Never before have so many
skyscrapers been under construction all over the world at once. A new
generation of modern skyscrapers has been designed to help revive city centers,
spare the climate and check urban sprawl.
Building "green” has now
become an economic necessity, most especially in Asia’s burgeoning
megalopolises. The key question here is whether it is possible to build a
high-rise that is both green and efficient. The first certified sustainable
office high-rise is currently going up in Panama City. From Vertical Farming in
New York City to the "Garden City” of Singapore, environmental skyscrapers
are swiftly becoming one of today’s key technologies.
