Some cities create housing areas by providing taller buildings. Others create housing by building houses on a wider area of land. What solution is better?

High population density in metropolitans exerts significant pressure on housing infrastructure. The tendency brings several heated debates on whether constructing skyscrapers or building low-rise residential areas

by accommodating a large number of people, unlike low-rise residential areas which have less capacity. Many people claim that construction of these buildings requires an extra cost premium because of their need for sophisticated foundations, structural systems to carry high wind loads, high-tech mechanical, electrical, elevator, and fire-resistant systems. While it is true that constructing low-rises is less costly due to its low technical requirements, investing in tall building remains the wiser choice for urban areas. Since more buildings are synonymous with plenty of services that cover diverse needs
