Actually, many medieval churches on a regular basis were built for around hundred of years from the start by many generations of workers. So nothing impressive about it.
i doubt it would work. There are several skyscrapers in my city (Vancouver) that have attempted to grow large vegetation along the outside curtain of the building and it hasn't worked. There is one infamous building here that has a tree on the top that has died and been replaced twice in the past 30 years, and costs an average of $10 thousand a year to keep it alive. Another building wanted bushes to envelope the building but not a single one of them took root. It has been 10 years now and none of them have grown. The bushes don't like the wind and harsh conditions. And then there is the weight of the soil to consider. That many trees would be HEAVY!!!

It doesn't need to be shorter to exsist. Building it at the exact height, which is 1000 m is actually possible as there are skyscrapers in construction which their height is similar as the Sky City such as the Jeddah Tower in Saufi Arabia.
@@vinaashvicky145 Yes and no. Height is not in fact everything. The point of building like the Sky Tower is to get as much additional floor space as possible. Jeddah Tower and the Berj Khalifa are both compromise designs where it's more important that they be tall for the sake of being tall. They're prestige buildings above all else. Heck, Jeddah Tower's last inhabited floor is at 2/3rds of the building's height, same for the Berj. The rest is an architectural spire for the sake of breaching the 1000 meter mark. This vastly simplifies a lot of the challenges that came with building these mega tall buildings. They're very thin so that they're under less wind stress, and heavily tapered to reduce the static load on the lower floors and foundation, and they also have to accommodate less utility traffic because there's just not all that much floor space above around 300 meters. But it also means that there's a serious point of diminishing returns in terms of the floor space you gain for each additional level after that point. For instance - Berj Khalifa - 3.3 million square feet of floor space Jeddah Tower - 2.6 million square feet of floor space . . . Empire State Building - 2.7 million square feet of floor space Manhattan's Grandpa aint fairing too bad against those young whipersnappers in terms of utility. Sky city, as proposed, would have been a whopping 86 million square feet of floor space because it wasn't just tall, it was broad, and tapered very little between the ground and its highest floors.
I think the first 3 is within the realm of possibility within this century or after, the latter half tho...lol straight out of Japanese cyberpunk megacities, unless we finally harness the full potential of carbon nanotubes or yet to exist futuristic construction materials/tech, we won't see those within an eon. And I'm not even mentioning the financial feasibility costs of this. lol Japan truly are great visionaries.

That No. 2 the X-Seed 4000 was also shown in the anime called "Dimension W" a Sci-fi genre where the building is some sort of new power plant that dithces out the use of Nuclear Energy to a Modern source of power. it also serves as what you tell in the video as housing but not for all the people but for those elites and government official.
What is amazing is that at the center of the world economy before the collapse of the bubble economy, they were not just dreaming, but seriously thinking about this concept and had the technological capability to make it possible even in an earthquake-prone country as long as they had the financial resources to do so.
X-seed looks huge and for 1 million people, meanwhile in the Warhammer 40k lore there are hive cities for 4 billion people, how enormous would those be o_O
@@_martian101 That sounds like questionable lore at best. The moon would house 230 billion people if it had the population density of the Tokyo area. The avg. suburban population density would put the moon at around 75 Billion inhabitants.
And this isn't even counting M.O.T.H.E.R., the Spiral, Seiren 21, the Millennium Tower, the Dynamic Intelligent Building, and the Holonic Tower, all of which are taller than the Tokyo Skytree.
That thumbnail's super skycraper Looks like a pyramid City what's awesome and skycrapers are one of reasons why i Want visit in Japan. Country of The Rising sun IS amazing. 🇯🇵
"The pyramid building is inspired by the Great Pyramid at Giza." What?! No frickin' way! Anyway, I'm taking that second mega project wholesale for my 'City of Yesterday's Tomorrows' story concept. It's a great layout for my semi-bioshock inspired region (mostly the aesthetics and a much lighter version of the theme). I'm already using the main layout for the original EPCOT concept for my steampunk zone, so why not this too?
The problem with most mega towers is that they exist to solve a problem that only really exist due to extreme distortions in land usage that can be better solved by more modest structures because - 1. Building 'Up' isn't a free action. It costs money to build tall. And it costs money to maintain tall structures. Which is why tall buildings tend to be built in places with absurdly high land prices that can justify 'creating' more space by building upward. 2. Even in those places with absurdly high land prices, they don't tend to be this desperate for floor space. There is a limit beyond which the economics just don't make sense. 3. Even when you do become this desperate for floor space, at some point, it's often cheaper to just start developing elsewhere. Japan is in an unusual position that Tokyo is by far some of the most favorable land to build on in the country. Not just because it's already built up, but due to the valuable Tokyo Bay.
I remember Sky City and the Megacity Pyramid from Discovery's Extreeme Enegineering program. It was very interesting programs to watch. I wonder if they are available today on Blu-Ray. The other projects I have never heard about before.
Tokyo architects seem to have a habit of designing structures supported by widespread "legs" rather than being built directly on the ground. The Sky City 1000 and Tower of Babel would both be more doable if they were built with a solid core stretching from bottom to top.
Great video. Something interesting: Not a skyscraper but still mind-blowing is the Space Elevator 😳. About 34 km tall, it would be the tallest structure ever build.
This does not mention Green Float which would not just be tall buildings but large floating islands. Hell, you could start with one and start moving the population there as it grows.
One day humanity will built these Kind of structures. But I think we are still a couple hundred to a thousand years away till this will become reality. The structures remind me of anthills. Its not that bad of a idea to imitate nature.
Humanity would never be able to build these buildings even in million years, but robots however, they could build it in months if not shorter, we are not the future or our planet, our robot does
Welcome the new cooperation team from Tokyo to discuss the new mega construction in Krung Angkor city and Krung Preah Beida city in the north of Cambodia together for future connect in 2024
Maybe building such as X-Seed 4000 and the Tokyo Tower of Babel would go on a category even taller than the megatall skyscrapers. I think ultratall skyscrapers 😂.
I gotta go with the Pyramid for it's classic looks and being possible to build more than the other bigger projects. Still you could probably build Palm Island in Dubai for alot less and faster. However, maybe Saudi Arabia may choose to build one of these. ;-)
collect water instead of pumping water, wasn't expecting that ideal for skyscraper, make you wounder if steaming water would also be cheaper then pumping and any unused water could be use as a water fall.
Tbh maybe other media does cover some of these but most mainstream media doesn't like mostly will talk only about the one that represent mount Fuji and thats it.. and they'll call it "The wildest Japans megaproject ever proposed"
I think humanity can utilize the mega structures, mega cities, spacectaft, etc, designs from Science Fiction as insperation, and as a means to save the time and energy of using this resource rathwr than starting from scratch, to help us build our future cities, mega structures, etc.

Easy. You would never live to have to answer for the cost overruns.
That fact that they are just hoping during construction, that no material and discoveries will be found in order for it to be completed

A cage is still a cage, no matter how pretty. This is a Megablock (Dredd) but pretty.
