@very-rusty saidIn Sweden, five stories or more. We call them 'höghus' (high-house) or 'flervåningshus' (multi-storey house).
I believe we would call them apartment buildings or high rises here in Canada.

@the-gravedigger saidIndividuals and families that may have been susceptible to such problems often ended up in tower blocks [when high density/poor quality inner-city housing was demolished and its residents relocated], and then those kinds of personal and social problems were often exacerbated by that 'high rise' environment.
Did tower blocks turn people into knife wielding junkies and booze hounds or did those sort of people just get put there ?
One of the things I keep coming across when I look at this is that a sense of community is hardly able to survive or prosper when a community is moved into a tower block, or worse still, when a few thousand strangers are moved into one.
