To implement a true urban renaissance, you first need a Grand Design elaborated by strong leadership .

By using vertical space more effectively, you not only make more room for greenery but shorter commutes also mean less pressure on CO2 emission problems and by freeing up time now spent on unproductive commuter trains, people would have more options in their lives.

I believe my concepts are more than just business, they are about our culture.
