To create a vertical ecosystem of hybrid urban forms to enhance imageability. This paper proposes a transformative
approach to elevate the imageability of cities through a fusion of innovative urban forms, vertical ecosystems, and
sustainability principles. Drawing inspiration from theories of vertical urbanism and universal design, the research
emphasizes the strategic utilization of vertical space to optimize land use in densely populated areas. The approach
strategically suggests constructing new high-rises on existing risk-prone structures slated for demolition. The design
incorporates an elevated green area functioning as a recreational zone, fostering a healthier and more sustainable urban
environment. The paper emphasizes Transit-Oriented Development in the design process, aiming to integrate public
transportation with urban development to reduce private vehicle dependency, promote sustainable mobility, and enhance
accessibility. The objective is to craft a dynamic urban experience that encourages connectivity and a sense of belonging
within the existing fabric.
