Vertical vs. Horizontal Cities: Which is better?
It's almost ten, and you have to get across the tunnel that goes to your building, so move quickly. Welcome to the vertical world, where a huge gate closes behind you. A city is a place where people grow their own food and driving is prohibited. Downstairs, your boss resides as well. What appears to be a futuristic scene is actually an old utopia from the late 1960s, when building a city with your neighbors seemed like a great way to deal with the issue of overcrowding.

High-quality agriculture facilities are essential for every archaeology as people consume food. Starbucks, have a peek at those incredible vertical gardens. Minority Report: Before you pack your bags, living in archaeology seems like a good idea. These high-tech buildings would be constructed in total isolation, surrounded by only raw nature, organic food, and no traffic jams. You would also wake up to a wide, breath-taking view of nature outside your apartment.
