Studies of compact cities have evolved along with the rising awareness of climate change and sustainable development. Relevant debates, however, reveal that the prevailing definitions and practices of compact cities are tied primarily to traditional Western urban forms. This book reinterprets "compact city", and develops a ground-breaking discourse of "Vertical Urbanism", a concept that has never been critically articulated. It emphasizes "Vertical Urbanism" as a dynamic design strategy instead of a static form, distinguishing it from the stereotyped concept of "vertical city" or "towers in the park" dominant in China and elsewhere, and suggests its adaptability to different geographic and cultural contexts. Using Chinese cities as laboratories of investigation, this book explores the design, ecological, and sociocultural dimensions of building compact cities, and addresses important global urban issues through localized design solutions, such as the relationship between density and vitality, the integration of horizontal and vertical dimensions of design, and the ecological and social adaptability of combinatory mega-forms. In addition, through discussions with scholars from the United States, China, and Japan, this book provides an insight into the theoretical debates surrounding "compact city" and "Vertical Urbanism" in the global context. Scholars and students in architecture and urban planning will be attracted by this book. Also, it will appeal to readers with an interest in urban development and Asian studies.

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.

As the world continues to urbanize at an unprecedented rate, cities around the globe are proliferating, expanding, and merging to form a new urban typology - the megacity. Against a backdrop of the world's urban population growing by a million new urban inhabitants every week, cities must cope with the strain of that growth in new and unconventional ways. Unsurprisingly, this has resulted in a host of challenges that must be addressed, including: inadequate infrastructure provision, energy production obstacles, social inequity, pollution, quality of life issues, and a loss of heritage and identity amid unbridled redevelopment. These challenges, which are common around the globe yet magnified in megacities due to their unique circumstances, should be seen as a litmus test for the great ideas of our time and a call to action for bold new paradigms in urban development.This collection of papers was originally presented at the CTBUH 2016 Conference, which took place progressively across Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong. There is perhaps nowhere on the planet that demonstrates the impact of urbanization as markedly as these cities in China's Pearl River Delta. Surpassing Tokyo as the world's largest single continual urban conurbation of 42 million in 2010, the megacity is set to grow to 120 million inhabitants by 2050. In so many ways - physically, culturally, and economically - the three teeming metropolises, and others in the region, are merging into, effectively, one super-linked urban whole, with a network of ultra-connected, modern infrastructure.The publication thus examines the phenomenon of dense vertical urbanism and the technological innovations that are driving new cities, building forms, functions, materials, and construction techniques. Volume I considers the larger economic, social, and urban-scale considerations of megacities and dense vertical urbanism, while Volume II focuses on specific advances in technical subjects, engineering, data modeling, and façade performance, among other topics, that are facilitating today's megacities.

Amidst a global crisis of overpopulation, an increasing number of metropolitan cities are adopting the typology of the skyscraper as a form of remedy. While acknowledging the practicality and benefits provided by vertical buildings in the context of overcrowding, many cities are developing extravagant skylines at an unprecedented rate without ever considering the detrimental effects they induce. Specifically, the patterns of urban growth by which vertical developments embody a construct of hierarchy, entails various conditions of concern which elicit an urgent response that is yet to be made. In the context of this thesis, the detrimental conditions to be confronted are: firstly, that of the hierarchical scale and its delineation of success as an objective construct prescribed by corporations, and secondly, the disparity of spatial qualities and the quality of life entailed at either end of the vertical spectrum. Given hierarchy's propensity to induce predicaments when manifested into physical environments, this thesis seeks architectural precedents as to provide insight in developing a new system of vertical programming that denies the abstraction of a hierarchical scale. Upon the dissection of all the constituents that lead to the development of said predicaments, a critical analysis is carried out on the cases of New York and Hong Kong as these cities have exhibited conditions of potential which could be appropriated to establish the new Template for Non-Hierarchical Vertical Programming.

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.
