Why are skyscrapers built thin, instead of stacking 100 arenas on top of each other?
In: Engineering
It’s weird that some people are thinking that you’re proposing building wide instead of tall. An arena is at least one story tall, and 100 stories is already a very tall skyscraper. If it existed right now, it would be in the top 20 skyscrapers for number of above ground floors.
Anyway, ultimately it’s down to financing. Super tall skyscrapers are already incredibly expensive projects that sees a shockingly high failure rate due to running out of money, and sometimes not even enough money will come through for construction to start. Lots of barren plots and half built skyscrapers out there.
