The rapid increase in urban population, land prices and land
preservation, urban regeneration, as well as globalization and
climate change have been forcing cities to build upward. High-rises
can be part of a more sustainable solution if the construction and
engineering challenges are addressed before construction starts.
Smart technologies are being integrated in the digital environment
to allow for better energy efficiency, safety and security, and to
maximize the health and well-being of the occupants. Delivered by a
team of world leading experts, this comprehensive edited book
covers the state-of-the-art of advanced research, innovations, and
future perspectives towards sustainable high-rise buildings. The
book is structured in three parts from architecture to engineering
and city planning including sustainable environmental systems,
skybridges, curtain walling resiliency, tall timber buildings,
sustainable structural engineering, core design and space
efficiency. It also includes seismic design, mass-damping-based
approaches, innovative bio-polymeric agro-based materials,
high-rises versus sprawl, transit-oriented development, mobility
and urban space networks, resilience thinking, and interdependence
of tall buildings and the city. Architects, engineers, researchers,
energy and facility managers, urban designers, project planners and
developers, and smart building solutions experts as well as faculty
members, postdocs, advanced students who are working in the fields
of the built environment, building construction, system design,
civil engineering, architecture, urban planning, smart cities,
sustainability and resiliency and environmental engineering, and
who are exploring sustainable building practices, will find this
new advanced reference most useful and inspiring.
