This paper focuses on introducing Sustainable Vertical Urbanism (SVU) as an approach for designing hybrid buildings and upgrading the public realm, making full use of the vertical dimension in hyper density cities. Mixed use tall buildings offer greater potential for contributing to the city economy, vitality and public interaction, compared to closed single-use glassy towers. Mixed use buildings bring new challenges in planning, morphology and technology. Unusual functions can be included in tall buildings such as vertical education , vertical public realm, vertical health care and vertical farming, plus integration with public transport. SVU is a new approach for densification of the city, coping with the pressures of urbanization, transport connectivity, environmental urban health; SVU can change people attitudes to living, working and enjoying culture in the city.
