You should look up how the idea of “towers in a park” actually played out when implemented. It’s not a new concept.
(Parmentier lived at a time before the pommes frites, when only pigs, prisoners, and people in poor faraway countries ate potatoes. The story goes that he set up a fancy potato field, complete with armed guards, but because they weren't guarded at night, the same people who earlier wouldn't dare eat a potato came to steal them under cover of darkness to grow themselves.)

Caveat: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_Parmentier says it's fake news. Parmentier really did wish to guard his research patches.
