If this project gets the green light, London’s skyline would have a new addition in the form of the mile-high ‘eco-friendly’ tower, to be located in East London. Towering 500 stories high, it is expected to house 100,000 people, in addition to having space for schools, hospitals and stores.
This proposed giant skyscraper by British firm Popular Architecture will create 12 new ‘villages’ in the sky and is three times larger than anything built in the capital. And for every 20 stories, there will be ‘holes’ that serve as public spaces containing botanic gardens, ice-skating rinks and swimming pools.
The whole idea of using minimal land to house a large number of people adds an ecological advantage to this project. For now though, this skyscraper remains a pipedream till an interested developer turns it into reality.
