If a project like it is ever created it will be after the success of a project like tokyo sky city, probably some considerable time after as given the time it\\\’s taken to get to a km up (as in not happened yet, though one is definitely on its way http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madinat_al-Hareer and after the km\\\’s up getting km + buildings as archology style structure such as the Sky city 1000, will require some serious interest though given japan\\\’s interest and frankly need it it may well get of the ground, before anyone would consider such a considerable leap due to the obvious conservatism of the world as demonstrated in this very set of comments,

Not just one most likely several sky city size and larger projects are likely to go first so by the time projects such as this may be seriously considered the population density will have probably increased to the point where it is seriously needed and would represent a distinct improvement to those who like have green in the countryside and like a countryside period instead of eating them up with possible future super-city sprawl\\\’s another 20th century sci-fi concept, one that if population increased can only be prevented as a necessity with projects like this, and will provide the average person with more space.

Basically for now its merely a future theory impressive to look at but not even the designers intended this to be real, look at sky city for something more likely to happen within the next 30 years, given mile high towers going up it\\\’s getting easier to sell the concept on the \\\”don\\\’t get left behind\\\” bandwagon as well as obvious necessities

additionally to the chaps who clearly know nothing about it, building lots of cheap low-land housing would wipe away the countryside and ultimately have a far more detrimental effect to the environment then one highly efficient building and 1 million people will use 1 millions people worth of resources when not in one place building by concentrating them it is possible to reach far greater hight\\\’s of efficiency then all the homes requirs to house them conventionally and frankly all the equipment required will allow efficiency by bulk if you truly wish to help earth\\\’s future environment you have to look outside the box and arcologies represent a valid solution, socially speaking, each one will be a city in its own right, and no doubt act like one

Frankly i for one would be pleased city where one is unlikely to have to encounter far less petty thieves, petty drug dealers and other petty crime due to none of them being able to afford to go there, instead of a unattainable idea if they have any sense the poor will view it as a great place worth of working their way out of poverty providing an impetuous for improving self-change and hopefully to boot a few less criminal\\\’s will realise what they can\\\’t attain by that way of life and go straight out of it to, of course all that social bit is idealist nonsense based on the preconception the average person is at his heart \\\”nice\\\” but nevertheless if they had any sense, it would be true, and that means at least some that do will be inspired, such a building looming down on one can\\\’t help but remind them there\\\’s bigger things and greater achievements waiting to be had out there then their petty real life issues, and provide incentive for the next generation of thinkers and innovator\\\’s as every great work and innovation of the past has, and it would be a an achievement worth of praise.
