Tokyo population reaches record 12.56 million. Sky City 1000 is a possible future urban project aimed at helping put an end to major congestion and lack of greenspace in the Tokyo, Japan ward area.
The proposal consists of a building 1000 metres (3280.8 feet) tall and 400 metres (1312 feet) wide at the base, and a total floor area of 8 km² (3.1 miles² or 1976.8 acres). The design, proposed in 1989, provides for 35,000 full-time residents and 100,000 workers. Apparently, the project is taken very seriously and fire simulation tests had been conducted to see what the danger would be if a fire were to break out in one of the buildings. Also, triple decker high speed elevators which would be used in the building and would contain up to 70 people are being designed in experimental labs outside Tokyo.
