But as a green perspective has increasingly come to dominate urban planning and architecture proposals, and the fact that the world’s population is becoming more urban, both needs must find a way to be incorporated into building design: The need for maximized space and buildings built with a green perspective. In 2050 most of the world’s population will reside in cities which makes the need for the production of vegetables and fruits on rural and semi-rural farms less desirable, as urban sprawl takes over and limits space for such enterprises and the demand for fresher goods would require — at least, in part — the ability to produce such goods in a location within or very-near the city.
