proper English term is, just translated the phrase used in Russian (точечная застройка). In practice it seems to mean squeezing tall and thin apartment buildings by one-two into a pre-existing area, with little regards to how much it will encumber the infrastructure (i.e. schools or hospitals).
Pinpoint build up? Never heard that term before.

I absolutely see that happening in Canada.
Well the idea most likely was copied from the so-called developed world.
Not surprising.
