take this: The construction of vertical buildings has both pros and cons. I think that cons outweigh the pros and therefore vertical cities should not be constructed. This is because even though they would help reduce our carbon footprint and add more space for green area, it is prone to many risks such as viruses and natural disasters. Pros Vertical buildings have many pros. One of them is having multiple daily needs all in one building. For example, if you need to do some errands, you don’t have to drive all the way there, since you would have it in the building. This also decreases air pollution because there will be less need for driving or going out of the building. Another pro is that if there are more vertical towers, then that would mean less urbanization, and more space for green area. This would help the environment because plants absorb greenhouse gasses. Therefore, more vertical towers means more green area and more green area means less pollution. Cons Vertical buildings have many cons too. One of them is about the foundation. Vertical buildings can reach up to 180 floors and house up to about 25,000 people. This would be very tall and therefore needs a very strong foundation. If this foundation is not strong enough, then the whole building could collapse, and many of those 25,000 people living in the building could die. Another con is health conditions. Imagine a virus starts in an area of the building. Since people would not come out of the building so often, and living conditions are compact, then they would be exposed almost 24/7. This causes serious health issues and could also lead to several deaths. Another con is that someone who is claustrophobic might feel uncomfortable being in the vertical city. Architects have tried to solve this by making outdoor areas such as pools and garden areas. Also, another con could be that in case of an emergency, there would be little escape routes. For example, if there is a fire on the 50th floor, and you live on the 57th, then you would not be able to escape because of the fire spreading of the 50th. Another example of an emergency might be a tornado, hurricane, or earthquake. During an earthquake, there would be cracks forming on the ground and a lot of shaking. This might cause cracks in the foundation of the vertical city and even possibly cause it to cave in. During a hurricane, the heavy winds might knock down the vertical city because it is so tall. Lastly, during a tornado, it could be completely knocked down. If any of these disasters occur, there could be many people seriously hurt or even die. In conclusion, there are both pros and cons to vertical buildings. They conveniently have all of a persons basic needs there but they are still not fully safe for habitation.
