Though its fortunes have changed over the years, the high-rise plays a prominent role in current debates about urbanity, urban development, and architecture, and it is a conspicuous feature of the modern cityscape. More high-rises have been built worldwide over roughly the past twenty years than ever before (Museum für Gestaltung Zürich and Janser 2011; Matzig 2017; Wood 2010). Particularly in Asia-and especially China and the Gulf region-metropolises are shooting toward the sky. But such projects are multiplying in Europe, too-where, with the exception of Frankfurt, most city centers have long lacked high-rises, with vertical accents being placed mainly by steeples, chimneys, and the towers of town halls. Now even small cities in rural regions are developing high-rise concepts and introducing measures to promote the construction of tall buildings (Ackermann 2011). This move toward a more verticalized cityscape is highly controversial, however. Opinions are sharply divided as to how high-rise architecture can or should be implemented in European cities. High-rise debates usually revolve not just around individual building projects but, more fundamentally, around questions of "desirable" urbanity and power in urban spaces. Vertical construction involves conflicts of interest and goes hand in hand with a variety of promises and difficulties. When the talk turns to high-rise construction today, references to population growth and the increasing urbanization of social life are usually not far behind. The stacking of space is supposed to generate additional room and put a stop to urban sprawl. Vertical construction is often billed as a strategy for preserving green areas and open spaces-a truly modernist leitmotif (Fromonot 2008, 16). Such discussions focus mainly on office and residential space, but not exclusively. In Brazil and Israel there are high-rise cemeteries, for example, and New York has led the way with the concept of vertical farming in skyscrapers, the techniques of which have been debated and tested for some time (Despommier 2011; Frazier 2017). Calls for "efficient" land use through high-rises are ultimately also tied to questions of financial returns. Wherever building regulations allow for the increased utilization of property through the stacking of space, economic interests have a central bearing on high-rise construction (Willis 1995).1 Vertical construction rouses visual desires as well. Municipal governments and businesses alike rely on striking architecture to send "signals" and display or simulate a sense of prosperous urbanity (Bodenschatz 2000). The projects now being developed for city-center locations are typically prestige buildings par excellence. They represent what is often referred to as a "glamorous" building style, which combines economic and artistic-architectural capital and is usually technically ambitious as well (Foster 2011; Peters 2003, 10; Sklair 2010). There is clearly more to these dazzling monuments than mundane functional concerns. Because they are so conspicuous, however, high-rise buildings are often also perceived as a "disruption" (or imposition), particularly in the context of historical cityscapes (Glauser 2016; Rodenstein 2006). The idea that high-rises should be located far from historical monuments is certainly not an exclusively European way of thinking. Even in New York, as various sources testify, skyscrapers built near churches were a source of irritation. In The American Scene, for example, Henry James complains that Trinity Church ("poor old Trinity") had suddenly been surrounded by such buildings, "monsters of the mere market" (James [1907] 2000, 375, 378). High-rises are considered difficult neighbors inasmuch as the Kurzbeschreibung Titel: Vertical Europe | Zusatz: The Sociology of High-rise Construction | Medium: Taschenbuch | Autor: Andrea Glauser | Einband: Paperback | Inhalt: 252 S. | Auflage: 1/2019 | Sprache: Englisch | Seiten: 252 | Maße: 214 x 142 x 16 mm | Erschienen: 19.06.2019 | Anbieter: Cellestria Das erwartet Sie bei Cellestria Schnelle & professionelle Abwicklung Kompetenter & unkomplizierter Service Rechnung bequem per Email Versand per Deutsche Post oder DHL Interne Cellestria Artikelnummer: 114-894-580 , von Profianbieter, Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Buchtitel: Vertical Europe, Anzahl der Seiten: 252, Marke: Campus Verlag, Hersteller: Campus Verlag, Format: Paperback, Genre: Sozialwissenschaften, Recht, Wirtschaft, Ausgabe: 1/2019, Titelzusatz: The Sociology of High-rise Construction, Schlagworte: Architektur, Bauen, Europa, Gesellschaft, Häuser, London, Paris, Campus Verlag, 2019<

Even in Europe, where historically a typical city's most prominent vertical accents came from chimneys and church steeples, towering buildings are increasingly shaping the urban landscape. In Vertical Europe, Andrea Glauser looks at new architectural trends in London, Paris, and Vienna, as well as the promises, desires, and fears associated with them in the minds of these cities' residents. Her book is the first full-length sociological examination of the recent skyward growth in urban Europe, bringing together debates on high-rise architecture from fields including urban planning, geography, and art history. She contextualizes this vertical construction as an area wrought with tensions between these European cities' desire to keep pace with global competition while still retaining the specific architectural qualities that have defined them for centuries., 6<
