Can high-rises make a fruitful contribution to making cities more sustainable? Many argue that high-rises deliver positive enviornmental effects, such as densification, and reduction of traffic and CO2 emissions. But is it really that simple? On closer critical observation many questions arise and are explored in this book. What is the impact of tall buildings on their environment? What are ideal densities? What makes a tall building a scuess?
