A company in Japan has come up with a new way of demolishing high-rise buildings in densely built-up areas, as an alternative to using wrecking balls or explosives.
With this method they even generate electricity for tools they use!

I wonder how the costs of deconstruction compare to the construction costs. There's maybe one advantage: it's easier to reuse or recycle materials than when turning it into a pile of debris.
Like with nuclear powerplants, proper deconstruction often hasn't been considered in the planning and the costs (and time) for nuclear powerplants easily exceed those of construction.
