Usually when we think of a city we have an image in our mind of wide roads, houses, hospital, police station. But can you believe that a city is just one building? But indeed there is such a city in America.
Whittier is located in the US state of Alaska. Here a city is functioning with only one building. Its name is Begich Towers. It is also reported that the building has a total of 14 floors and around 300 people are living here. Hospital, police station, post office, supermarket, church are all the places that people need within this single building. Students go to nearby schools through a tunnel in its basement.
People here do not need to go out for shopping or anything else. People who work in a nearby port live in this building with their families.
It is said that the places around this area are owned by the railway department, so it is said that everyone is living together in one place. The region is surrounded by snow most of the day due to the surrounding mountains. The building is said to have been constructed in the 1990s.
It is said that most of the residents here live without knowing much about the outside world. If one wants to go to this city from outside, one has to cross the snowy mountains. A tunnel has been constructed under the mountains for a distance of about 2.5 miles.
