THE NEW SMALL VERTICAL CITY 103

and also for the 6 inter-city circulation routes and the
large “stadium”.

The large central core provides a gross surface of
517,000 m², the bases of the 36 other towers, 648.000 m²,
for the total of 1.165.000 m².

The remaining 1.835.000 m², to reach the total of
3 million m², are shared, from the 11th floor on between
the 43 towers (the 7 of the central core and 3 times 12
peripheral towers).

With 900 m² per level, one must distribute 2.039 floor
plates. One can thus realize the small city with the help
of the 43 towers, all 48 levels on a base of 10 levels, or all
58 levels aboveground. One can also foresee a “hill” city
in the shape of a “trumpet” formed by a central tower
of 170 floors surrounded by a first ring of 6 towers (2
per neighborhood) of 110 floors, then a second ring of 3
per neighborhood or 9 towers of 70 floors, in the third
ring, 4 per neighborhood or 12 towers of 50 floors, and
finally in the fourth ring, 5 per neighborhood, 15 towers
of 30 floors. Connections between the towers can be
organized at different levels according to needs.

Structure and infrastructure of the small vertical
city

The form of our small city enables constructive econo-
mies.

The layout of the towers, first of all, makes it pos-
sible to connect one to another by guy cables.
