Living life in a High Rise Multi- dimensional society

Life when it began for human beings was difficult as they had limited means to live in large societies. Every person had to manage life in its intricacies by themselves. But life at that time though difficult was also very simple. There was no pressure of any sort. Necessities were simple. An animal skin to cover the body because of the weather conditions, enough food in the neighborhood so that you could hunt for food and a place nearby to spend the night in in case of weather extremes like heat, rain, snow and cold.

Gradually man realized the advantages of living life in a society. People started to understand that living life in a society was comparatively easier than going through it alone. Villages came up and then gradually cities and life became easier in one sense and more complicated in another sense.

Modern life has come full cycle. People are living in crowded cities and are trying to find their own havens of peace and fortitude.  There was a period when people used to build their homes in a place where they could grow their own food and also be near enough to other people who could alleviate their loneliness and also help out in case of emergencies like sickness or natural difficulties and calamities. Now since the populations of the cities have increased many-fold you can sense a change in the thinking of the humans in general.

Since the cities have become overcrowded people have started in terms of wanting to live in places where the surrounding societies are large but still not that big as to intimidate them with the numbers.

With land getting scarcer in the cities due to them becoming overcrowded a new trend has emerged in the housing sector. The rise of the so-called High-Rise residential communities.  The twenty first century has seen the prolific rise of High-rise residential accommodation in India. In the western countries this had existed for many decades.

As the real estate prices went up so too did the height of the buildings. IN India Mumbai is the city with the maximum number of tall residential buildings with the tallest being 78 floors.

What is life like living in such a high-rise society?

Living in such high-rise societies is a new phenomenon in India. What is life like in such a society and what are its advantages?

Well to put it simply life can maybe be very attractive or very confusing.  When we are living in such a society it has certain advantages.

• Life becomes secure because most of these buildings are built in closed societies with wide spread and elaborate security arrangements through out the compounds. You will rarely find thefts being committed in high rise societies with proper security arrangements.
• More social life is possible because of so many people living in closed space it is very much possible to find friends with same interests and inherent natures so as to build strong friendships.
• More social life as combined communities tend to celebrate festivals together
• More acceptability of each other’s religions and cultures
