Vertical Cities and Agriculture

Introduction

With cities housing the majority of the world's population, there is a rising need to find sustainable

methods for food production within cities. Vertical cities, which stack buildings vertically to maximize

land utilization, may offer a viable answer to this challenge. Food can be produced locally and sustainably

by incorporating agriculture into these vertical structures, decreasing the need for long-distance

transportation and the related carbon emissions. This literature review evaluates the present status of

study on vertical cities and agriculture, including the benefits, problems, and possibilities for future

development.

Benefits of Vertical Cities and Agriculture

Vertical agriculture has been found to provide a number of advantages. Firstly, by adopting controlled

environments such as hydroponics or aeroponics, it enables year-round food production independent of

climate or weather conditions. Second, it lowers the need for food delivery from rural areas, lowering

carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. And then it decreases the usage of pesticides and herbicides

since the confined environment of vertical farms makes pests and illnesses easier to control. Finally,

vertical farms can be built in urban settings, shortening the distance between food production and

consumption and increasing access to fresh and healthy foods for city dwellers (Gagliardi, Geronazzo, &

Scarpellini, 2016).

Challenges of Vertical Cities and Agriculture

Irrespective of the potential advantages of vertical agriculture, some issues need to be tackled. To start

off, the cost of building and maintaining vertical farms is considerably higher than that of traditional

agriculture, especially in terms of energy use. Second, the types of crops that can be grown in vertical

farms are limited since some plants require more space than others. Furthermore, the technology and

infrastructure required for vertical agriculture are still in development and are not widely available.

Lastly, there are concerns about vertical agriculture's scalability, particularly in meeting the needs of large

urban populations (Wong, Tan, & Chen, 2017),

Current State of Research

Research on vertical cities and agriculture has primarily focused on feasibility studies and case studies of

existing vertical farms. Despommier (2010) argues that vertical farms have the potential to feed a

significant portion of the world's population, but more research is needed to determine their scalability

and economic feasibility. Several case studies have been conducted on vertical farms in cities around the

world, including The Plant in Chicago (The Plant, n.d.) and Sky Greens in Singapore (Sky Greens, n.d.).

These studies have shown that vertical farms can be successful in providing fresh, healthy food to urban

populations, but that there are still many challenges to be addressed.

Future Directions

Vertical cities and agriculture have enormous potential, but much work need to be done before they can

be considered feasible options for sustainable food production in urban contexts. Future research should

focus on the development of more efficient and cost-effective vertical agriculture technology, as well as

the viability of scaling up vertical farms to meet the needs of big metropolitan populations. Authorities

should aim to foster the growth of vertical agriculture by measures such as tax breaks or subsidies in the

hopes of encouraging more widespread usage of this approach (Grewal & Grewal, 2012).
Conclusion

Vertical cities and agriculture may be able to address the growing need for urban sustainable food

production. While there are still many issues to address, such as cost, scalability, and technological

limitations, the potential benefits of vertical agriculture are considerable. Vertical farms could become an

important tool for guaranteeing food security and sustainability in cities throughout the world with

additional research and development.

The Grand Hyatt Manila is a luxury hotel located in the Bonifacio Global City area of Manila,

Philippines. It is a high-rise building that stands at 318 meters tall, making it one of the tallest buildings in

the country. The building was designed by the global architecture firm, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill

(SOM), and was completed in 2017.

One of the most notable building factors of the Grand Hyatt Manila is its height. The building's

impressive height provides guests with stunning views of the surrounding city and the bay area. However,

tall buildings like the Grand Hyatt Manila are subject to unique challenges, such as wind loads and

structural stability. The building features a reinforced concrete core and perimeter columns, with steel

outriggers at various levels to provide additional lateral stiffness. This structural system is designed to

withstand high wind loads and seismic forces, which are common in the Philippines. It was constructed

using a top-down construction method, which allowed for the simultaneous construction of the building's

superstructure and foundation. This method helped to speed up the construction process and minimize

disruptions to the surrounding area. The building's façade is primarily composed of double-glazed, low-E

coated glass panels, which provide excellent thermal insulation and solar control. The glass panels are

supported by a series of vertical and horizontal aluminum mullions and transoms, which create a sleek

and modern appearance. The Grand Hyatt Manila features energy-efficient mechanical and electrical

systems, including a high-efficiency HVAC system, LED lighting, and a building management system

(BMS) that controls and monitors the building's energy usage. The building includes several sustainable

features, such as a green roof, rainwater harvesting system, and low-flow plumbing fixtures. These

features help to reduce the building's environmental impact and improve its long-term sustainability.
