Urban architecture has included high rise buildings as far back as the Tower of Babel.

“Its top in the sky” is the phrase used to describe the tower and was an idiom for impressive height.

Another account mentions that the Tower reached a height of 695 feet, which was taller than any structure built in history

In classical architecture, the landmark was an object set apart by its height, mass and silhouette.

High rise buildings often served as accents to highlight the city center or to serve as dominant urban structures.

They created a new visual identity and shaped the skylines of the city.

Architecture can successfully blend into a location when it is sensitive to the surroundings and the background of the property.

New high rise construction makes use of the latest technological advances.

The advances are also a part of the renewal of unattractive industrial areas for updated purposes.

Old industrial areas whose purpose has become lost become a potential place to develop high rise construction.

After approximately 60 years of a single family house in the suburbs being the preferred living arrangement, numerous factors have made those arrangements not as livable.

They like the thought of living in an area that is pedestrian friendly and offers mass transit instead of having to bear the high costs of a motor vehicle.

Added to the above are the social assets of having areas and activities in the buildings that bring residents together to easily make new friends and to enjoy a variety of events and hobbies that make for happier living.
