A blessing for all my fellow creatively inclined bigots who have run out of world building ideas, last spurred on by our esteemed think tanks behind The Great Reset.
Behold our globalist overlord's latest idea: a 100 mile long exercise in social decay and behavioural sinks. A modern reimagining of the urban renewal disasters of yesteryear, commieblocks now available in shiny new mirror finish, Kowloon Walled City but this time we'll get it right. Hive cities, but without the God-Emperor to protect our children from demonic entities which strut around proudly amongst us, getting high off our unconditional and limitless tolerance. Megacities, except instead of Judges, you'll have social workers coming around to have you sent to re-education camps for not practicing Sustainability. The advertisements offer you the Forest Arcology, but instead you end up getting the Darco Arcology, with even more abominations scurrying through the air ducts.
But fret not, you won't have to worry about anything because everything will be centrally planned by government and Experts, so you can rest in assurance that nothing could ever possibly go wrong, and when it does, it'll actually be a good thing, and they'll tell you why. All you need to do is be fearful of what they tell you to, and panic on demand. The Algorithm will tell you where to go, so that you'll never have to make any decisions that might end up in you making socially disharmonious decisions. And we all know how hard it is to balance the rigors of modern life, so we'll take care of managing all the dull mundane details such as how much heating, electricity, or meat-replacement rations you need to spend your Corporate Chits on.
Equality is our strength, and that is why the government is here to help by taking your hard earned money, and mismanaging it in new and creative ways, in order to provide the wrong solution, to problems that don't exist, horrendously over budget and overdue on schedule. Remember, we're all in this together, and that is why you don't need to have any say in how we use your money to continue our decades and centuries of hard work in ensuring a never ending supply of oppression.
Welcome to our new, green, sustainable, equitable future. We hope you enjoy your stay.
Rofl. The city will be lived in by Saudis, and built/maintained by Africans who have had their passports confiscated and are defacto slaves, bussed in from a nearby shanty town every day.
This is like a shitter version of a mega city or a hive city. Seriously get off your butts and focus on space colonisation. What is it with global powers trying to shove more people into a cupboard than just extending the property to the barren land a few metres away?
They could even build this self-contained city on Mars. It would make more sense there. Call it New Jeddah and send some out of favor prince there to run it.
Mars is and always will be a hopeless idea. Mars has no magnetic dynamo, so it can't generate the magnetic field necessary for keeping an atmosphere in place. You'd have to invent magic to make Mars livable.
In this example I assumed the city would be self-contained and pressurized. As for terraforming, assuming you had the magic to pump enough nitrous oxygen mixture into the air, you'd also have the magic to keep it there in spite of the very slow solar wind erosion. Though radiation will be a much bigger concern for pressurized settlements.
Okay, so self contained and pressurized. Leaks happen in systems like that, and you can't really replenish your supply. You'd be dependent on earth for resupply.
Again, not viable.
The viable option in my opinion is towing asteroids into orbit for mining. Most of the asteroids in our belt are known in terms of metal content, and that would be a useful first step to securing resources for future space expansion.
This would be sorta cool, if I'd never seen a single bit of sci-fi, and/or didn't know how fucking terrible people can be. If people were perfect, they could make almost any system work. If they're not, any system with a big point of failure, or point for potential tyrannical control or massive inequality is a system that's going to fucking suck. This looks like slavery, starvation, and destitution waiting to happen. I mean, if it weren't complete fiction to begin with, of course.
Decentralization will almost always beat centralization.
Also, end-to-end in twenty minutes? So you're packing the world's third fastest trains* into the most densely populated...well, anything, in human history, or something? You'd have to do a bunch of them, too, if you expect anything but massive waiting lines to even start a journey.
No, if this were real, you'd either have people confined to their own "unique communities," likely suffering greatly, or you'd have the occasional and probably extremely deadly high speed train/whatever derailment.
This whole thing is absolutely fucking retarded.
* EDIT: Realized it would probably have to beat out the current fastest trains to be the new world's fastest trains, not third fastest, because I didn't take frequent stops and dis/embarking into account. All that cuts into overall time by a huge margin, so it would have to be even faster than I thought, by a big factor, and I'm not even sure how you safely and quickly start and stop at the speeds it would need to be going, and still manage to make twenty minute trips.
Something about the concept piece makes me want to walk out to the edge and shout about my feelings with the mutual reassurance of my best friend, Mike Shinoda.

They got that right the first time. It was Aesthetic as fuck.

Just need the right quantity of buzzwords to convince the right people to bypass reality and sign on.
do they still get castrated, the blacks i mean

Why waste time, energy and resources to find more space to live when you can just kill off the excess cattle that wastes energy, resources and space.

These guys play Warhammer.
I'm terrified.
The video looks nice.
Reality will probably look more like the mega blocks in Night City.
5 bucks it ends up as a slave arcology.

Anyone ever see Logan's Run? I just get that vibe here.
You should have used a 4-head VCR.

Usually I feel I identify as a Magikarp, but today I'll identify as a Slowpoke :)
lmao this is some vex architecture from the game destiny. you do not live inside of vex labyrinths
And it is a total farce.
I can not even begin to explain how fucking retarded of an idea it is to suggest building a mega structure nearly 2000 football fields highs.
How about we go back to building things we did over a century ago? You know, before boomers fucked up zoning laws?

looks like a prison block
here's an idea: don't live in the desert
