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.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Dr Kheir Al-Kodmany is an Associate Professor in the Department of Urban Planning and Policy at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Before joining the UIC faculty, Dr Al-Kodmany worked on tall building projects as an architectural designer for the Chicago firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. He won several international architectural and urban design competitions. His current academic research focuses on sustainable urban design, vertical density, infrastructure, and geospatial visualization applications for planners. He has developed 3D modeling, virtual reality, GIS, and web-based mapping survey tools and software for effective participatory planning and design. He also served as the Co-Director of the Urban Data Visualization Laboratory at UIC and has engaged many communities in using GIS. Dr Al-Kodmany helped the Saudi Government in facilitating the performance of safe Hajj by applying visualization and crowd management techniques to reconfigure and expand the existing infrastructure to accommodate about three million pilgrims who travel to Mecca for the event annually. He helped the City of Chicago in crowd management, emergency evacuation and planning for the "Taste of Chicago" event. He also worked as a consultant to the Jordanian Government on integrating high-rise development in the Amman Master Plan. According to a study conducted by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning, Dr Al-Kodmany ranked seventh in the number of publications by all US planning faculty members 1998 2003. He received the Outstanding Research and Outstanding Teaching Awards from the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign upon completing his PhD there. He received his early training in architecture from his late father Professor Abdul Muhsen Al-Kodmany, a former Le Corbusier trainee.
