Vertical Urbanism Issue III 1/2025 - DIGITAL

We are now one quarter of the way through the 21st century. To commemorate this, and take stock of where we are, “Vertical Urbanism Now” showcases 25 designs for 25 top architecture firms for their favorite unbuilt (unrealized, competition, and under-construction) designs. In this richly illustrated section, the collective vertical urbanism hive-mind has imagined extraordinary, responsive, and thoughtful projects that rise to meet the challenges of this century. In the Cities section, we hear from two people who lived and breathed the incredible reconstruction of the World Trade Center—developer Larry Silverstein and economist Rosemary Scanlon. Further on, find discussions of density at all scales and contexts – dialogue essential to solving planetary issues that are anything but homogeneous.
