Via inky, from io9:

London has to provide housing for a million more people by 2016, taking into account new arrivals, plus old-timers who need an upgrade. Since space is limited, UK company Popularchitecture is proposing a 5,000-foot high tower that would house pretty much everybody all in one shot—and reduce four city neighborhoods to a single cylindrical building.

That’s almost three times the height of the tallest building ever constructed. And they consider it safe for people? Methinks it’s appropriate that this is posted on a sci-fi blog.
