Mile-High London Eco Tower by PopularArchitecture
London’s skyline would have a new addition in the form of the mile-high ‘eco-friendly’ tower, to be located in East London. The project is proposed by British firm Popularchitecture, in collaboration with Fluid Engineers and Pha Consul M&E specialists.
The tower would rise some 500 stories and, would contain schools and hospitals to shops and pubs, and everything else under the sun. The mile-high tower also illustrates the ecological advantages of living tall, as building up instead of out holds more people in a smaller footprint. This in turn reduces ecological impacts and the time needed to transport them.
This proposed giant skyscraper 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.

i think this is a bad idea. It would be at risk of falling due to height and also might attract terror attacks. Also i think it would take a big toll on economy because of the amount of money and supplies it would take to make it. and considering the height and the holes on the sides i think alot of people will commit suicide on it.

Seriously? That is both awesome and super-strange. Does it have to be around only small buildings? It should be designed in the city. Also, what is it? A hotel. Houses? A waste of space, loads of money and time? Not to mention all of the metal and glass. If it will be erected, they should at least make it from recycled can, bottles, etc.
