Built-up areas makes up a small fraction of earth's landmass but land where it makes sense for people to live is a very finite resource. People want to live in urban areas or in reasonable distance to them and have access to infrastructure, socialisation, culture, employment etc.
Today capitalist development squanders that land on building bullshit "luxury apartments" or McMansions, thereby creating a housing crisis. A reasonable society would have used that land to build housing for ordinary people.
