okay the other night I was flipping through the channels and suddenely I come to the discovery channel and there talking about massive modern super structures. In other words the build Sky City in Japan. This is really amazing to me because this shit is gonna dwarf any building. Cities will change as we know if from hundreds of layed out 10 story buildings to being a couple of Connected mile tall super structures. I have been looking at pictures and read about this.

This is a cool website about it

Its perfect, Communication, transportation, and residence all combinded into one building that could hold easily 100000. Its the end of Cities as we know them if this works.

They probably be the first to do it too, because they'll need to someday.

But considering the expense, it may not happen for quite a while.
