Vertical Neighborhood at Mumbai

Abstract

Vertical neighborhood is basically a mixed-use skyscraper accommodating commercial, residential and office spaces including the amenities and services required for these spaces. The idea of introducing the concept was to bring in a new idea to the word neighborhood. Neighborhood has been an idea of creating residential space also including a certain percentage of other spaces making it into a mixed-use space. So, the idea of vertical neighborhood was to bring in modernism into the same idea by designing the neighborhood vertically. Since the idea is still a new one and has been used in very few buildings so the location of the site selected for the proposal is Mumbai which is a city of skyscrapers and so the building design restrictions are a bit open to tall structures, giving more freedom towards designing.
