TDR developed the San Francisco Bay Area Development Plan
which established growth projections of infrastructure, population,
commuter traffic, urban growth rates, traffic congestion, pollution,
greenbelt areas, job growth and residential development rates for
San Francisco Bay Area cities well into the years 2000, 2005, 2010
and 2020. Recommendations were implemented without harming existing
ecology and preserving green park areas. Other projects: The Nexus
Mobile Floating Sea City and the "Prosperity Tower," the world's tallest
retail/office structure for the Hung Kuo Financial Group in Taipei,
Taiwan, incorporate special ecological technology and self-sufficient
energy systems. TDR's two-mile high Sky City Tower is powered by the
sun, wind, and atmospheric pressure differentials. This design prevents
the destructive effects of urban sprawl by creating a vertically directed
growth structure protecting the natural environment for public recreational
use.
