High-Rise Buildings: The Need Of The Hour
High-rise buildings are not a new trend rather have been existing since ancient times. Why is there now a rising need and trend of high-rise buildings? Why does Pakistan feel the need of having high-rise building today more than ever before? The trend rose when there was a need for vertical expansion of urban areas rather than horizontal expansion. With the population on the rise, the city cannot expand all the societies horizontally, hence comes the need for high-rise buildings.
And this is exactly what the high-rise buildings provided, what Pakistan needed; the development of more residential and commercial areas within the city. This means that societies need not be developed in the outskirts of the city!
When we talk in relation to Pakistan, we see that the city is expanding greatly but not vertically rather horizontally by the development of more and more societies in the outskirts of the city and away from the main city. If we take an example of Islamabad and Rawalpindi which we’re initially two separate cities, they now overlap each other as a result of accommodation of the rising population rates.
Therefore Pakistan, today, needs more high-rise buildings; to accommodate the rising population rates by accommodating them in a vertical manner i.e. by the construction of high-rise buildings. Now, because of the scarcity of residential areas, and with the population in the rise, people need to be accommodated in a vertical manner. Hence, now there are several areas dedicated solely to the development of high-rise apartment buildings.
