Verticalization
In urbanism, verticalization is the rapid increase of inner city apartment high-rise buildings, resulting in the development of "vertical" city parts and urban densification.[1]
Although both verticalization and densification processes in cities can provide several advantages, such modifications in the urban landscape were implemented extremely fast, especially after the Second World War.[2]
In order to increase densities, urban housing policies encouraged new forms of vertical building.[3] The process of verticalization is also related to consumer culture and symbols of power.[4]
