Wood trusses were used by the Greeks and Romans, more than 2,000 years ago, in large public buildings. http://construction.hostzi.com Archaeologists have dated the earliest of these to the 5th century BCE.
The modern wood truss made of wood and metal gusset plates was developed in the 1950s, was widely used by the 1970s, and is common today in both new construction and remodeling. Steel bar joists are common is both buildings with masonry load-bearing walls and in buildings with structural steel frames.

By constructing a new building in a city's interior rather than on its outskirts, the employees at the new building are more closely located to other businesses they will use (restaurants, stores, etc.) This reduces their need to drive to these businesses, which cuts the amount of miles they drive each day. Many infill development programs occur in conjunction with the expansion of mass transit, further reducing pollution and traffic congestion.
