Canada is larger in area than the US with about 1/10 the population, but housing seems far more clustered and compact than where I live.

We (Canadians) have British roots that were maintained longer than the US. Think of Boston or New York, but the model continuing into the early 1900's. Old duplexes, etc.
The US adopted a model that involved subdivisions, etc. More population could support the larger lots (roads, police, fire departments).
