Determining Optimal Building Height [PDF]

open access: yesUrban Studies, 2007
The paper examines how building height is determined in the absence of building height regulatory restrictions. A model is developed for determining optimal height using simple neo-classical economic analysis; this is then tested using empirical data from Hong Kong.

Construction cost and building height

Construction Management and Economics, 1999
A simple neoclassical production function model is used to determine the incremental cost of each floor as building height increases. This analytic method provides an alternative to earlier studies using computer simulation and more cumbersome attempts at measuring the cost variation directly.

The impacts of building height variations and building packing densities on flow adjustment and city breathability in idealized urban models [PDF]

open access: yesBuilding and Environment, 2017
Improving city breathability has been confirmed as one feasible measure to improve pollutant dilution in the urban canopy layer (UCL). Building height variability enhances vertical mixing, but its impacts remain not completely explored.

The influence of building height variability on pollutant dispersion and pedestrian ventilation in idealized high-rise urban areas [PDF]

open access: yesBuilding and Environment, 2012
Studies are still required to understand how rural/marine wind remove ground-level pollutants released uniformly in street networks of high-rise urban areas. The link between building height variability and pollutant removal process still remains unclear.

Developing a method to estimate building height from Sentinel-1 data [PDF]

open access: yesRemote Sensing of Environment, 2020
© 2020 Elsevier Inc. Building height is one of the key variables in studying anthropogenic activities and built environments in the urban system. However, the information of urban building height over large areas is still limited due to the lack of ...

Agglomeration economies and building height

Journal of Urban Economics, 1989
In a series of papers, \textit{M. Fujita} and \textit{H. Ogawa} studied a model where two agents (firms and households) compete for land. In those papers, the configuration of the city depends on transport costs supported by household and agglomeration economies between firms.
