About this audio guide
This guide to Roppongi Hills Mori Tower in Tokyo traces developer Minoru Mori's seventeen-year campaign to build his vision of a vertical garden city, homes, offices, shops and a museum stacked into one fifty-four-story tower. It turns on an ordinary March morning in 2004, not long after the tower opened, when a six-year-old boy and his mother approached one of its automated revolving doors on their way in. Look up at the art museum on the fifty-third floor, part of the vertical city Mori spent nearly two decades fighting to build.
