Skyscraper city
Type
Skyscrapers started to emerge in the
cities like Chicago and New York towards the end of 19th century. Over the century has passed since, and
the skyscrapers became the norm for the city centers throughout the world. The
cities citizens’ number is higher and higher every year. For the first time in
history it was reported in 2008 that more than 50% of population lives in the
cities. According to the scientists forecast this percentage will rise to 75%
in 2050. Fifties years ago there were only eight metropolises with the number
of citizens more than five millions. Today there are 64 cities like that, 26 of
them are 10 millions citizens and the record holder city – Tokio is inhabited
by 34 millions people. The problems of overpopulation and the lack of space are
getting to be more and more important. For years we have been trying to arrange
our apartments to find as much space as possible and when we decide to live in
a present - day city we automatically agree for a lack of this space. The
solution can be skyscraper proposed by us, the one which can completely change
the metropolis structure, one which will be practically a separate city. While
developing the model our main inspiration was Manhattan. The world highest
density of population (27300os/km2) is reported to be on the island in the
center of New York City. Under the metropolis there will be placed special balloons which will
gather warm air ‘given back’ by the overpopulated city. When the balloons reach
the critical mass they will push out the buildings placed above them. What if
the giant balloons are placed under the whole Central Park? The city zoning shapes the
form of our skyscraper. The center of the metropolis with the high rise
buildings will be the highest part of our skyscraper-city. The surrounded
buildings – a great gathering of culture and business, will create another
layer. The next layer will be made of housing estates and tower blocks. The
lowest layer will be a construction made of single-family-house estates which
usually are to be seen in the large cities suburbs.
