Condominium and comparable legal architectures make vertical urban growth possible, but do we really understand the social implications of restructuring city land ownership in this way? In this book geographer and architect Nethercote enters the condo tower to explore the hidden social and territorial dynamics of private vertical communities. Informed by residents' accounts of Australian high-rise living, this book shows how legal and physical architectures fuse in ways that jeopardise residents' experience of home and stigmatise renters. As cities sprawl skywards and private renting expands, this compelling geographic analysis of property identifies high-rise development' s overlooked hand in social segregation and urban fragmentation, and raises bold questions about the condominium' s prospects.
