HISTORY
ROME
In ancient Rome the insulae (singular insula) were large blocks of flats, where the lower and middle classes of Romans (the plebs) lived. The ground floor was used in pubs, shops and businesses with living space on upper floors. Ancient Rome insulae in Rome and other imperial cities rose to 10 floors and more , some with more than 200 steps. Several of Emperor Augustus (30 BC-14 st), tried to set limits of 2025 m of multi-storey buildings, but met with limited success. The lower floors are occupied usually by one of the branches or wealthy families, while the upper floors were leased to the underclass. Oxyrhynchus Papyri Surviving show that the seven-story buildings that were in provincial cities, as in the 3rd Century AD in Roman Egypt Hermopolis .
EGYPT

In the 10th Century AD, describes it as Al-Muqaddasi look like minarets, and stated that the majority of the population lived in these buildings Fustat several floors, each catering for more than 200 people. In the 11th Century, Nasir Khusraw describes some of these towers up to fourteen residential apartments with roof gardens on the top floor with oxen, water wheels for irrigation. In the 16th Century the flow of high-rises and Cairo, where the two lower floors for stories and commercial storage and several of them are rented to tenants were.
SCOTLAND
In Scotland, Medium is not pejorative connotations of the term is done elsewhere, and refers only to a block of apartments that share a common central staircase and no lift, especially those built before 1919. Houses were and are inhabited by a wide range of social classes and income groups. Century 19 Real Estate was the predominant type of new homes in the industrial cities of Scotland, but was very often in the Old Town of Edinburgh in the 15th Century, when they were ten or eleven storeys high and in one case fourteen floors. Built in sandstone and granite, real estate usually four fifty-seven Scottish stories, with three fifty-eight levels in each plant. (In contrast, industrial cities of England tended to terraced house for back-to-back brick.) Scottish Homes are built in terraced houses, and each entry in a block is like a narrow staircase known or both to the common corridor of houses. Stairs and landings are usually the common areas and the residents turn to traditional alternately good soils and Aberdeen, in particular, the common laundry room changed in the Going Green (garden or patio) to use. It is now common for the cleaning of the common ways of existence by an agent or factor signed up.
Today's homes are a wide range of social types, including young professionals, retired seniors bought, and homeowners often hire students after leaving the residence operated by the institution. The National Trust for Scotland Tenement House Museum Glasgow offers a vision of the lives of slum dwellers.
Many multi-story towers were built in the United Kingdom after the Second World War. Some of them have been demolished and than by low-rise buildings or housing estates in Scotland is known, often modern interpretations of the farm.
In Glasgow, where higher concentration of Scotland's homes that are in the neighborhood, urban renewal projects in the years 1950, 1960 and 1970 in the slums of the city, which consisted mainly of old houses 19th Century can be terminated where large extended families living together in cramped conditions. Were replaced by skyscrapers that within decades, made famous by crime and poverty. Glasgow Corporation made many efforts to improve the situation, the most success with the founding of the city improvements that have been deleted in the slums of the old city and replace it with what we see as a traditional high street, which remains an impressive landscape . (Cleland Consulting and testimony were part of that system.) Helping the government came after the First World War, when the Housing Act sought to provide fit for heroes Homes. Garden District areas, based on English models, were created as Knightswood. They were too expensive, so a modern house, three stories high, slate roof and stone veneer, was re-introduced and began a program of the slums in the bright areas such as Calton and Garngad.
After World War II, the ambitious plans, Bruce plan called for the complete evacuation of the slums to modern housing estates, medium height on the edge of the town. However, the central government has refused to finance it, rather in the city to a series of new towns] depopulate Again, economic considerations, caused much of the future New Town Services in these areas were never built. These houses, called plans , should be seen as a failure, and many, as were Castlemilk sleep far away from the center of the city without amenities, shops and bars ( desert with windows Billy Connolly once). High-rise living has also started with the ambition of light - the High Moss always desirable - (19501954), but to fight through more economic pressure. Many rounds later, poorly educated and economically developed and their anonymity has caused social problems.
In 1970 showed a team from the University of Strathclyde, that the old cases are fundamentally sound and was given new life with new plumbing and kitchens and bathrooms] Corporation acted on this principle has, for the first time in 1973 at the Old Swan Corner, Pollokshaws . Since then, housing action zones were set to renew neighborhoods called. Later the households benefited from state support, cleaning the stone, revealing a honey-colored sandstone behind the so-called tenemental gray facades. The policy of house demolitions is considered short, waste and largely failed. Many of the worst housing in Glasgow have a comfortable accommodation was in 1970 and renovated in 1980 [17] and the policy applies to the demolition as a destroys a good example of a universally admired have architectural style. The Glasgow Housing Association took possession of the property from City Council on March 7, 2003, and began 96 million range and demolition program to remove and destroy many buildings.

Residential buildings that border the residential area of East 57th Street, between First Avenue and Sutton Place in New York. In the 10th Century building that houses people in Gran Chaco, several rooms, some with over 900 rooms in the region of Chaco Canyon in what is now northwestern New Mexico.
Impasse man bears his name in vain. Until a little over a year of their dark caves houses a colony of blind beggars, tenants of a blind landlord, old Daniel Murphy, the children know from the neighborhood, if you've never heard about the President of the United States. Old Dan made a fortune - he told me once four hundred thousand dollars - your street and in nearby houses, only to grow blind himself in old age, in the end share the head fate of the unfortunate whose luck has stubbornly refused to better could increase their wealth. Even if the Board of Health forced the end to distribute repair and cleaning of the worst of the old building, the tenants and threatened to close the doors behind them, the work against the protests of the older people was carried out. He appeared personally before the Commission to state its case and is typical of his case. I have my will, he said. My monument stands waiting for me on Calvary. I'm on the edge of the grave, blind and helpless, and now (in this case, the pathos of the appeal was swept in a burst of angry indignation) do you build and skin, the skin? These people are not suited to live in a nice house. You can go wherever you can, and my starting position. Despite the real fear of the complaint to see the really fun that his anger was provoked less by the tenants for luxury waste by distrust of their own class, the constructor was. I knew intuitively what's waiting.
The result showed that Murphy had their tenants properly measured.
Dakota (1884) was one of the buildings to luxury apartments in New York first. Most, however, remained at home.
