Experienced the drastic switch in density when I moved back from Canada more than a year ago.  40-stories seemed to be the minimum height of residential/commercial towers being erected here in the last decade or so.  Living in high-density cities like HK is good in a lot of ways and will inevitably become the norm globally.  But there’s also disadvantages and a definite limit yet to be determined.  This book is a collection of insightful research papers concerning the many different aspects of designing high-density cities.

Just whetting my appetite for the coming course and research paper.  After a much too long vacation, it looks like I’ll soon be buried with books/papers again…
