Check out this Agritecture bridge concept by Chetwoods architects that was the winning entry for the London Bridge competition!

Laurie Chetwood’s design for an inhabited London Bridge includes  solar-powered spires housing a self-sufficient hydroponic organic farm  and commercial centre taking advantage of renewable energy generation,  harvesting and efficient re-use of water, solar heating and natural  ventilation. The vertical farm acts as a cooling tower and powers a wind  turbine. Solar heated convection heats water, and EFTE provides a solar  PV skin for electricity generation.
