Large cities thrive on density and diversity – an environment where opportunity and choice are always proximate. But beyond the clear energy and pollution advantages of the elevator over the automobile, there are complex issues at play in concentrating population and built infrastructure in contemporary high-rise cities. The wicked complexity of urban systems notoriously escapes modelling, understanding and prediction in ways that lead to good design and high quality urban environments.
