The purpose of this study was to understand the genesis background and physical characteristics of Multi-Family Housing in the Western world, and to compare with our Housing Estate. Major findings of this study are as follows:
First, In the Western world high-rise housing has become the symbol of the deficiencies and failure of post-war public housing policies and management. A widely held view has emerged that post-war high-rise housing estates are the problem areas and slums of the 1980s and the 1990s.
Second, Multi-Family Housings are less popular than houses and possess a generally poorer reputation. Equally, however, Multi-Family Housings constitute such a high proportion of the local authority housing stock that they cannot be written off in favour of extensive demolition.
Finally, It is clear that Multi-Family Housings are vulnerable type of housing. Thus we want to improve a decent social climate under actual conditions, we have to focus on newly collective housing with high density.
