Floor area ratio refers to the total sum area of the buildings on a specific region to the size of the land of that region. Floor Area Ratios Transfer therefore refers to the change of ownerships rights to the next person. Architectures are increasingly finding it more convenient to use this model as a modern building design especially where the government has strict regulations controlling the city planning. The role of the government should be to create more opportunities of this nature to act as an incentive to the investors to continue putting more resources in the real estate industry. In countries like Japan, china, and some parts of the United States of America where growth in population has become tremendous, there is a gradual downturn in the traditional methods of city planning. (Meriam 2004) When transferring a building property floor area ratios are important in that the acquirer will be provided with an avid knowledge of the extensive area the property occupies and that in case of any eventuality like litigation the owner will have to make appropriate references without doubt. A building design with floor Area Ratio is more flexible than the one built with fixed length, height, and width. This ensures that the floor area correlates well with other elements in the zoning like the total area for parking that may be required or the partitions, number of units required for residential purpose and etc. (Meriam 2004) The floor area ratios can also be used to severely restrict the amount of construction required in an area. This will guide the architecture throughout the building process and therefore minimize any extra costs that may be associated with poor building design. To the broader sense it will confine the architecture exclusively to the identified area and avoid unnecessary confusion with the neighboring environment. A good building design should be flexible enough to incorporate all aspects of change inherent in the process right from its inception to completion; this is only achieved by adopting the Floor Area Ratios. However this design may suffer from the following drawbacks: During the transfers of unused floor areas from one site of the existing building to the main site, care needs to be taken especially on zoning. If this is not done then excessive transfer may lead to un-proportional building i.e. out of scale. When this happens the architecture will need to spend extra cost for correction or redesign the new building. This is time consuming as well as discouraging. This explains why the Floor Area Ratios Transfer model is still unpopular in some countries in then world. (Lee 2) Another problem is that most sites overlap zoning, the development regulation for these sites are very confusing and therefore resulting to abolition of dissimilarity between zoning districts, which leads to production of oversized buildings. This is also additional expenditure on its own. It’s also believed that many public spaces allocated for zoning has been successful, but extra floor areas for housing courts and certain other public places have always produced big buildings devoid of reasonable benefits to the public. This implies that the public gains
