Growing Compact: Urban Form, Density and Sustainability explores and unravels the phenomena, links and benefits between density, compactness and the sustainability of cities. It looks at the socio-climatic implications of density and takes a more holistic approach to sustainable urbanism by understanding the correlations between the social, economic and environmental dimensions of the city, and the challenges and opportunities with density. The book presents contributions from internationally well-known scholars, thinkers and practitioners whose theoretical and practical works address city planning, urban and architectural design for density and sustainability at various levels, including challenges in building resilience against climate change and natural disasters, capacity and integration for growth and adaptability, ageing, community and security, vegetation, food production, compact resource systems and regeneration.

It is widely assumed that the ¿dense vertical city¿ is more sustainable than the ¿dispersed horizontal city.¿ This concept has certainly been a large factor in the unprecedented increase in the construction of tall buildings globally over the last few decades, especially in the developing world. The concentration of people in denser cities ¿ sharing space, infrastructure, and facilities ¿ is typically thought to offer much greater energy efficiency than the expanded horizontal city, which requires more land use, as well as a higher energy expenditure in infrastructure and mobility.Though this belief in the sustainability benefits of `dense¿ versus `dispersed¿ living is driving the development of cities worldwide, the principle has rarely been examined at a detailed, quantitative level. Studies to date have been mostly based on large data sets of generalized data regarding urban-scale energy consumption, or large-scale transport patterns. Crucially, there are very few studies that also consider a ¿quality of life¿ aspect to urban vs. suburban living, in addition to differences in energy use patterns.Chicago, subject city of the research, is uniquely positioned for a study exploring density vs. sprawl from a sustainability point of view. The birthplace of, and center for innovation in tall buildings, Chicago also has an ever-growing suburban area that is typical of most US cities. And yet, again in line with many other cities around the world over the past decade or two, it has seen suburban growth alongside densification of its downtown area and a resurgence of people seeking high-rise urban living.This research report offers a quantitative evaluation of long-held assumptions, and with sometimes surprising results. The ground-breaking study quantitatively investigates and compares the sustainability of people¿s lifestyles in both urban and suburban areas from environmental and social perspectives, using detailed information directly collected from households and best available data from public resources. It fills significant research gaps in our knowledge of the sustainability of urban density compared to suburban sprawl. This is an indispensable resource for policy makers, developers, urban planners, architects, utilities, and anyone else with a stake in shaping the future of the built environment.

The new housing developments of Shanghai rely on high-rise building, demolishing the prevailing low-rise high-density housing, known as Lilong housing, built in the early 20th century, and known as Lilong housing. The high-rise building, a symbol of modern living providing open view, better sanitation facilities, and higher building density, is usually considered to be a positive architectural revolution. The Lilong housing, despite its tranquil appearance sustained over a century, also experienced a revolution, caused by densification resulting from population explosion and poor maintenance of the buildings. Living in extremely tight space, often less than 6 square meters per person, Lilong residents had to find flexible ways of living by modifying and using space in creative ways. The residents built subtle social connections through the intense contacts of their shared lives. People who have moved from Lilong to high-rise when asked to compare their changed lifestyle, usually appreciate the good privacy, generous space, and full facilities in high-rise housing. However, most of them also dislike being isolated and lament their loss of the "big warm family" of old Lilong (Hammond, 2006, p.41). Believing that a good design should bring people together I am searching for an alternative way to develop hyper-dense urban housing to support communal culture while also actively responding to various modern trends.

... As one walks the streets of the Philadelphia, Sauer's buildings stand out for the masterly way he calibrates architectural composition and the varied playfulness of his solutions which, through a complex body of intuitively defined rules, one will find the very essence of Sauer's field of action where he interprets the reality of the setting and its surroundings. This book, then, is an enjoyable, lively read, because it proposes a profoundly democratic architecture that opens individuals' minds, leaves room to the end-user's aesthetic sensibility and presupposes a curious, imagining heart... From the Preface by P. C. Pignatelli L. Sauer, born 1928, FAIA, Hon FRAIA, is an architect, professor and design theorist. Extensive projects have been built in the U.S.A. and Canada where his work is an example of planning and design originality. A. Saggio (1955) teaches Architecture at «Sapienza» University (Rome). He is the founder of the book series "The IT Revolution in Architecture".

"Population increase, advances in technology, and the continued trend towards inner city migration in relation to economic progress has transformed the traditional, low rise city of spaces into the modern, high rise city of objects. The continued depletion of the public realm through urbanization has necessitated the birth of alternative social spaces that have sought to replenish those environments that were once so intrinsic to our day to day interactions and communal activities. Such changes in the urban habitat have also contributed to the reduction in urban greenery and the consequent rise in temperatures. The need to readdress the balance of open space to high density development has therefore never been so important. The creation of more hybrid building forms and typologies that balance open space within the object in the interests of sustaining life and providing a forum for social interaction is increasingly being realised around the World and has started to redefine the tall building within the vertical city. Skycourts and skygardens are increasingly being incorporated into tall buildings and the urban habitat to reduce perceived densities and provide more habitable environments that promote a greener urban habitat. This highly illustrated colour book investigates the skycourt and skygarden as a social space that combats negative environmental impacts associated with urban densification and their socio-economic benefits as an alternative social space within the 21st century city"--
