Vertical City

Vertical City - Advantages


  • People can live and work in the same building
  • Cars become redundant
  • Creates less sprawl
Disadvantages

  • 200+ floor superstructure ideal? Needed (warranted) for a city the size of Brisbane? Australian context (small population)?
  • Expensive
  • Conceptualised with much larger cities in mind (ie Tokyo, Shanghai)
Smaller Scale Vertical City

  • Building system/structure that can start off small and be rearranged/expanded over time, growing like a regular city.
