Vertical cities have many pros and cons, some benefits can be that they reduce the amount of land used in developing cities. The cities also make the need for driving disappear as everything inside the structure is within walking distance. With all the square footage of the building, many sources of renewable energy can be used such as solar panels and wind turbines. The setback of using vertical cities is that people may start to develop a sense of claustrophobia. There is also the safety concern of how resistant the buildings would be to natural disasters. Although these are big cons of vertical cities, the advantages for the environment and people outweigh the cons.
