We should really build up instead of out.

I just start thinking that its impossible for us to control ground pollution when I see that we've covered THAT much of the soil in dense concrete infrastructure. Look at that sprawl. When you really look at it from that perspective, its almost overwhelming.

It's Tokyo.

Well, to the discussion, we can limit it. There have been image macros before "if a city were built as dense as (city), you could fit the entire US population in the area of [state]", getting smaller and smaller.
Now, logistically/infrastructurally, you can't actually do it. You just need a certain footprint for water, farming, etc. Also you don't want all your eggs in one basket for existential crisis reasons.

But yeah, some more megacities, a bunch less little towns, much more healthy planet.

From a strictly land use view, creating megastructures is great. From a technical, economical, and social view, creating dense but mid-rise mixed developments is the best. See Paris or Barcelona. The high rise experiment did not provide the urban utopia results our 1940s architects promised.

I'm being purposely curt on this subject.

We need a city like they had in Alita: Battle Angel, and also a sequel to Alita: Battle Angel.

I remember looking out my hotel window in tokyo I was on floor like 30 or 40 or something and literally all I saw were 10+ story buildings for as far as my eye could see and was absolutely astonished.

I watched a dope YouTube video the other day of hypothetical proposed mega sky scraper projects that would serve as cities.

This one in Tokyo would house a million people and be taller than Mount Fuji.

No chance in hell I would live in a building like that in a county located in the Ring of Fire

[Zealot]

Make the building bigger than the volcano, vent lava in for geothermal heating.

You think if they hit the gate it'll flip them to the other side?

[Koyangi]

It's 1 contiguous gate from (far) left to (far) right and seems to rise up like a garage door would if raised, so I'd say no.

Jim S Sterling had posted the image. I went ahead and dug up the tweet and shared it to Sterling's community in turn making the guy famous again. After three days of frequent mentions, the troll has deleted the original tweet. Going through his replies, he is very toxic to content creators. So no fucks given.

Please tell me this is for a new Happy! season!
