Vertical Urbanism Issue I 2024

In this inaugural issue of CTBUH’s flagship magazine Vertical Urbanism, launched at the 2024 International Conference in London and Paris, a compelling collection of ideas and fresh perspectives on urban density takes center stage. Featuring thought-provoking contributions from global leaders such as Norman Foster, Santiago Calatrava, Richard Sennett, and Nathalie de Vries, the publication challenges conventional approaches and advocates for high-density environments that thoughtfully balance human needs with urban efficiency. This special double issue also highlights the CTBUH City Advocacy Forum, an initiative bringing together planners from around the world to exchange insights on managing density and advancing sustainable urban growth.
