The vertical sprawl
KARACHI: It used to be a major lifestyle shift to be living in an eight or 10-storey apartment building.
However, imagine the change one needs to adjust to now with all these new buildings not stopping at 10 or so floors even. Even looking up at them makes one dizzy. Wherever you go you find a tall building under construction with those yellow construction cranes for carrying building material higher and higher. And if there is one building coming up somewhere, look around and there will be another one close by. And it is very likely that they will be competing, going one up on the other.
