This 220-storey building will be home to 30,000 people and might just change the way cities are built.<\/p>\n

Sky City, has just received approval from the Chinese government and is ready to be built. What makes the building affordable is the speedy construction time: the building will use prefabricated modules and be built in just seven months.<\/p>\n

Set in Changsha, China, Sky City will reduce CO2 emissions by more than half the average. The building will stretch 838 meters into the sky and be resistant to a magnitude nine earthquake.<\/p>\n

The architects behind the project also have plans for a massive 636-storey building.<\/p>\n
