Things to talk about at home… Talk about where you live, what do you like about it? Is there anything you would change?

Would you like to live in architect, Luca Curci’s, city? What are the positives about the project?

What would your dream house look like? What features would it have?

An Italian architect is planning a city of

skyscrapers! Luca Curci said that he

wanted to build four

self-sufficient, interconnected towers

with trees, wildlife and farms.

He claimed that his buildings, for

200,000 people, would be the best way

to tackle population

growth, pollution and poverty. He says

his project, The Link, could save the

world and halt urban

sprawl. He says, “We need a sustainable

vision, my towers are designed to

encourage a sense of

community.”
