A new book, “Placemaking with Tall Buildings,” by Kheir Al-Kodmany, professor of urban planning and policy, draws on research and case studies, including some from Chicago, to outline 10 key planning and design principles that address transforming isolated structures into vital parts of the city. The book also provides practical insights for cities grappling with housing demand, skyline debates and the future of downtowns in a post-pandemic era.
