المشاريع السكنية العمودية في مدينة الموصل بين المعايير وواقع الحال

Abstract

The era of vertical housing in the city of Mosul is considered relatively recent compared to the developed world, although what was prevalent and still is the horizontal model, and the goal of vertical housing is to limit the urban expansion that most cities are witnessing, especially third world cities, and thus there is an economy in residential lands as well as the services that are provided to these residential stores, and that vertical housing is represented by two types: low-rise vertical housing, which rises to a limit of five floors, and these buildings do not use automatic elevators. The other type is high-rise residential buildings in which there is a need for automatic elevators. The basic designs of all the major cities (Baghdad, Mosul, Basra, Kirkuk) that were prepared in the seventies of the last century gave some attention to vertical housing, as the basic design of the city of Mosul stressed the need for the percentage of residential units of the vertical housing type to be 15% of the total.
