Abstract
This paper is drawn from some new research I am getting underway on the fortunes
of the highrise. I should say that this paper is largely speculative and has benefited
greatly from discussions with my co-researcher on this project, Stephen Cairns who is
in architecture at The University of Edinburgh. I invite you today to speculate with
me about the fortunes of the highrise in the contemporary city
