Vertical Cities explores how skyscrapers can evolve into self-sufficient ecosystems, transforming urban living through sustainable urban development. The book argues that integrating residential spaces, workplaces, and green environments into high-rise buildings is crucial for accommodating growing populations while minimizing our environmental impact. It highlights the potential of vertical farms and mixed-use environments, suggesting that skyscrapers can become more than just commercial monuments. The book delves into integrating sustainable technologies like renewable energy and efficient waste management into architectural design. It examines creating functional, mixed-use spaces and fostering community within vertical structures. Drawing from architectural plans, environmental assessments, and sociological studies, Vertical Cities analyzes existing and proposed projects, acknowledging both successes and challenges. Structured in three parts, the book introduces the concept of vertical cities, examines key elements of self-sufficiency, and explores the social dimensions of vertical communities. This approach makes it valuable for architects, urban planners, and anyone interested in the future of architecture and environmental sustainability.

Each century has its own unique approach toward addressing the problem of high density and the 21st century is no exception. As cities try to cope with rapid population growth - adding 2.5 billion dwellers by 2050 - and grapple with destructive sprawl, politicians, planners and architects have become increasingly interested in the vertical city paradigm. Unfortunately, cities all over the world are grossly unprepared for integrating tall buildings, as these buildings may aggravate multidimensional sustainability challenges resulting in a “vertical sprawl” that could have worse consequences than “horizontal” sprawl. By using extensive data and numerous illustrations this book provides a comprehensive guide to the successful and sustainable integration of tall buildings into cities. A new crop of skyscrapers that employ passive design strategies, green technologies, energy-saving systems and innovative renewable energy offers significant architectural improvements. At the urban scale, the book argues that planners must integrate tall buildings with efficient mass transit, walkable neighbourhoods, cycling networks, vibrant mixed-use activities, iconic transit stations, attractive plazas, well-landscaped streets, spacious parks and engaging public art. Particularly, it proposes the Tall Building and Transit Oriented Development (TB-TOD) model as one of the sustainable options for large cities going forward. Building on the work of leaders in the fields of ecological and sustainable design, this book will open readers’ eyes to a wider range of possibilities for utilizing green, resilient, smart, and sustainable features in architecture and urban planning projects. The 20 chapters offer comprehensive reading for all those interested in the planning, design, and construction of sustainable cities.

Cities on the Move presented "the dynamic and highly creative situation of contemporary urban visual culture in East Asia" in the context of the unprecedented growth of cities in the region. The exhibition curators Hou Hanru and Hans Ulbrecht Obrist chose cities as a site to explore themes of modernisation such as consumerism, monumental architecture, traffic congestion, privacy and public space, and competitive urbanism. Over two years and across seven locations, the exhibition's curators and artists experimented with different strategies to respond to the unfolding sociocultural, economic, and political crises in Asia. In each setting, the project took on various forms through new commissions, artists, groupings and themes. The exhibition toured to various locations from 1997 to 1999, presenting the cultural impact of East Asia's rapid urban development in the late twentieth century through a mix of visual art, architecture, and film. The exhibition opened in 1997 at the Vienna Secession in Austria, and then traveled in various forms to MoMA PS1, New York; CAPC Musée d'art contemporain de Bordeaux; the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark; Hayward Gallery, London; Bangkok; and Kiasma, Helsinki. Overall, it involved more than 150 architects, artists, filmmakers, and designers. According to Asia Art Archive, Cities on the Move was "a landmark event in contemporary exhibition-making for its extensive use of urbanism theories, its strong involvement of architects, and its attempt to recreate an ever-evolving city within an exhibition space", which included a continuous programme of performances, screenings, and discussions during the exhibition period.

Asia is undergoing a dramatic and rapid urbanization. Across the continent, there is unrelenting, large-scale migration from the countryside to the cities. Asian cities are getting denser and growing taller at a scale and intensity without historical precedent, and existing urban architectural and planning models struggle to accommodate the increased population. To continue recycling these models in the face of this challenge will lead to devastating effects on land, infrastructure, and the environment. The Vertical Cities Asia International Design Competition and Symposium was created to encourage design explorations and research into the prospects of new architectural and planning models for the increasingly vertical, dense and intense urban environments of Asia. The theme of the inaugural edition of the programme is "Everyone Needs Fresh Air," which is of particular relevance for the congested post-SARS cities of Asia where urban sprawl, traffic and environmental pollution threaten the prospects of biodiversity, greenry, liveability and general well-being of the inhabitants. This publication brings together the spectrum of innovative design and theoretical approaches proposed by the participating universities: The Chinese University of Hong Kong, ETH Zurich, National University of Singapore, Tongji University, Tokyo University, Tsinghua University, TU Delft, University of California Berkeley, University of Michigan, and University of Pennsylvania.

Over the past few decades the population has grown exponentially on a global level; this growth is not temporary, it is set to continue for years to come. Due to this unprecedented global population growth, many aspects of everyday life, specifically with relation to housing, have been and will continue to be altered to fit the growing needs of society. This densification of the city of the future can create diminished open space and increase background and static activity, which in turn will create the opposite of a healthy living environment. Using illustrated case studies on Pier 2, Dubai Nhabitat, and the Kowloon Walled City, cities and housing along with mental and physical health problems associated with vertically dense living will be explored. With these explorations this paper will propose ideas for the future of housing within vertically dense urban living environments.
