    Why Japan's Great Pyramid of Giza Can't be Built Until 2110
    London. October, 1992. A Japanese man entered a government building near Chancery Lane, and made his way up to an office on the first floor. This was the London branch of the UK’s Patent Office. You see, this man was there on behalf of Japan’s renowned Shimizu Corporation - a leading architectural and engineering firm that was (and is) among the top in the world, and he was there to apply for a patent. To secure their ideas globally it was necessary to apply not just in Japan.
    Now this particular patent was for no ordinary idea. It was for something grand, something spectacular. The idea was to build giant pyramids in the middle of some of the largest and busiest urban centers in the world - starting with Tokyo. These infrastructures would be so large, they could house entire cities. But why? What was this for? And who exactly is the Shimizu Corporation?
    To understand this, we need to go back in time, back over 200 years ago to the company’s inception...
    Talking Points:
    - Shimizu Megacity Pyramid TRY-2004
    - Megastructures
    - Pyramidal structures
    - Japanese architectural & engineering companies
    - Kisuke Shimizu
    - Edo period
    - Japan's population decline
    - Tokyo's overpopulation & overcrowding
    - Large scale construction projects
    - Floating cities, underwater cities, space hotels
    - Blade Runner (Tyrell Corporation headquarters pyramid)
    - Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza
    - Burj Khalifa & Jeddah Tower
    - 2 kilometer high building
    - Tokyo Bay
    - Megatrusses & suspended skyscrapers
    - Renewable energy of solar, wind, algae & waves
    - Japanese earthquakes & tsunamis
    - Pacific Ring of Fire
    - X-Seed 4000 (Taisei Corporation)
    - Mega-City Pyramids in Singapore, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Delhi & Dhaka
    - Largest man-made structure in history
    - Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City

    🇯🇵 Could you live in a megacity pyramid?

    ✍🏽 Correction: Before 1868 the capital was Kyoto, not Edo (though Edo was what Tokyo was called back then). Also forgot to include that a major reason Egypt's Giza pyramid is mentioned in the video as a point of comparison is because the Shimizu pyramid is meant to have the exact same (relative) dimensional proportions.

This mega pyramid is unlike anything done before, so of course it's going to seem scary to people. The design may change, but not doubt a mega building like this will be built eventually.

      I'm doubtful if it's ever going to become reality. Cost of real estate under this would be horrendous, especially in Tokyo. It would need new materials technology in enormous quantities. And then there's the big one - if you have one place in a country where everyone wants to live, you ain't going to make more space there. You need to make other places interesting. You can build five of these, and after some time everything is again just as packed, but you have made a huge logistics nightmare to boot.
      Look at Kowloon, or any big south east Asian city and their slums. If there is a square meter, some hopeful will live there. Japan needs to make other areas more interesting to level out population all over the country.

      Actually, I'm 29. I made my RUclips channel in 2008, when I graduated high school. I graduated college in 2012. So don't jump to wrong conclusions. Not everyone on the internet are children. I grew up in the '90s, I'm a person that remembers the _very first episode_ of Pokémon quite thoroughly.
      FYI: Batman was created in 1939, so why is it so hard for you to believe that adults can be fans of the character? That's just plain stupid logic there. Learn to use google.

    I think it would make a lot of sense to build a much smaller prototype of this somewhere large and empty, like the Mojave desert. Scale it down to reduce some of the stresses and you could probably get away with building the superstructure out of a combination of titanium and aircraft grade aluminum. Scaling it down also makes it more managable. Say, instead of building it for a million people, build it for a thousand. Moreover, build it primarily as a research facility for the development of construction materials and renewable energy initiatives. If it can be built, the research done within the facility can not only benefit the world, but can help pay for the structure.

      maybe more than a thousand though, since part of the goal of building it is more efficiency and putting more people closer together saves energy

      Scaling that massive of a project down is no easy feat, and i'm looking at the enormous amount of calculations that they have to do to even make such thing feasible, let alone a massive structure.

      Maybe design something that is modular so they can build it piece by piece. Because structure this big would be a challenge to build at once especially for the budget.

    This idea made me flashback to the movie High-Rise. Everything within one building with the residents rarely having the need to go out. Community and socioeconomic tensions eventually rise. And things start to fall apart. I can see how this pyramid would turn into one big social experiment in more ways than one.

      I think thats why they proposed that the top is designated to Technological spaces and leisure spaces. Makes sense because naturally ppl who are on top will feel they have power, and the Japanese are very conscious of small things like that.
