Abstract

Urbanization has led to challenges such as resource strain and environmental degradation, prompting the need for innovative solutions. High-rise mixed-use developments offer a way to maximize land use efficiency, but traditional designs often neglect green spaces, leading to energy inefficiency and a lack of connection with nature. This paper discusses the role of plants, integration of plants and bioclimatic design principles in addressing urban challenges. This study explores the integration of plants and bioclimatic design principles in high-rise mixed-use developments. This paper also explains the fundamental principles and design considerations for high-rise buildings, focusing on structural systems, earthquake resistance, and wind load effects. In conclusion, integrating plants and bioclimatic design principles in high-rise mixed-use developments is important for creating sustainable and livable urban environments. By prioritizing green spaces and sustainable design practices, developers can contribute to a greener skyline and a more sustainable future.
