The world is currently experiencing a wave of urbanization. According to United Nations predictions, nearly 70% of the world's population will reside in cities by 2050. The explosive growth of population is particularly severe in metropolitan areas. The rapid expansion of urban populations and the construction of urban land pose significant pressures on the sustainable development of cities. How can this problem be addressed? In this regard, vertical cities are a direct means to achieve this goal, providing a fresh perspective for the sustainable development of metropolitan areas. But how do vertical cities affect the sustainability of cities? Why can vertical cities become a new urban planning model for future metropolitan areas?
