The global population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, increasing the demand for built space. High-rise buildings offer a sustainable solution by minimising land use while integrating eco-friendly technologies.

Sustainable high-rises focus on energy and water efficiency, durable materials, and optimised design. Innovations include smart HVAC systems, advanced glazing, renewable energy, and water conservation strategies.

Iconic structures like Commerzbank HQ, Lotte World Tower, and One Central Park exemplify sustainable skyscraper designs

By leveraging sustainable technologies and efficient design, high-rise buildings can meet urban growth demands while mitigating environmental impact, proving that sustainability and vertical expansion can coexist.
