This paper develops a more diverse and multi-dimensional agenda for understanding and researching urban
verticality. In particular, it argues for vertical geographies that encompass more than issues of security and
segregation and are not necessarily framed by the three-dimensional politics of Israel/Palestine identified by
some commentators. In opening up a wider world of vertical urbanisms, the paper outlines three key
approaches: close attention to where urban verticality is theorised and the relationship between power and
height, the importance of ethnographic detail to emphasise more everyday verticalities and disrupt top-down
analytical perspectives, and geographical imaginations that carefully attend to the myriad spatial entanglements
of the three-dimensional city.
