Here is another plan for a super-high skyscraper, this time in Europe's very own London.
The eco-friendly building, which will be 500 stories high, could house 100,000 non-height-fearing people as well as, schools, hospitals, and stores. The unique aspect to this design, which will be situated in East London, is the giant open spaces or "holes" that will feature green public spaces, complete with gardens and trees. It's being built by UK company, Popularchitecture.
Are these mega-buildings actually breakaway, mini-planets?

Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Skyscrapers - The trend of constructing eco-friendly skyscrapers presents an opportunity for innovative sustainable building materials and energy-efficient designs.
2. Vertical Urbanism - The concept of vertical urbanism, with multi-functional buildings like Mile-High Eco-Tower, opens up possibilities for optimizing land usage and creating self-sustainable communities within a single structure.
3. Green Public Spaces - The rise in incorporating green public spaces in tall buildings, as demonstrated by the Mile-High Eco-Tower, offers potential for landscape architects, urban planners, and green technology companies to create innovations and sustainable solutions for urban environments.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Construction - The architecture and construction industry can capitalize on the trend of building ultra-high skyscrapers, like Mile-High Eco-Tower, by developing advanced engineering techniques and materials for constructing tall, environmentally friendly structures.
2. Real Estate Development - Real estate developers have the opportunity to utilize the concept of vertical urbanism and eco-friendly design to create sustainable, high-rise communities that offer mixed-use spaces for living, working, and leisure.
3. Sustainable Technology - The emergence of eco-friendly skyscrapers, such as Mile-High Eco-Tower, calls for sustainable technology solutions that can support energy-efficient operations, green spaces management, and waste reduction within these massive structures.
