Many argue that high-rises deliver positive environmental effects, such as densification, and reduction of traffic and C02 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 success? Do high-rises live up to the claims made for them? How sustainable is a high-rise building? Can it be re-used? How can one reduce the environmental impact of a tower?

Summary:
In the Netherlands, climate change has brought more frequent and extreme rainfall causing pluvial flooding. Though the Dutch have dealt with water for centuries, since the Industrial Revolution urban water systems have become very inflexible and are now unable to deal with these new conditions. Despite the long tradition of building in wet and soft soil conditions, there has been little systematic research on building-site preparation and its relation to urban development and design. This book addresses this issue by investigating the relation between the available technology, the attitude towards the natural conditions and the urban design.

La ville, comme entité en devenir et en mouvement, cristallise les changements sociaux culturels, en les prédisant, les initiant et en y réagissant. C’est aussi en cela que l’architecture et l’aménagement urbain sont des reflets et des articulations des changements de paradigme sociaux. Partant de trois villes exemplaires, la Chaux-de-Fonds, Chandigarh et Brasilia, les contributions de cet ouvrage analysent et mettent en évidence un vaste spectre de problématiques, phénomènes ou médias de représentation et d’interprétation liés aux trois exemples urbains mentionnés d’une part, à la ville contemporaine et à l’urbanisme en général d’autre part.
