Improving Social Interaction In Vertical Housing, Lubna A. Kadhim, Mufeed Ehsan Shok
Iraqi Journal of Architecture and Planning
Iraq is witnessing an increasing population growth and an influx of migration from the countryside to the city. With the lack of urban lands, vertical housing has become the final solution to this problem. However, until recently, Iraqis have rejected vertical housing, and perhaps the most important reasons are social reasons. Through previous studies, it was found that the problem of social interaction is one of the most prominent problems in vertical housing. Thus, residents of vertical residential buildings achieved lower rates of social interaction than residents of single apartment buildings. The research uses a descriptive analysis method based on …
