"...It (Vertical City, A Solution For Sustainable Living) is a well-illustrated and fine printed book that can possibly be viewed as an encyclopedia about Vertical City for architects and urban planners. Additionally, it’s a bilingual (English and Chinese) book that’s carefully laid out and reviewed by Mr. Zhang yiguo and Ms. Chen Shanshan, which could also be used as text book for readers who are interested in academic vocabularies and technical terms...I highly recommend professionals and interested persons to read and learn from it."
Dr. Jerry Cammarata, Dean of Student Affairs at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine
"...As our global population expands, clearly mile high vertical cities will become a reality throughout our planet...I think Kenneth King is getting it right and is the first serious architect to fully understand the synergy of the operational forces surrounding physical, human and emotional sustainability in designing buildings for the future – including mile high vertical buildings."
Sudhanshu Mittal, Senior Architectural Student, New Delhi, India
"I'm currently in the course of writing a research paper on Vertical Cities...I came across this book by architects Kenneth King and Kellogg Wong...When I received the book I was pleasantly surprised with the many illustrations that are there all along. When I actually started reading I found out how well the book was structured and that really helped me with how I needed to approach my research paper... I strongly recommend reading the book to get a perspective on our human growth and as well as growth and progress from architecture point of view."
Jerry Moss, Urban Gardener, Portland, Oregon
"Vertical City concept is calling back to days when people lived in cities where they knew people... add the virtues of the green, no carbon footprint, many people start to use their imagination about being in a VC... "
