Wooden skyscrapers around the world: a dream or a revolution?

Wooden skyscrapers around the world: a dream or a revolution?  The population of countries all around the world is getting more urbanized. Many people move to big cities with a dream of starting a new life, getting a new job and open new horizons. And with it arises one simple question: where are they going to live? Nowadays, there’s a good option for housing: wood.
This option has a lot of advantages, especially if one wants to choose a healthy way of living: environmentally friendly building material stores carbon dioxide CO2 until it burns, hence reducing the greenhouse gas effect.
