3. Introduction
In India, buildings. Greater than 75 ft (23m), generally
7 to 10 stories considered high rise.
High rises absorb more people on a smaller foot-print
of land & this tendency inevitable for dense,
crowdedcity as Mumbai .
The higher you go, the greater portion of land you need
to maintain standards that include open space,
trapping of a higher standard of living, the greater
costs of over all maintenance of
structures(CharlesCorrea).
Economy & ecology of the whole city should be strong
enough for high rise structures.
Higher the status, hence more space requiredto be
used High rise requires industrial construction method
& regulations.
4. Need
Tall buildings are built out of necessity as one of a wide
range of toolsto achieve highdensity development They
provide opportunity to control urban sprawl with
theirsmallfoot print area Positive influences can be
evaluated with different factorsincluding social,
economical, environmental, emotional ,safety etc.
5. Concept
Reasons for adopting hightion & intensifying
urbanization have increased high rise towers replacing
vast areas of vernacularbuildings.
An economic phenomenon, in which, design is tied to
the business equations.
Reasons for adopting high rise buildings can be
solution for density problems & lack of available land
for development.
Going for high rise buildings is a battle between
tradition & modernity affecting the form of city as well
as its culture & political land-scape.

7. Consequences
Tall bldgs. Have been blamed for crime, mental
breakdown, overloading infrastructure etc.
Huge people load of high rise bldg., particularly at
peak time , may overload city infrastructure, transport,
road & utilities
Size of bldg. Has important direct influences on
emotional response of people. Streetscape should be
considered in designing
Shadow restrictions need to be designed to limit the
height of bldg. To ensure sufficient sunlight
Special care should be taken for strong foundation,
heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, elevators, stairs,
parking,electrical power, plumbing, wind resistance,
structural integrity,fire protectionetc.

9. UrbanContext
& Sustainability
Design of high rise should include visual, social,
functional & environmental dimensions.
Tall buildings can be grouped in clusters or located
alone depending upon suitability of site
Tall bldgs. Always cast shadows & change the patterns
of air movement around them affecting their cleansing
qualities
Buildings should not cast significant shadows on public
parks, plazas,waterways, beaches or playgrounds.
Sustainable design dealing with efficient use of energy,
should be an essential ingredient of any development

11. Conclusion
Constructing tall bldg. Structures will never be
stopped as it makessense both economically&
functionally Demands for housing have resulted in
rapidly built tower blocks per unit area
Cost of land raises per-floor cost of a bldg. Of a given
height & creates the incentive to build taller bldgs. To
spread the land cost over a large no. of floors
14. Pune is seventh largest city in India and second largest
city in Maharashtra after Mumbai. Pune Municipal
Corporation (PMC) jurisdiction extends up to an area
of 243.84 sq. Km. Housing 2.54 millionpopulace within
144 wards. Referred as „Detroit of India‟, the city has
experienced a long standing urbantradition: first as an
historical centre of pre-colonial urbanism, then as an
important military centre duringBritish rule, after
independence as a rapidly growing contemporary
industrial centre, and today identified asa growing
metropolis. Additionally, Pune ispopularly nicknamed
as „Queen of Deccan‟, „Pensioners Paradise‟, Cultural
Capital of Maharashtra‟, „CyberCity‟ etc. Owing to its
location, pleasant climate, historical importance,
educational hub,vibrant culture and upcoming
Information technology centres .
15. 4.94 percent. PMC‟s growth is not limited to few buton
(2001) which accounts for 35 percent of the total
urbanpopulation in Pune District and 60 percent of
total PMR population. The PMC‟s population has
grown from 1.57 million in 1991 to 2.54 million in 2001
as in Fig. 4, and in the last decade experienced
acompounded annual growth rate of 4.94 percent.
PMC‟s growth is not limited to few but influenced by
variousfactors. It is the most preferred destination for
many citizens in Maharashtra for job,
education,healthcare treatment, real estate
investment, better quality of life etc. As Mumbai is
already crowded, complied with comparatively high
cost of life. Rapid growth of the city however mainly
attributed to industrialization of PMC/PCMC after
1960 and expansion of Information Technology (IT)
industry in the last decade.
