The diagram below illustrates the relative average building height distribution we expect to observe over the next 15 years in suburbs surrounding the city, showing Brisbane CBD at the centre and Paddington at the circles' edge. This progressive increase in height is a direct result of the rising population of Brisbane, the desire for citizens to reside/work at Brisbane's centre, and declining usable land area to place these developments.

By looking at diagram below, will see that living in Paddington is hardly affordable. It seems that in the next several years, gentrification would force people to move out from this area....
STATISTICAL AVERAGES
 |
In the 2006 Australian Census, 7,625 people considered Paddington the place they most likely call home. The average person was a youthful 31 years of age, and they had a very average weekly gross income of around $729 per week.

For renters, the average rent in Paddington was around $280 a week. In terms of employment,66.24% of people in Paddington were considered a part of the workforce. Taking into account the wages and expenses of the people in Paddington in 2006, we would consider them to be feeling quite ecstatic.

Question:
What is the solution? How we can make housing and retail affordable in the future for suburban Paddington?
Answer:
Designing and implementing mixed use building developments
But:
Designing multi-purpose buildings require more space
So:
We could have 'GREEN' VERTICAL VILLAGES (as seen below) to respond the various community needs.A multi-functional high-rise building with a deep floor plan which could be more sustainable in terms of their design, their operation and their impact on the community.
