| dc.description.abstract | Rapid urbanization has led to an increase in demand for fresh agricultural goods and affordable housing, which has put Addis Ababa in a difficult urban position. In order to improve food security and sustainability, this study, "Harmony in Vertical Living: Innovative Solutions for Integrating Apartment Buildings and Vertical Farming in Addis Ababa," investigates the viability of incorporating vertical farming into residential complexes. The research assesses the technical, economic, social, and environmental issues of retrofitting new and existing apartment buildings with vertical farms through a combination of surveys, literature reviews, and design concepts. According to the research, this kind of integration can potentially save costs and promote sustainability while also optimizing land usage, lowering reliance on food imports, and improving air quality. In order to promote eco friendly surroundings, reduce waste, and encourage urban agriculture, the study suggests implementing vertical farming techniques in residential areas. The information offered aids citizens, decision-makers, and governmental organizations in advancing sustainable urban development and enhancing Addis Ababa's food accessibility.
