Problem
Environmental stress on inhabitants of tall buildings
Nature:
Where more people are crowded into cities, there are more buildings. As more land is built up, structures start getting taller in order to use vertical space, thus intensifying crowding, economic viability, transportation and service problems. This situation leads to environmental stress or discomfort in human beings occupying tall buildings, sometimes even to neuroses, delinquency, and violence.
