The growth in the given solution is horizontal growth.

Explanation:

Horizontal growth model is the one which involves expansion of urban cover which includes converting the forest landscapes and other components of the environment which has a positive effect on the life and health of the individuals into buildings and commercial spaces for the purpose of growth.
