You might have seen this futuristic concept for a hyper-dense, vertical-stacked city with all of the urban and green amenities of a conventional ground-based city when it was released back in 2011. The concept has taken on a new dimension with a super cute parallax animation (a collaboration between WOHA Architects and Obilia) bringing the conceptual city to life:
This conceptual scheme envisages a high-density (100,000 people per square kilometer!) tropical city of the future which achieves a development intensity four times that of the centre of Manhattan or Hong Kong, with ample public spaces and amenities. This is acheived by using skyscrapers as city-scale ‘columns’ which support multiple ‘new ground levels’ which could host parks, recreation, industry, horizontal transport systems and even urban farming.
Read more about this conceptual project at WOHA.net or in WOHA’s latest book, Garden City Mega City. It’s also been featured in the Channel NewsAsia documentary, Futuropolis (watch it on online)!
