Planning for Tall Buildings (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In drawing together the experiences of seven varied cities, this book contributes to the ongoing debate about the role of the tall building in our cities, their potential impacts and the experiences of those who use and inhabit them. The conclusions outline how cities should approach the strategic planning of tall buildings, as well as how they should deal with the consequences of individual buildings, particularly on the built heritage.
