Spanish term or phrase: agregado
This is an article on the use of spatial metrics for the characterization of urban land use. I know that the easy translation is "aggregated", but I cannot find any reference to this as a type of urban land use pattern. Here is the context:
A continuación se empleará un conjunto de métricas de análisis espacial para valorar procesos de fragmentación, compacidad/elongación y dispersión y aislamiento en tres escenarios futuros simulados para el Área Metropolitana de Granada (España), para finalmente valorar los crecimientos en cada escenario de acuerdo con cuatro patrones de ocupación urbana:*** agregado***, lineal, nodal y en urbanizaciones.

Explanation:
De acuerdo al contexto, creo que este término se acomoda bien. "incorporated" es un patrón de agrupación urbana.

add-on


Explanation:
i.e. through the expansion of existing developments

I think "lineal" may refer to "ribbon development" (spreading along main roads)

By demolishing the ***add-on*** buildings between the Old Fire Station and the rest of the site, the node could be used to its full potential by giving access to the whole site from four streets.

agree  ormiston: actually I prefer your 'expansion'. My agglomeration might sound too vast

agglomeration


Explanation:
I think it is this form of urban development, as opposed to the others (agree with Deborah about ribbon type development later) - i.e. more of a sprawl than the others
