Rapidly growing cities are turning to vertical urban development (VUD ), characterized by mid- and high-rise buildings that supports urban compactness. The development of new high-rise buildings and continued urban sprawl may alther the built environment with potential negative impacts including poor connectivity, air pollution and increased energy demands.
To address this issue, a computational process was developed to consider the impact of potential interventions on connectivity and environmental performance by simulating changes over time. We propose interventions including adaptable networks and transport hubs at the early stages and modular typologies for future development to foster connectivity and reduce carbon emissions.
