Reduced Infrastructure Expansion, Preservation of Green Spaces, Forest Conservation.

Multi-story buildings also contribute to reducing urban sprawl. By building upwards, cities can increase density and create more compact and sustainable communities. advantages of Multi-storage building: More compact layout. Less roof repairs. Less cost of land in rural areas and gravity can be employed. But some drawback also Due to the excessive population, there is an imbalance load on municipal services like water supply, sewage, electricity, etc.

Rohit Kumar Multistory buildings generally have a smaller land footprint compared to traditional urban sprawl, which can help preserve agricultural land and forests. By building vertically rather than horizontally, multistory buildings allow for more compact and efficient land use. This leaves more space available for agriculture and forests, reducing the need to convert additional land for development.

Urban sprawl, on the other hand, typically involves low-density development that spreads across large areas. This often leads to the conversion of agricultural land and forests into roads, housing developments, and commercial areas. The fragmentation of natural habitats can have negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services provided by forests.

In addition to their smaller footprint, multistory buildings also offer opportunities for rooftop gardens or green spaces that can contribute to urban agriculture or provide habitat for local wildlife.

However, it's important to note that the overall impact of any type of development depends on various factors, such as population density, infrastructure planning, transportation systems, and resource management practices. Simply building multistory buildings does not guarantee sustainable preservation of agricultural land or forests if other unsustainable practices accompany them (e.g., excessive water consumption or energy usage). Comprehensive planning, considering multiple aspects, is essential for achieving sustainable urban development while preserving valuable agricultural lands and forests.

Baridanu Hope Mbube Thank you very much ma'am for your valuable insights.

It is possible to enhance the preservation of natural landscapes and encourage more sustainable urban development by making better use of available land, protecting agricultural land and forests, minimizing habitat damage, and lowering the overall ecological and carbon footprints of urban areas. So multistory buildings have positive impact on the preservation of agricultural land and forests compared to traditional urban sprawl.

multi-story buildings generally appear more favorable to protecting agricultural land and forests than traditional urban sprawl, provided that this is part of overall urban planning aimed at sustainability.

Thank you for your valuable insights.

quite significantly, but other factors such as parking space if not controlled will impact significantly

Mhlengi Nkiwa Aww thank you for such insights.
