B: The chief reason is to make the best use of the limited and expensive land areas available in the world’s major cities. New York City, largely confined to an island, could not spread outward, so it spreads upward. A: Is there a limit to the height of buildings? B: Yes. Structural engineers have calculated that buildings up to 500 meters tall are technically feasible. 主菜单 Unit 4 Buildings 建筑物 Modern High Buildings in New York City A: It’s said that a large tower block is the size of a village. Many skyscrapers are complete with shops, restaurants, and recreation facilities. What are the advantages and disadvantages? B: The advantages are that the whole of a large company’s staff can be housed together, with obvious gains in efficiency. Large buildings for homes, such as tower blocks of apartments, also make the best use of land and simplify the installation of services such as electricity and heating. On the other hand, they can create social problems. Living many meters above street level can lead to lack of contact with the surrounding community. 一座大型塔楼 A: Another problem is that too many high buildings in a district deprive their neighbors of solar access.
