STORY: Transitioning Greenery – The Future Beyond Expo City's Tree of Life

Relocating vertical farming to the Limestone Cliff Terraces to expand sustainable agriculture, drive clean innovation, and secure local livelihoods.

October 11, 2026

In the coming months, Expo City will bid farewell to one of its most recognizable structures. The Tree of Life—a 10-story cylindrical pavilion featuring rotating floors and a vertical farm designed to give every level equal sunlight—will be dismantled. Once the centerpiece of Expo 2025 and a core megastructure of the futuristic site, the facility will be removed to make way for the development of the Skyline Harmony Hub, a new mixed-use infrastructure project.

The announcement naturally sparked public discussion regarding Fitzland’s commitment to sustainability—a core value of the nation and the foundational pillar of the Fitzland Masterplan 2030. To address questions surrounding the relocation of agricultural initiatives, the government confirmed that the Tree of Life will not be rebuilt elsewhere. Instead, all fruit, vegetable, and greenery cultivation will be permanently transitioned to the vast, open landscape of the Limestone Cliff Terraces. Located in the Limestone Cliffs region—currently the country's primary rice production hub—this expansive natural terrain will serve as the new home for Fitzland’s agricultural advancement.

Addressing Public Questions: Official Government Responses

1. Is Fitzland still committed to its sustainability core values?

Yes. Fitzland has never paused its mission to build a sustainable nation. Sustainability remains a mandatory requirement for every piece of infrastructure planned and built in the country, ensuring that all developments serve future generations responsibly.

2. Does this move align with the Fitzland Masterplan 2030?

Yes. Sustainable urban planning remains the heart of Masterplan 2030. Reallocating agriculture from a single building to the vast landscape of the Limestone Cliff Terraces will significantly enhance the country’s overall yield across various crops without negatively impacting current rice production. The commitment to eco-friendly urban development remains entirely unchanged.

3. Will the Skyline Harmony Hub just be another concrete megastructure?

No. The Skyline Harmony Hub is designed to directly fulfill three primary goals of Masterplan 2030: Smart Infrastructure Integration, Clean Energy Transformation, and Sustainable Urban Planning. Complete architectural blueprints and green integration details will be released in upcoming public publications.

4. What will happen to the personnel currently working at the Tree of Life?

No jobs will be lost. All workers from the Tree of Life vertical farm are being fully integrated into the expanded operations at the Limestone Cliff Terraces. Many team members have welcomed the move, as the Limestone Cliffs region serves as a major residential hub in Fitzland, allowing staff to work closer to their homes and families in a greener, less urbanized environment.

5. Is the dismantling and relocation plan constitutional and legal?

Yes. The initiative underwent extensive consultations across every Ministry and attached agency. This process ensured full legal compliance while prioritizing the rights, livelihoods, and well-being of all affected workers and citizens.

Looking Forward: A Vaster Landscape for Fitzland's Future

While the Tree of Life served as an innovative symbol, its vertical farm was naturally limited by the physical footprint of a single megastructure. By choosing not to rebuild the structure and instead planting directly across the open expanse of the Limestone Cliff Terraces, Fitzland unlocks far greater agricultural capacity.

This move is designed to uplift the national economy on multiple fronts. Beyond boosting food production and securing local livelihoods, the revitalized Limestone Cliff Terraces and the upcoming Skyline Harmony Hub will position Fitzland as an even stronger center for agricultural research, sustainable investment, and international tourism.
