Seeing how fast people are moving into cities and how much the price of a square foot costs, it only makes sense that we look at building up. We need to look at utilizing all the space we have in our large cities. While I was visiting Japan I saw many unique structures that saved on space by building on top of one another. For example, some of the highways the buses drove on were actually double decker. Building a farm as a skyscraper makes sense and provides food without traveling outside the cite. We could also attach wind turbines and solar panels on this skyscraper to gather energy.

Skyscraper Farms are just the next step, they provide harvesting for both food and energy. We need to start thinking urban planning in cities like New York where 1000sft Condo, 1 bedroom 1 bath in Chelsea costs 1 million dollars! We need to build solar panels and wind turbines on top of these skyscraper Farms as well as produce.

Wired Magazine had a great article about Skyscraper farms
