Where will people live in the twenty-first century?
Read the text about Japan.
Text 1. Living in the skies
Louise Hidalgo considers life in the 21st century, with two-kilometre high buildings, and Japanese cities that touch the sky.
Imagine a building one third of the height of Mount Everest, built by robots and containing a whole city. Imagine you can walk out of your front door in a T-shirt and shorts on a cold winter's day and take a lift down 500 floor to school. Imagine you can see the sea a mile below you. Imagine you can never open a window. Imagine…
Well, if Japanese architects find enough money for their project, in the 21st century you'll be able to live in a building like that.
Ohbayashi Gumi has designed a two-kilometre high building. Acropolis, which will stand right in the middle of Tokyo Bay. Over 300,000 people will live in it. It will be 500 floors high, and in special lifts it will take just 15 minutes to get from top to bottom. Restaurants, offices, flats, cinemas, schools, hospitals, and post-offices will all just a few lift stops away. According to the architects Acropilis will be the first "city to touch the skies".
"When we get to the end of this century, Tokyo will have a population of over 15 million people," said design manager Mr Shuzimo. "There is not enough land in Japan. We are going to start doing tests to find the best place to build it. I hope people will like living on the 500th floor. Won't people want to have trees and flowers around them? We are going to have green floors, where children can play and office workers can eat their lunch-break sandwiches", explained Mr Shuzimo. What about fires? "If there is a fire, it will be put out by robots. I hope we'll get the money we need to build. As soon as we do, we'll start/ This will be the most exciting building in the world"
