When India Thinks Like This
Sky City 1000 is a future urban project aimed at helping put an end to major congestion and lack of green space in the Tokyo.
At this Time all Big Cities Like New York, Tokyo, Mumbai all have same Problem Of Land and day-by-day Population and crowd Increase. At all time Road, Trains are some time Jammed. In Tokyo Peoples waste some time for reaching to their office and from this Idea of Sky City also Develops.
The plan consists of a building 1,000 meters (3,280.8 feet) tall and 400 meters (1,312 feet) wide at the base, and a total floor area of 8 km² (3.1 miles² or 1976.8 acres). The design, proposed in 1989 by Takenaka Corporation, provides for 35,000 full-time residents and 100,000 workers. It comprises 14 concave dish-shaped "Space Plateaus" stacked one upon the other. The building would include residences, offices, commercial facilities, schools, theatres and other modern amenities. Sky City is like a City that have All facilities where people can work so time of waste is so less.
Apparently, the project is taken very seriously and Tokyo's only fire helicopter has been used in simulation tests to see what the danger would be if a fire were to break out in one of the buildings. Also, triple decker high speed elevators which would be used in the building and would contain up to 70 people are being designed in experimental labs outside Tokyo.
Although this project has gained more serious attention than many of its alternatives, it can be considered similar to projects such as X-Seed 4000 and Sir Norman Foster's Millennium Tower and, in ultra-high density, mixed use concept, to theories like Paolo Soleri's Arcology and Le Corbusier's Radiant City.
