Vertical living has been widely adopted worldwide as a strategy to address land scarcity and promote sustainable land use. However, despite its prevalence, the need for well-designed social spaces in high-rise environments remains largely similar to that in landed housing. The lack of comprehensive research on the typologies and characteristics of social spaces in vertical living presents a critical gap, particularly in understanding how such spaces contribute to community well-being and healthy living. This study aims to investigate the role and typologies of social spaces in high-rise residential developments, focusing on their contribution to social interaction and neighbourhoods’ integration. A qualitative methodology was employed through a systematic review of scholarly articles, complemented by case studies of selected high-rise housing projects. The analysis highlights key design treatments and spatial characteristics that foster social interaction, inclusivity, and a sense of belonging among residents. Findings indicate that well-integrated social spaces not only enhance community cohesion but also contribute to residents’ overall quality of life. This research provides valuable insights for architects, designers, and industry stakeholders, offering guidelines for designing effective social spaces that can strengthen the liveability and sustainability of vertical housing developments.
