Abstract
The article deals with an actual problem of finding techniques and methods to create a comfortable urban environment. The authors emphasize that in the existing conditions of intensive urban development greater attention should be given to spatial concentration based on and more compact distribution of population in urban space. It is stressed that including mixed-use facilities into urban realm results in a significant improvement of living environment qualitative characteristics. The paper also examines modern approaches to constructing a «compact city» for comfortable and convenient living with a mixed-use tall building development. The authors explore the world's experience of designing tall mixed-use buildings and reveal modern trends in their construction. The statistics given is based on the data analysis of a group of tall mixed-use buildings consisting of more than 400 objects, constructed in 2007-2016. The research shows functional and architectural peculiarities of this typology of tall buildings and investigates a mechanism of creating zones of mixed-use tall building development in the urban structure. In conclusion, the authors consider prospects of development and major directions of improvement of mixed-use tall building parameters for a reasonable territorial urban growth and creation of high-density and comfortable building development.
Highlights
Massive world urbanization is accompanied by an alarming tendency for urban sprawl of city areas
Urban planning, economics, sociology, ecology, etc. are worried about it and try to find new, more rational urban planning and space-planning solutions to meet the challenges of modern society
The concept of «sustainable vertical urbanism» based on finding a totally new typology of tall buildings seems appropriate and develops rapidly. This typology is based on the principle of multi-functionality
Summary
Massive world urbanization is accompanied by an alarming tendency for urban sprawl of city areas. Are worried about it and try to find new, more rational urban planning and space-planning solutions to meet the challenges of modern society. In these circumstances, the concept of «sustainable vertical urbanism» based on finding a totally new typology of tall buildings seems appropriate and develops rapidly. The concept of «sustainable vertical urbanism» based on finding a totally new typology of tall buildings seems appropriate and develops rapidly This typology is based on the principle of multi-functionality. In this paper, «functions» are urban services which are different types of activities in urban area (housing, industry, health care, trade, education, etc.). «Multifunctionality» as a phenomenon of urban environment has been studied by many researchers [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]
