High rises have their own associations with mental illness. I don’t know if anyone has ever looked at pure altitude as possible effect.
- CrimsonCape 3y agoHigh-rise depression is caused by the architectural design. Rental apartments in a high rise are for-profit, and 99.9% of the time a developer is maximizing the rentable amount of square footage and minimizing the amount of non-rentable square footage. This eliminates all common spaces that might foster inter-personal interaction and relationships with your neighbors. Anecdotally, a 1:5 relationship is about ideal, for every x5 700 square foot apartments, there should be 700 square feet of common space. Think 5 doors attached to one courtyard that itself is about the size of an apartment. From a for-profit point of view, this is a waste of construction cost.
