vertical development

    0.10 sec.
vertical development

The philosophy that increasing population density for an area requires construction of taller and taller buildings. Especially since 9/11 and the perceived vulnerability of skyscrapers,vertical development in its traditional form does not enjoy the widespread and enthusiastic support it once did.Today, notions of building down into the earth are gaining acceptance in vertical development planning, as are more sophisticated notions of horizontal development making better use of space.
