To fulfil our goal of changing the Central Business District into a Central Recreational District we need to open up pathways between the downtown high-rise buildings on multiple levels. This will open up these buildings and allow them to be used for new recreation and living activities. These bridges will create a flow between buildings allowing people to move freely between them without having to enter and exit buildings through ground floor only.

This is the current concept for the 2040 version of inter-building bridge. It is

based on the wing of a cicada with root like structures connecting the bridge to buildings.



These bridges will be composed of entirely natural materials that will be mostly if not fully grown rather than constructed. This minimises the impact theses structures will have on the environment during and at the end of their useful life. Just as a cicada wing will be broken down and return to the earth at the end of the cicadas life these bridges will be fully biodegradable.
