Are Super Skyscrapers Beneficial?

SUPER SKYSCRAPERS are in essence the symbol of status and power of the big cities. As they are difficult and very expensive to build, many different opinions have emerge about whether super skyscrapers are a good idea or not. However is well known that currently several cities all over the world face many problems due to overpopulation. Personally, I think that super skyscrapers could be the answer to some of the most common problems that are affecting big cities.
Urban sprawl represents a huge problem, since left very little open space with so many buildings withing the cities. Thus, this reduce considerably the valuable green spaces and the land for agriculture. Naturally, so much concrete surrounding the cities contributed to pollute the environment. As well, commuting is tremendous problem to big cities, where people spend many hours traveling from their homes to their jobs. Basically, this is unproductive time. However, the construction of environmentally friendly super skyscrapers would make a better use of the urban space and the land. As a result, the urban sprawl will be reduce significantly. Furthermore people will spend less time commuting.
Super skyscrapers will be the solution for a great part of the problems created by the fast growing of population in the big cities. Thanks to new technology more and environmentally friendly super skyscrapers will be build in the world´s cities.
