ABSTRACT

Sustainability is pivotal for urban evolution. The requirement for functional spatial diversity within a fast-developing city clashes with city land shortage. The novel idea of vertical city can be promising for city evolution in the future. Our team hence finished a report on people's function requirements regarding residential places and their understanding of vertical and parallel cities. Our team finished an indepth investigation via interviewing, using questionnaires and reading literature, for the purpose of drawing associated conclusions more objectively via data harvest and summarization. People's demands for functionality near their residential places are becoming increasingly integrated. Masses of people hold that future cities will reflect the feature of our era and will make our lives more convenient. Moreover, certain people think that conventional parallel cities are better and more comfortable, whereas vertical cities are able to ameliorate land utilization, providing more greenery and residential places while offering various intricate city functions. Although people differ in this regard, supportive viewpoints prevail. Overcoming the problems of parallel cities and innovating new models of urban development, perhaps vertical cities are also a path to sustainable development.
