Twenty workers will take care of the 14,000-square-meter farm, which is expected to produce up to 1,000kg of fruit and vegetables every day.FOOTAGE OF THE URBAN FARM AT THE rooftop of Paris Expo’s Pavillon 6.SOUNDBITES OF PASCAL HARDY, AGRIPOLIS PRESIDENT:1. "The idea is not to redo industrial agriculture in the city, it doesn't make sense. We try to extract the maximum number of lessons from everything that happens in the world of agriculture and food to propose a new productive, local and healthy model."2. "The technique that we have developed prevents from trapping urban pollution."3. "Our systems are totally closed and, which allows us to never be in contact with airborne particles."4. "We do not use pesticides or chemicals."5. "Prices are competitive. We are cheaper than biological but inevitably more expensive than conventional because we are in smaller areas than industrial agriculture is, we cannot mechanize and there is a lot of labour involved."6. "In two years, this area will become the largest urban farm on a roof in Europe. So far we have only installed a third."

If you're afraid of heights, now is not the time to look down. Welcome to the world's highest ice skating rink, located on top of the Oko Tower skyscraper in Moscow city and exclusively reserved for those not feint of heart. Standing at nearly 1,200 feet above the ground and surrounded by sky-high bars and restaurants, the rink provides some of the best open air panoramic views of Moscow in the entire capital of the Russian Federation.
Russia has long been known as the land of the snow, and they certainly know how to enjoy winter. Welcome to Moscow's Gorky Park, the scene of one of Europe's biggest, and longest, ice skating rinks. Artificial ice covers nearly two hundred thousand square feet of Gorky park, so you wouldn't be wrong if you said that you could skate for eternity. This year's skaters at Gorky Park noticed a big difference. Nearly forty thousand square foot of graffiti has been sprayed under the ice in different styles. One of the pieces even featured Russian warships from the early 20th century. Visitors can also enjoy an eight-metre high frozen fountain as well as an ice maze, which invokes the magic of the Northern Lights through its green illuminations. It's not all bad in Russia for the winter, but if you're trying to skate Gorky Park in the cold season, make sure to bundle up!
