Shanghai faces a double crisis: overpopulation and urban sprawl. The Chinese are running out of room no matter how fast they build, so the city may implode. Under this crushing growth, Shanghai s economy, the health of its people, and the city s stability all lie in the balance. The solution could be building up, not out. And that could mean constructing the planet s tallest tower - at one mile high, it will be the world s first moving, breathing building. But to build it, engineers will have to overcome incredible obstacles and revolutionise the way we construct skyscrapers. Cable-less elevators would have to be invented, farms that grow inside buildings would be engineered, and windows that breathe and think for themselves could be created.
