What makes living in a tower block attractive?

The high-rise apartment block was unpopular for a long time and was not the focus of the Viennese housing industry. In other metropolises, however, the high-rise residential building was already in vogue and clearly set itself apart from the previous image of a housing alternative for socially disadvantaged social classes. The question now arises as to what brought about this change. The previous chapters have already explained that the majority of respondents could well imagine living in a high-rise building as a residential alternative. The location and attributes such as the view play a major role here. Even if the aggregation of many people in a confined space is seen as a disadvantage, some of those surveyed see the anonymity as an advantage. this is precisely where the architects of the modern era come in. They want to use new types of architecture to take away the image of high-rise buildings as anonymous and dirty tower blocks. Modern high-rise buildings should reflect a successful symbiosis of the flair of the metropolis, the individuality of their residents and their desire for privacy. The result is not a mass-produced product, but a variety of flat types for the different requirements of residents - whether for families with children, older couples or singles.
