3.3 Hypothetical project (Tokyo sky city)
Introduction
Tokyo sky city is a hypothetical architectural project of a super tall skyscraper with the height that of two third of a mile. It was proposed in year of 1989 by Takenaka Construction firm of Tokyo, during the height of Japanese asset price bubble. The main aim of the ambitious architects of the firm then was to change the world’s approach towards urban crowding and overpopulation in the megacities like Tokyo, Mexico city and others.

The city helps in making life easier by providing a city with in a city thereby making it dependent fully on technology. Though it would save time but it has lot of draw backs. As the city has a height of two third of a mile hence it is more prone to threats like terrorist attacks, fires, earthquakes etc. It will make people lazy and may lead to many diseases because of less physical work done by a body. But to solve this problem plateaus are made as recreational zones hence saved time can be utilized in a better and more efficient way. Also with its latest technologies, it would be the tallest building in the world, providing homes and jobs to so many
