Eco Factor: Sustainable developed city to be made using recycled materials.
Designed by Deric Fourie, Dan Bernos, Michael Menuet and Pablo del Amo, the Tower City in Marseilles envisions the city of Marseilles as a stacked skyscraper that sits on water. The design calls for a city to be built on water, rather than spreading out with the rise in population.
The futuristic development is conceived to be built using salvaged materials from the old city and will be powered by renewable energy. With a population of over 1,600,000 and an urban density of 3500 per sq km, the city is in need of next-gen architecture that can be built using less land.
The proposed development will allow the inhabitants of the city to be close to nature and trees in an open space rather than being completely surrounded by urban sprawl for miles and miles.
