This book investigates the development of multi-unit housing
typologies that were predominant in a particular city from the
1800s to present day. It emphasises the importance of understanding
the direct connection between housing and dwelling in the context
of a city, and the manner in which the city is an instructional
indication of how a housing typology is embodied. The case studies
presented offer an insight into why a certain housing type
flourished in a specific city and the variety span across cities in
the world where distinct housing types have prevailed. It also
pursues how housing types developed, evolved, and helped define the
city, looks into how dwellers inhabited their dwellings, and
analyses how the housing typologies correlates in a contemporary
context. The typologies studied are back-to-backs in Birmingham;
tenements in London; Haussmann Apartment in Paris; tenements in New
York; tong lau in Hong Kong; perimeter block, linear block, and
block-edge in Berlin; perimeter block and solitaire in Amsterdam;
space-enclosing structure in Beijing; micro house in Tokyo, and
high-rise in Toronto.
