You don't need to build tall to increase density.

Areas of Tokyo like Setagaya have population densities in excess of 14000 residents per square kilometer. There are few tall buildings; it is largely single-family homes.

Vancouver proper only has a density around 5000 residents per square kilometer. There's plenty of land to infill with housing without building tall.
