Power Generation with help of existing infrastructure

As the globe is getting hotter, we need to cut down Co2 footprints by getting more granular in our approach. Today we have classified energy generation into two segments renewable & non-renewable.
I think there must be many segments for power generation; one among them must be power generation by using existing infrastructure.
Today the condition of Co2 emission is so worst that we need to optimise all our assets.
Yes, for example: A metro city in India has thousands of skyscrapers. Can’t we use their potential energy (heights) to generate power? They all have motors to take water to top of the building; from there they pour it back to the bottom floor. We need to tap this kinetic energy. We need to have micro hydel power generation units installed in such bottom of skyscrapers to convert it into power.
I have not researched on how many units will be generated from such projects, but anything generated will help to reduce Co2 footprints.
It has huge potential of generating power all over the globe, what say?
