Assemblage: The process of combining two or more adjacent parcels of land into one larger parcel.
Plottage: The increase in value that results from assemblage due to the greater utility or economic use of the combined parcel.
Example: Two small lots may be worth $50,000 each separately, but if assembled into one larger parcel, the combined property may be worth $120,000 due to increased development potential.

I remember studying that assemblage is about combining land, but I'm not sure if plottage is just about value increase or something else.
