Abstract:

The past three decades have been a time of intensive development for high-rise housing in Shanghai. It has grown from an experimental prototype to the city's predominant form of housing. In this thesis, three periods in the developmental progress of Shanghai's high-rise housing will be examined, beginning in 1972. The interrelationships between the specific socioeconomic contexts, building codes, and design strategies are explored sequentially, and twelve typical high-rise housing projects are discussed, in an effort to trace the evolution of high-rise housing design strategies.
The study focuses primarily on three aspects of high-rise housing design: site organization, building design and unit layout. Responses to socio-economic transformation and building code regulations related to architectural design strategies are explored from the macro to the micro level. The experiences and lessons learned from previous works are reviewed, as well as suggestions for improving the performance of future projects, through approaches to architectural design and building-code adjustments.

Abstract:

Currently in Vietnam there is an increasing demand for building and housing. Many high-rise housing developments have been built recently and continue to be constructed. This dissertation will not address the question of whether the high-rises should be built or not, it will focus on the question: What is appropriate high-rise housing in Vietnam?

Abstract:

The importance of increasing renewable energy production to facilitate a sustainable energy transition has been well-discussed and reinforced worldwide. In land- and resource-scarce and tropical Singapore, solar has been deemed the most feasible renewable energy technology for the country moving forward. Previous studies have focused on assessing the feasibility of various solar technologies. This paper instead analyses the rooftop solar power production potential of existing high-rise residential buildings in Singapore, and thus contributes to reaching the national solar goal using geographic information system geospatial imagery. For this study, the chosen focus area is the south of Jurong East in Singapore. Results show that solar deployment on all available public high-rise residential building rooftop areas in the focus area will be able to generate a total potential solar peak power and annual solar energy output of 2-megawatt peak and 2.8-gigawatt hour per year respectively. This equates to meeting the energy demand of 679 public residential apartments in the focus area and meeting 0.18% of the national solar goal of reaching 1.5- gigawatt peak by 2025. In an urban context, the use of geospatial analysis has been presented to benefit urban planning especially with regards to the integration of rooftop solar photovoltaic systems.

Abstract:

Constrained housing supply coupled with rapid urbanisation and a volatile domestic credit market have put affordable rental housing development under the spotlight. Addressing this demands appropriate and deliberate capital provisions to induce the property development market to deliver the scale needed to tackle the supply-side of the problem. Inducements are needed for residential property developers to choose to develop high-density affordable rental housing on land that presents great accessibility to economically vibrant nodes, where land is priced at a premium. The greenfield residential property development space is in need of sophisticated and specific funding interventions to evolve it beyond the sporadic developments we observe located on the urban periphery on cheap land. The benefits of sophisticated funding models in commercial property have seen the widespread proliferation of building and investment activity. Rental housing, however, lags behind owing to an immature market, shallow investment analysis and rudimentary risk-weighted debt-funding solutions. These funding instruments impede developers building affordable housing schemes on well-located parcels of land near existing amenities and profoundly incorporate green technology into buildings. This research presents a proof of concept for a sophisticated model for high-density housing. A largely 'spatial economic' model for risk analysis, it is developed to attain a so-called Probability of Default Ratio ("PDR") by coalescing two formulae regarded as international best-practice: The risk types incorporated into the model are (1) borrower-level credit risk, (2) property/development-level risk, and (3) cash-flow risk factors. The research is proof of concept of a credit risk management tool for impact investment funding model using these formulae and Geographic Information Systems ("GIS"). It calculates the extent of credit risk for income-producing real estate fundamentals and uses endogenous factors- risk factors and drivers associated with the housing scheme to be build and the surrounding area it is to be built in. The study area covers the 336 contiguous municipal wards that make up the Johannesburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni metropolitan municipalities.

Este trabalho busca comprovar a tese que os controles de desenvolvimento urbano são inadequados para promover áreas em declínio, investigando os diferentes resultados e avaliando as possibilidades e os limites do mecanismo de promoção de parcerias. A hipótese é que este instrumento, ainda que flexibilizado, deriva de outros cujo objetivo foi regular uma demanda de mercado em real expansão num período anterior de grande crescimento populacional e de expansão econômica. Numa situação de crise e retração econômica, ele se revela inadequado para reaquecer o mercado imobiliário em áreas de declínio.

This work searches to prove the thesis that this urban development control is inadequate to boost urban declining areas by investigating this different results and evaluating the possibilities and the limits of this mecanism in partnership promotion. The hipothesis is that this instrument, despite of this flexibility, derives from others which objective was to regulate a growing real state market demand in a previous period of great population growth and economic expansion. In an economic crisis and contraction situation, it reveals to be inadequate to reheat the real estate market in urban declining areas.

Abstract:

"The compact forms of housing" is a term with which the Czech interior design yet do not often occur. This concept densely built low-rise residential files yet carries a strong potential not only in matters of mere living, but also offers one of the progressive alternative ways of living environment in general. Examined form of residential buildings is becoming increasingly important especially in specific situations where conventional housing is failing and instead generates other social problems. This thesis is primarily seeking the maximum extent available to document the issue of a compact housing, describe its basic form and point out the historical roots of this typology. The acquired knowledge was then subjected to an in-depth analysis, the output of which is to be the most comprehensive characterization researched the topic and its inclusion in the context of the standard forms of housing. The result is a set of research information, assumptions and typological bases that determine the primary urban, architectural, or social limits of the residential category. This work attempts to take into account the specified topic in the broader context of housing as a basic human need. As a result of findings would be its contribution to the culture scene in our home and create a theoretical material that would become an essential information base for creating compact residential files. The conclusions of this research can be further developed, tested and refined in the educational process at the faculties of architecture or in the practice. The results of research could stimulate interest in this type of housing and contribute to the enrichment of Czech housing scene of a synthetic form, which will form the connecting link between the typological family house and an apartment building. Low-rise housing complexes with a high population density can also create an effective counterbalance to the typical suburban development of part-time family home and offer method, respectively one of the alternative ways to be with this dilapidated urban housing estate deal.

Abstract:

Urban land prices have important effects on urban development and locational distribution of land-uses. Housing is one of those sectors. There are high-density residential areas covering high-rise apartments at the city center where the land prices are quite high. Here, sizes of the plots and the housing units are relatively small. However, land prices begin to decrease with the increasing distance from the city center and the production of low-density, low-rise housing which is economically unfeasible at the center turns to be feasible for the housebuilders at the outskirts. Low-rise houses at the urban fringe provides various opportunities for the households. In these areas, plots and housing units are relatively larger due to cheap and available land. In addition to this, better urban services, quiet and clean environment as well as privacy contribute to create a livable urban environment. However, households living in low-rise housing units are subject to high transportation and maintenance costs. It is expected that they would compensate these costs with larger housing units, prestigious urban environment and many opportunities that their neighborhoods offer. Urbanization processes may be differ from one country to another with respect to the socio-economic and political structures, and the environmental characteristics. In that sense, low-rise housing areas at the urban fringe of Ankara were found to be developed highly compatible with urban land use theories
but different from the processes experienced in developed countries, to some extent. With regard to these, low-rise housing development in Ankara is discussed according to plan decisions, housebuilders, households and urban development pattern, considering the theoretical basis and historical processes.

Abstract:

Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1990.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 39-41).
This thesis examines the potential application of the L-shaped courtyard house in an American context. Privacy for the dwelling and its grounds is a key issue to be addressed. It is shown than a traditional single-family detached house will provide sufficient privacy on lots of one-quarter acre or more. However, an alternate solution must be developed in higher-density applications of one-eighth acre or less. The principal design elements desired in a traditional home are identified and incorporated into an alternate design solution. The courtyard house is proposed as an alternate and it is shown that, contrary to popular belief, such a house form can function in temperate climates without excessive heat loss. The reason for prizing an L-shaped courtyard house over other variations in a high-density application is explained in light of privacy and solar access issues. A detailed discussion of design elements in an L-shaped application include: inter-unit privacy issues, the courtyard size and passive solar heating applications, the dwelling layout and interior zoning, entry location, Circulation, facade treatment, parking, grouping or clustering, and expansion potential. It is demonstrated that the L-shaped design will satisfy American standards within a high-density urban context of eight to twelve units per acre.

Abstract:

In China, huge population and limited arable land resources constitute one of the basic contradictions in urban mass housing design. As a stereotype, medium-rise apartment buildings were constructed to attain high densities all over the country during the 1980s. The extensive use of the housing typologies caused problems in many aspects. This reflects the poverty of architectural solutions and the consequences of the socio-economic systems of the country.
Focusing on the aspects of single building design and site planning, this thesis analyses the methods to reach high building densities in medium-rise mass housing design in Beijing from 1979 to 1990. The study is conducted through the review of the socio-economic issues and the introduction of mass housing design of the country. It intends to see the interrelationships between ways to attain high building densities and the socio-economic backgrounds.
The research indicates that methods to reach high building densities are many. Ways used in Beijing during 1980s were based on the socio-economic system at the time being. These ways are not appropriate in terms of the unique urban context of the city and could be thus replaced by others.

Abstract:

Public housing in Singapore is one of the most significant development programmes in the state. It has been centrally planned and implemented by the Government not only to tackle housing problems and rebuild the decaying inner city areas, but also to restructure Singapore society in terms of the visions of the power elite. This study attempts to examine the social and political implications of relocation and public housing in Singapore, and to analyse the difficulties faced by and the impact of relocation on individuals and families from the various constrasting groups of relocatees, with an emphasis on problems of economic hardship, adaptation to high-rise living, and neighbourliness in the public housing estates. To achieve this task, three types of material have been used, viz. official data, empirical material from previous studies, and empirical data and information collected during fieldwork. The fieldwork comprises a sample survey of 1,200 households and an in-depth study of 27 relocated families. The thesis consists of three parts. The first part reviews the literature on relocation and public housing and the conceptual framework employed in their study. The second part examines the policies underlying and the salient social and political aspects of relocation and public housing in Singapore. The final part analyses the data and information obtained from the sample survey and the in-depth study. The findings of the present study show that while the Singapore Government has made some impressive quantitative achievements of its public housing programme, some of its original objectives may never be fully achieved. Two of the eight hypotheses deduced from the assumptions and observations of the previous studies are refuted by data obtained from the present study. Five of them are however supported, and one is inconclusive. Some sensitive issues relating to public housing in Singapore, which have significant social and political effects and yet are usually avoided by most researchers, are also analysed and discussed in the light of their policy implications.

Abstract:

Thesis (M. Arch)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1987.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 45).
The idea of low-rise high-density urban housing is based on two fundamental objectives: 1) To provide higher density by intensifying land use as urban growth escalates at an unprecedented rate. 2) To reconsider the essential qualities of house - a house with a garden, light and air. Modern high-rise apartments provide greater density and improved living conditions in terms of proper sanitation, electricity, and open space. But it lacks individuality and promotes a high degree of anonymity leading to limited social contact between neighbors. It dissociates the house from the ground and creates ambiguous open space between buildings. Single-family detached houses provides individuality and open space but detachment is not only meaningless but highly inefficient in terms of land use The courtyard house provides an alternative solution by combining advantages of individual house and high density housing. Its introverted nature allow dense clustering while maintaining a private open space. The design takes this traditionally horizontal aggregation of dwellings one step further to increase its potential density. It proposes a vertical courtyard house while maintaining access to light and air, visual and acoustical privacy, efficiency of construction, and a revitalization of street life and open space.

Abstract:

In the past ten years, China’s urban population has increased rapidly. High-rise housing estates have been widely accepted as a ‘sustainable’ and ‘effective’ solution to urban housing shortage. However, high-rise housing has long been under debate with critics claiming liveability problems to be one of the reasons behind the decline of such development form in the mid-1970s. China presents a different context in the research on high-rise housing from other developed countries. This study focuses on an inquiry into the liveability of high-rise housing estates through investigating residents’ experience and evaluation on current high-rise living in the context of a Chinese city. The main contribution of this research to the existing literature is considered to be two-fold: Firstly, in the theoretical dimension, this research fills the research gap on the liveability study of high-rise housing in China, by establishing a resident-centred theoretical framework on the liveability of high-rise housing estates with a specific focus on housing planning and design in the Chinese context; Secondly, in the practical dimension, this research presents an empirical study on the liveability issues of current high-rise housing development in China, and provides implications for future planning and design of high-rise housing in high density urban areas. This study adopts a research strategy based on an embedded multiple-case study integrated with historical analysis, qualitative and quantitative survey to dissect the liveability of four high-rise housing estates in the inner city of Tianjin, China, with each representing one typical design type. This study provides an understanding on the impact of the macro-context on the development of high-rise housing estates and residents’ perception of the liveable residential environment; it explores the residential environment features and residents’ actual experience of high-rise living; it acquires residents’ liveability evaluation of high-rise housing estates, which not only reveals the liveability strengths and weaknesses of current high-rise housing development, but also discovers the measurement, indicators and dimensions of the liveability of high-rise housing estates, and provide implications for both theoretical research and practical development.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This is an applied methodological thesis about the attitudes of residents towards a modern high rise public housing complex. A definition and analysis of the theme show that this housing type is characterised by a distinctive design and style known as modernist. Therefore, modern and postmodern theory is used to formulate a general existential hypothesis as to residents attitudes towards this housing type. A cross-sectional survey research design was used to research the thesis. Data was collected by means of questionnaires and analysed in the form of a perceived environmental quality index. It was found that residents show a negative overall attitude towards the housing complex. However, there are also some indications of positive attitudes towards the complex, and significant differences were found between the attitudes of particular groups. The thesis is concluded with the suggestion that this housing type can be regarded as an option for certain groups in the context of South Africa’s current housing situation.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie is `n toegepaste metodologiese tesis oor inwoners se houdings teenoor `n moderne toringblok openbare behuisingskompleks. `n Definisie en analise van die tema wys dat hierdie behuisingstipe, deur `n uitstaande ontwerp en styl wat as modernisties bekend staan, gekenmerk word. Moderne en postmoderne teorie word gebruik om `n algemene eksistensiële hipotese betreffende inwoners se houdings teenoor dié behuisingstipe te formuleer. `n Kruis-seksionele opname navorsingsontwerp is gebruik om die tesis te ondersoek. Data is deur middel van vraelyste ingesamel en in die formaat van `n waargenome- omgewing- kwaliteitsindeks geanaliseer. Dit word bevind dat inwoners in geheel `n negatiewe houding teenoor die kompleks huldig. Tog is daar ook bewyse van positiewe houdings en beduidende verskille tussen die houdings van sekere groepe. Die tesis volstaan met die gevolgtrekking dat hierdie behuisingstipe oorweeg kan word vir sekere groepe in die konteks van die huidige Suid Afrikaanse behuisingsituasie.

Abstract:

Effective daylighting can substantially reduce the energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of commercial buildings. Daylight is also healthy for building occupants, and contributes to occupant satisfaction. When productivity improvements are considered, effective daylighting is also highly attractive financially. However, successful daylighting of sub-tropical buildings is a very difficult task, due to high direct irradiances and excessive solar shading. A device was created that combined effective solar shading and efficient daylight redirection. The micro-light guiding shade panel achieves all objectives of an optimal daylighting device placed on the façade of a sub-tropical, high rise office building. Its design is based on the principles of non-imaging optics. This provides highly efficient designs offering control over delivered illumination, within the constraints of the second law of thermodynamics. Micro-light guiding shade panels were constructed and installed on a test building. The tested devices delivered daylight deep into the building under all conditions. Some glare was experienced with a poorly chosen translucent material. Glare was eliminated by replacing this material. Construction of the panels could be improved by application of mass-manufacturing techniques including metal pressing. For the micro-light guiding shade panel to be utilised to its full potential, building designers must understand its impact on building performance early in the design process. Thus, the device must be modelled with lighting simulation software currently in use by building design firms. The device was successfully modelled by the RADIANCE lighting simulator. RADIANCE predictions compared well with measurements, providing bias generally less than 10%. Simulations greatly aided further development of the micro-light guiding shade panel. Several new RADIANCE algorithms were developed to improve daylight simulation in general.

Abstract:

Different policy instruments have been applied to raise the energy efficiency in low-income and vulnerable households. However, previous studies suggested that, due to temperature take-back, occupants take part of the energy consumption saving after energy efficiency upgrades as increased internal air temperatures. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of retrofit insulation on space heating consumption to deepen the understanding of the temperature take-back. This study used an integrated approach to take into account the complex interactions of physical and occupants’ behavioural factors; quasi-experimental and qualitative approaches. A quasi-experimental approach involved detailed internal air temperature monitoring of a sample in a high-rise building pre- and post-retrofit, and monthly space heating consumption for over a year of each flat dwelling at the retrofitted building, which was compared to a control building. A qualitative approach involved the collection of occupant responses pre- and post-retrofit. The main findings were: 1. Following retrofit the mean internal air temperature of the high-rise retrofitted building increased +0.46 ̊C (22.07 ̊C to 22.53 ̊C at 5 ̊C external temperature) and could attain a 27% space heating saving (34% relative to a control group); 2. The effect known as saturation was taking place due to internal temperatures’ reaching a maximum level of thermal comfort (~22.5°C); 3. No evidence was found that would suggest that occupants were using their homes more intensively or had changed the use of space. These empirical findings suggested that assumptions normally made about low-income dwellings ‘taking back’ energy savings as increased temperatures did not accurately reflect the reality of the energy efficiency upgrades in the case study – particularly, energy efficiency retrofit upgrades that achieve saturation. The study suggested that energy efficiency measures targeting low-income dwellings designed to achieve saturation might prevent temperature take-back, and achieve both thermal comfort and low-energy use. However, a possible risk of overheating was also suggested in the non-heating season.

Abstract:

Avec l’évolution du « rêve australien », l’habitat en hauteur dans les villes est devenu pour les classes moyennes une solution de logement non plus seulement acceptable mais aussi désirable. Cette thèse examine en détail les tactiques et stratégies mises en place par les résidents pour habiter la ville verticalement. Elle explore les manières de négocier la conception, l’habitation et la maintenance des immeubles de grande hauteur des classes moyennes aisées dans les quartiers péricentraux de Melbourne. La thèse s’intéresse tout particulièrement au rôle des résidents dans la négociation des choix de conception et la coproduction des espaces des tours d’habitation et utilise des méthodes qualitatives mixtes, combinant des visites à pied et des entretiens semi-directifs. S'appuyant sur la nouvelle géographie de l'architecture et sur une approche relationnelle de l'habitat et du logement, cette étude mobilise une théorie de la pratique reconnaissant le caractère tactique et stratégique des actions dans la ville. La thèse montre que les résidents modifient les configurations socio-matérielles et les relations spatiales de la vie en appartement préalablement définies par les concepteurs, les promoteurs et les technologues immobiliers. Explicitant le rôle joué par les classes sociales dans la vie quotidienne verticale, cette étude révèle que les complexes résidentiels de grande hauteur sont des lieux d’antagonismes incarnés et de conflits hautement symboliques. Les modes de vie et les aspirations y sont négociées par des institutions et des acteurs variés à travers un ensemble d’actions spatiales et temporelles. Il en ressort que des acteurs concurrents œuvrent à la coproduction des espaces et cultures quotidiennes des ensembles résidentiels de grande hauteur. Cependant, la thèse esquisse également la répartition changeante et irrégulière du pouvoir dans les pratiques liées à la vie en appartement entre les individus qui élaborent des stratégies et ceux qui inventent des tactiques. Plus généralement, cette thèse permet de mieux comprendre en quoi ce nouveau type de ville verticale reflète et transforme les configurations de statut, de pouvoir et d'identité dans les quartiers péricentraux de Melbourne
Within new configurations of the ‘Great Australian Dream’, high-rise living in Australian cities has become not only an acceptable housing configuration for the middle classes but also a desirable one. Enquiring deeply into the tactics and strategies that building inhabitants use to live vertically in the city, this thesis explores the ways in which the design, inhabitation, and maintenance of middle-class high-rise developments are negotiated in Melbourne inner-suburbs. It explores dwellers’ agency in the negotiation of design choices and co-production of high-rise spaces, using mixed qualitative methods combining walking tours and semi-directed interviews. Drawing on the new geography of architecture and on a relational approach to housing and home, the research engages with a theory of practice acknowledging tactical and strategic actions in the city. It argues that dwellers reshape the socio-material configurations and spatial relations of apartment living set by designers, developers and housing technologists. Explicitly recognising of the role of social class in high-rise living, the research suggests that apartment developments are highly contested sites where intended lifestyles and aspirations are negotiated by varied institutions and actors, through a distinctive set of temporal and spatial actions. It finds that competing actors all work towards the co-production of high-rise living spaces and cultures. However, the thesis also shows that housing relations in the practice of middle-class apartment living outline an uneven and changing distribution of power between those who develop strategies and those who craft tactics. More broadly, this research opens up a deeper understanding of how this new kind of vertical city reflects and transforms configurations of status, power and identity in the Australian suburb

Abstract:

The use of high strength concrete in the construction industry has become more frequent as both the knowledge of the behaviour of the material and the confidence in its production have increased. An appropriate formulation of materials and mix proportions can result in significantly enhanced performance such as high early strength, reduced heat of hydration and increased durability. As a step towards obtaining optimum performance, an investigation has been carried out on the fresh properties (workability), temperature rise during hydration and strength development. This research was aimed at understanding the role of supplementary cementing materials in binary (OPC+PFA, GGBS, CSF) and ternary (OPC+ CSF/PFA, CSF/GGBS) combinations in these three areas. With respect to workability the use of binary mixes of PFA or CSF reduce the superplasticiser dosage required to obtain a target slump, whereas GGBS increases it. Optimum replacement levels of 10% CSF, 40%PFA+l0%CSF and 60%GGBS+l0% CSF were found at a water/binder ratio of 0.26. Binary mixes of 40% PFA or 60% GGBS reduce the peak semi-adiabatic temperature rise compared to their equivalent OPC mix at 0.26 water/binder ratio. Ternary combinations of 10% CSF with PFA or GGBS have shown significant reductions in peak temperature rise compared to their equivalent binary mixes. Measurement of the in-situ strength by temperature matched curing (TMC) has shown higher early age strengths but lower long term strengths for both binary and ternary mixes compared to cubes cured under standard conditions (20°C). Microstructural evaluation of hardened cement paste indicates that these differences in strength are likely to be associated with stresses generated at the paste/aggregate interface. A novel non-destructive technique to assess the in-situ strength has shown good correlation between conductivity and strength development of high strength concrete.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The provision of low-cost housing constitutes one of South Africa's biggest challenges. As a result, high density residential development, amid an ever increasing urban population in South Africa, is seen as the answer to address the housing problems by the authorities. The concept of densification presupposes, upon its implementation, the advantages of promoting an integrated urban system, more economical use of land, a better quality of life for the recipients, containing urban sprawl and the protection of the agricultural and natural resources. However, the application of the concept of high density development in low-cost housing has been criticised for failing to fulfil its main objectives which are intended to better the lives of the people. The hypothesis is that the concept of densification may impact negatively on the quality of family living. As a result, the main objective of this study is to seek statistical data which is related to quality of family living and to uncover the views and experiences of household members. To achieve this objective, a questionnaire, interviews and literature-based research method was adopted in this study. In addition, built housing models complemented the questionnaire. Since part of the government's high density development strategy is to expand the existing townships, the Langa township in the Western Province was chosen to conduct the study. The findings of this study revealed that the application of the concept of high density development in Langa has resulted in situations of overcrowding and noise, a lack of privacy, smaller housing structures and erven, a lack of space for children to play and adults to socialise and regular clashes between the residents and the authorities regarding these issues. Therefore, the hypothesis that although densification may have resulted in more housing units being built whilst at the same time impacting negatively on the quality of family living has been proven to be true by this study. However, this study has revealed the fact that although there is nothing inherently wrong with the concept of densification, the problem lies with the manner in which the concept is applied in South Africa.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die voorsiening van laekostebehuising vorm deel van Suid-Afrika se grootste uitdagings. Die resultaat is dat die ontwikkeling van woongebiede met hoë digthede deur die owerhede gesien word as een van die oplossings vir behuisingsprobleme van 'n steeds snelgroeiende stedelike bevolking. Met die toepassing van die konsep van verdigting word daar veronderstel dat die voordele van 'n geintegreerde stedelike stelsel, die ekonomiese gebruik van grond, beter lewensgehalte vir burgers, die beperking van stedelike uitgestrektheid en die beskerming van landbou- en natuurlike hulpbronne, verwesenlik sal word. Die toepassing van die konsep van verdigting in laekostebehuising word egter gekritiseer omdat dit tekortskiet in die primere doelwit wat daarop gemik is om die lewensgehalte van burgers te bevorder. Die hipotese is dat die konsep van verdigting gesinslewe en daarby die lewenskwaliteit van persone negatief kan beinvloed. Die doel van die studie is dus om statistiese data wat verband hou met die gehalte van gesinslewe , in te win ten einde sienswyses en ervarings van gesinne in laekoste woonbuurte te verwoord. Om hierdie doelwit te bereik, is 'n vraelys, onderhoude en 'n literatuurgebaseerde navorsingsmetode gevolg. Bykomende behuisingsmodelle het die vraelys gekomplementeer. Aangesien die regering se verdigtingstrategie vir ontwikkeling ten doel het om bestaande townships uit te brei, is Langa in die Wes-Kaap gekies as studiegebied. Die bevindinge van die studie toon aan dat die implementering van die konsep van die ontwikkeling van hoë digte, laekostebehuising oorbevolking en geraas, 'n gebrek aan privaatheid, kleiner huisstrukture en erwe, 'n gebrek aan speelplek vir kinders en onvoldoende plek vir volwassenes om te sosialiseer, teweeg gebring het - die toestande het tot gereelde botsings tussen die inwoners en owerhede gelei. Die studie bewys dus die hipotese dat hoewel verdigting tot die bou van meer behuisingseenhede gelei het, dit ook 'n negatiewe impak op die gehalte van gesinslewe meegebring het. Die studie bewys dat hoewel daar niks inherent met die konsep van verdigting verkeerd is nie, die probleem Iê in die manier waarop die konsep binne Suid-Afrika toegepas word.

Modular construction has long been utilized in the construction of residential and many other commercial product types as a means for potentially quicker construction delivery times. Over the past 5 years this construction technique has slowly been introduced into the high rise residential market throughout the world. The additional structural challenges of high rise construction make modular construction in this setting more challenging, but the high construction costs of high rise construction also make any savings in time and hard cost worth consideration. Based on case studies, interviews and financial simulations this thesis will address the design, engineering, sustainability, scheduling, legal and financial considerations a developer would likely consider in adopting modular construction in a high rise project in the United States.
