As we navigate the complexities of urban development in 2024, high-rise buildings play a key role in addressing the dual challenges of rapid urbanization and climate change. The global urban population is projected to increase by over half a billion by 2050, with number of megacities expected to grow from 44 today to 67 by 2050.

This unprecedented urban growth drives cities to reach new heights. Meanwhile, high-rise construction presents numerous challenges such as structural complexity, efficient vertical transportation, and critical fire and safety concerns. Sustainability efforts demand integrating energy-efficient and ecologically friendly systems to minimize environmental impact, alongside the necessity of regulatory compliance with evolving building codes.
