Times Squared 3015

Times Squared 3015 is a really big building idea, more than a mile tall, meant to be built in New York City in the United States. It was not a real plan to build, but an idea for a design contest in 2015.

This huge tower would be like a whole town stacked up. It would have vertical farming to grow food, a place that feels like a beach, a small mountain range, a big stadium, a redwood forest, places to live, and offices where people work. Everything is built in blocks, with open spaces on the south side to catch sunlight.

People would move around using a big system of elevators. Only twelve big stops are made, and then smaller elevators or stairs take people to different parts of each block. There would also be fun places to shop and play, with stores like Apple, Best Buy, Target, Macy's, McDonald's, Starbucks, and Walmart. If it were ever built, it would be the world's tallest building, the first to be more than a mile high.
