So this is interesting, but I would love to see a breakdown of what kind of environmental impact this has vs straight concrete buildings

Proposal For World's Tallest Mass Timber Building Moves Forward In Milwaukee - CleanTechnica
(cleantechnica.com)
From my uninformed understanding, concrete production releases a lot of CO2 while building with wood essentially 'stores' carbon in building form, rather than producing gas to create the building.
I don't have numbers, but I think the benefits are clear enough
I remember seeing this
It talks about Stockholm Wood City: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_Wood_City
Would you mind posting this in its own thread so more people can see it. I may be biased, but I think this is super interesting and as many people should see it as possible.
I guess not making it a skyscraper but rather a 5-story-building would help with the environmental footprint more.
