Mile-High London Eco Tower

The term “mile high” isn’t just for airplane action anymore- British firm Popularchitecture has proposed a mile-high eco-tower for London that’s sure to be just as exciting. At a full mile tall and housing over 100,000 people, this concept tower really is just that: a cool and uber-green concept. With 500 floors would contain schools and hospitals to shops and pubs, and everything else under the sun. While it will likely never be realized, the design does push our thinking forward.
