caused by natural hazards. Admittedly, there are some basic benefits for us living in vertical cities.

Firstly

such

as New York and Shanghai. Not only can these grand towers accommodate more residents and workers with a limited supply of land at a reasonable price, but they

also

provide ease of access to everything,

Besides

,

due to

the fact that the majority of the community lives in a relatively small area, public transportation,

Nevertheless
