What tower there are will be built at a dandy distance from the airports and will serve as mooring masts for giant airship . The architect of our succeeding ethereal cities may have to go back to places like Constantinople and Fez for their inspiration of these succeeding flat - topped aerial metropolis where one find a low horizontal fictional character to the entire city , on occasion broken here and there by a pray tugboat or a minaret .
