Social Problems in High-Rise Living
Social Isolation and Loneliness
WHAT
Consistently identified as a primary negative consequence and the main social problem in high-rise living (Ling Ser et al., 2018)
High-rise living is associated with low levels of social interaction, social cohesion, and social support (Kemperman & Mohammadi, 2025)
WHY
Residents have fewer friendships because they rarely meet others outside of brief encounters in elevators or lobbies (Lee et al., 2024)
Trips back home are optimized for efficient, personalized travel from the car directly to the dwelling, providing little chance for social relations (Lee et al., 2024, Ling Ser et al., 2018))
HOW
Mental Health and Well-being
WHAT
lead to a deterioration in the mental health of residents (Wu & Ge, 2020)
feelings of anxiety and depression (Lee et al., 2024)
WHY
Loneliness itself is a subjective, negative emotion defined by a mismatch between desired and actual social relationships
Safety and Security
WHAT
Insecurity and fear are major concerns in high-rise environments (Ling Ser et al., 2018)
WHY
High-rise living can evoke unsettling fear, such as being trapped in a fire or falling/jumping from the buildings (Ling Ser et al., 2018)
High-rise living has also historically been linked to deficient supporting facilities and a lack of monitoring that leads to an increased crime rate (Wu & Ge, 2020)
residents share common facilities and dwellings with a huge number of people, including strangers (Ling Ser et al., 2018)
Impacts on Children and Family
WHAT
often criticized for its effects on children, potentially leading to delayed child development (Lee et al., 2024, Ling Ser et al., 2018)
