Sky City is just the beginning
Just found more reasons behind why Sky City is likely to be built.
Broad Sustainable Building is part of Broad Group which is highly respected around the world. Here's a very basic overview of their company

China's Changsha unveils US$130bn investment plan to boost economy
Submitted by mark.feng on 27 July 2012 - 5:57pm"Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan Province, unveiled a package of infrastructure and industry projects Thursday that would require total investments of 829.2 billion yuan ($130.2 billion), a move to stimulate local economic growth, Global Times reported."

Changsha plans to stimulate the economy at 200 times the cost of Sky City ($638 million) then why wouldn't they fund Sky City ? If the stimulus is "too big", then the "cherry on top" would only by 0.5% of any future issue.

Zhang, a slight but wiry and intense man of 52, says "Sky City" - as he has dubbed it - can fix many of the world's pollution, congestion, transportation and even disease problems by completely purifying the tower's air. The 838-meter-tall building (10 meters taller than the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, currently the world's tallest) will hold schools, a hospital, 17 helipads and some 30,000 people. It will, indeed, be a city in the sky.His dreams don't stop there
Pinned up on his office wall are plans for a project even more audacious - an almost preposterously massive building :banana2:two kilometers high. When asked to estimate the odds of this 636-floor giganto-scraper ever being built, Zhang responds without hesitation, "One hundred percent! Some say that it's sensationalism to construct such a tall building. That's not so. Land shortages are already a grave problem. There's also the very serious transportation issue. We must bring cities together and stretch for the sky in order to save cities and save the Earth. We must eliminate most traffic, traffic that has no value! And we must reduce our dependency on roads and transportation."

I just wish Broad Sustainable Buildings designs its future buildings more aerodynamically such as Yeongam virtual circuit
Flying Robots surely would exponentially increase the speed of building if synchronized with current operation :nuts:
In China there's already a city clad with solar panels so Broad Group should might take that into consideration in its next project
Broad Group could also integrate Innovida technologies for its interiors
You can just imagine the environmental benefits if the creativity of Sanyo Solar Panels and Broad Group is combined to mass produce solar powered buildings like the Solar Ark
