What are the residential towers?
Residential towers are extremely high high -rise buildings dedicated primarily to providing live accommodation and sometimes for parking for residents. Sometimes it is also called Tower Blocks, Multi-Welling Units (MDU) or High-Town Fallow Houses. Unlike many skyscrapers, which are in offices and other businesses, residential towers are dedicated to residences, although they can have a trade or two and several offices. Building residential towers is one way to create more living space, especially in a crowded urban environment. Building some skyscrapers to deal with the needs of housing after the bombing of World War II in England was often considered to be a rapid way to solve housing problems. In the US, the first Castle Village residential tower was opened in New York in 1939. Some of the first residential towers built in the US have become quite popular and well maintained. Others were specially designed to help people who need low -income housing.
mNoho projects of residential flats in public social conditions that were built became a huge failure, resulting in slum and high degree of violent crimes and drug use. In response, the US is now in the process of demolishing some of the worst residential towers because they are in such a state of disintegration. Commercial residential towers have been much better because they are designed to make profits. Therefore, interest in maintenance is higher.
especially popular are those residential towers that have luxury apartments and accommodation and attract urban residents with large incomes. Many people actually own their residences in residential towers and participate in dwellings to keep buildings in excellent shape. Due to the high monthly maintenance and/or fees of the homeowner, ownership of residence in the residential tower, do the same freight, no more than to own a free -standing home.
In England, the popularity of residential towers decreased significantly when part of Ronan Point Tower collapsed in 1968, just a few weeks after people moved to the building. The collapse was caused by the explosion of gas, and unfortunately it took the lives of four people and injured another 17. With safer construction techniques, the United Kingdom recorded a new interest in the construction of new residential towers, especially because it moves in the resolution of housing in the urban environment.
