Comprising two glass towers, the Tower C skyscrapers will soar to a height of nearly 400 meters. However, rather than its considerable height and undeniably elegant design, this project stands out due to its array of eco-friendly features. This [sleek skyscraper development](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muraba-veil) is set to feature aquaponic gardens on its terraces, smart lighting systems, rainwater harvesting stations and solar panels, making it a fine example of [sustainable design for the 21st century](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sudameris-plaza). Tower C is set to play host to offices, retail spaces, entertainment venues as well as a convention center and hotel, making this a place where Shenzhen residents and visitors can gather to engage with the best their city has to offer, all in a sustainable and green-focused development. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainable Skyscrapers:** Eco-friendly features such as aquaponic gardens and smart lighting systems create opportunities for design and innovation in eco-conscious architecture. - **Green Urban Development:** Sustainable and eco-friendly design opens opportunities for urban developers to create green-focused spaces. - **Smart Building Systems:** Integration of technological systems such as smart lighting and rainwater harvesting systems create opportunities for development of smart building infrastructure. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture & Urban Planning:** Integration of sustainable design elements create new opportunities in eco-conscious architecture. - **Real Estate & Property Development:** Green-focused developments offer new opportunities for property and real estate development. - **Technology & Renewable Energy:** Sustainable technology such as smart lighting and solar panels create opportunities for development of smart building infrastructure and renewable energy systems. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glass Facade Premium Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henderson-office.md) - [Ski Resort Crystalline Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trojena-ski-resort.md) - [Greenery-Filled Skyscraper Terrarium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrarium-cheongdam.md) - [Emirati-Inspired Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/symphony-tower.md) - [Low-Carbon Biomimetic Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonkin-liu.md) - [Eco-Conscious Slim Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muraba-veil.md) - [Sweeping Culture Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/river-culture-and-art-centre.md) - [Organic Striking Tower Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-leaves.md) - [Lotus Plant-Inspired Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-future.md)
