Challenges of urban congestion in growing cities of developing countries have steered the evolution of high rise complexes which are significantly distinct in character with the traditional planning and vernacular architecture of old residential settlements particularly in historical cities like Jaipur. During the past decade the shift in the urban population from old city of Jaipur to newly constructed mid or high rise residential complexes has been merely apparent but might be huge in future times .People shifted to high rise residential units have been experiencing an altogether different lifestyle to what they used to have while living in the old city. Apart from the above, city's growing economy too had, if not active but passive, impact on the cultural and social values of traditional city. However on the other hand it is evident that trend of shifting to high rise in such cities is still not been highly accepted. The study aims to investigates following aspects- ● The ingredients of architecture in those low or midrise housing complexes in old city of Jaipur which catalyzed development of this enriched cultural heritage. ● Impacts of urban sprawl over decongestion of city. ● The trends of modern day lifestyles which are not catered in traditional housing complexes of old city. ● In the high rise housings-how does built environment caters to the socio - cultural needs of inhabitants in contrast to living in old ‘havelis’ of city (supplemented with suitable examples). ● The aspects which still impede living in high rise complexes.
