More high-rise residential buildings have been built in the last
two decades than at any other time before. Even in Europe, where
historically a typical city's most prominent vertical accents came
from chimneys and church steeples, towering buildings are
increasingly shaping the urban landscape. In Vertical Europe,
Andrea Glauser looks at new architectural trends in London, Paris,
and Vienna, as well as the promises, desires, and fears associated
with them in the minds of these cities' residents. Her book is the
first full-length sociological examination of the recent skyward
growth in urban Europe, bringing together debates on high-rise
architecture from fields including urban planning, geography, and
art history. She contextualizes this vertical construction as an
area wrought with tensions between these European cities' desire to
keep pace with global competition while still retaining the
specific architectural qualities that have defined them for
centuries.
