Abstract

Tall buildings as a new form of housing in contemporary growing cities can have many positive and negative effects on cities. Knowing these effects and controlling them can help improve the quality of cities. The expansion of urbanization in the contemporary era and as a result the role of tall buildings as housing has many important consequences both from an environmental point of view and from an economic and social point of view. Considering that housing is a complex phenomenon that requires local studies, knowing the impact of tall buildings helps solve problems such as housing and environmental, social, and economic problems. The research method is a comparative analysis between the impact of tall buildings and middle-rise buildings. This comparative analysis compares the results in two main climatic and social sectors. The methods used to study urban spaces can be divided into two general categories. The first category focuses on urban users' behavior, most of which are qualitative and usually observational and descriptive approaches. The second category is mostly simulation and computation modeling which examine the physical features such as surrounding walls, edges, and microclimate. In this research, the wind flow in the desired site was investigated based on different wind directions. In the continuation of the research, which is supposed to examine the shading and thermal conditions as well as the behavior of the users of these sites, we will try to answer the question if there is a relationship between these variables. And the height of buildings and what positive or negative effects the presence of people in the spaces around tall buildings have.
