Question Numbers: 59-61
Comprehension:
The Celadon Tower was once a famous landmark in the city of Kytel. With its height of seventy stories, staggered balconies, and jade-tinted glass panels, the skyscraper was not just an architectural marvel but also a symbol of prosperity during the Technological Revolution in the late 21st century.
However, the grandeur of the Celadon Tower didn't last forever. In 2022, economic overextension led to the crash of the technologically reliant private sector that occupied a vast proportion of the Tower’s office space. Consequently, the building, which was once known for its hustle and bustle, fell silent and empty.
In the years following the downturn, the city council proposed to transform the Celadon Tower into a multifunctional space: integrating retail, residential, and green spaces. This innovative proposal was an attempt to bring life back to the landmark and to revitalize the city's economy. Nevertheless, the reactionary public sentiment combined with the hefty costs associated with such a makeover have impeded the proposal's progress.
As of today, the tower remains an imposing remnant of an optimistic past and a significant part of Kytel city's history. Future success in transforming the tower will hinge not only on overcoming economic hurdles but also on navigating public sentiment and achieving a configuration that harmoniously blends with the city's evolving landscape.
