Vertical farming: Does it really stack up? | The Economist
“Agriculture: Growing crops in vertical farms in the heart of cities is said to be a greener way to produce food. But the idea is still unproven.”

New York CITY - Well judging by the green surroundings, are they expecting to build it in Central Park or something?!

A vertical Theme Park?
Who would have thought. In a time where urban sprawl is an issue and the amusement parks of the 20th century were based in the suburbs, with giant heat collecting asphalt car parks and rides spread over huge areas of land, we need to think about urban density and the fact that many millions of people actually live in major, dense built up areas, across the world and can’t afford to live nor travel to the suburbs - especially in automobile oriented cities such as Los Angeles in North America.
The picture above is an idea for a vertical theme park that could be constructed in Manhattan.
