It seems certain that cities in the future will have to change. They cannot go on developing as they are at present(目前). Because the world’s population is increasing, there will be more people in the cities of tomorrow. It may not be possible for any family to live in a house with land around it.

His idea is to build great skyscrapers. Each building would be three kilometers high. In this skyscraper city about 250,000 people would live. They would work and spend their free time in it. They would not need to leave the city unless they wanted to. They would be about to move about in the city by a transport system(运输系统) controlled(控制) by computers. Each skyscraper city would be joined to other skyscraper cities by underground tunnels(通道) One of the highest buildings in the world is the Empire State Building in New York.
