Mass urbanization. Population growth. All happening faster than we can build for. As global
populations are projected to shift to 80-90% urban in the next 30 years architects are faced
with a growing challenge: how to accommodate all this growth in limited space? At the same time
movements around downsizing and living with less are redefining how we live. Vertical Living
explores the future of residential architecture in growing cities. The book looks at ingenious
architectural solutions: impossibly skinny houses wedged into narrow plots spacious homes
built into neglected infill sites and comfortable homes created in tiny spaces. By combining
inspirational projects in-depth features and engaging profiles of architects around the world
Vertical Living will offer a new way of looking at how we live in the built environment.
