Although the construction of high-rise apartment in Japan has rapid progress in urban areas since the 2000s, there is concern that the "isolated living issues " will become apparent in the near future due to the privacy-oriented design and the aging of residents. The aim of this research is to be focused on the super high-rise apartment of four Asian cities, read the actual conditions of planning characteristics and space use, and find the relationship between climate, life, and consciousness of residents, and get solutions to the above issues.
In these cities, there are many cases and learnings in the design of common spaces and facilities on the upper floors, but the planning and use of them is strong connection with urban policies, the standards of fire evacuation and greening, management concepts, climate and residents’ lifestyle, etc. In addition, regarding the problem of old age, we’ve got hints such as complexity of functions, linking residents’ care and community management.
