Who’s gonna move there and live in that and also what about the sewage/plumbing in the middle of the desert

Who's gonna build it?

Indians and Bangladeshis.

 

[F*ckthemkids]

It would take 100 years to build that goofy shyt

 

[CopiousX]

Indians and Bangladeshis.

Throw in filipinos also. They basically built out qatar in expectation of the world cup in the next few months.

 

[Billie Jean]

Why would it stink?

 

[KBtheKey]

Looks dope if you rich as fukk. Rent out a few blocks and take your people on vacation for a week or 2

 

[MischievousMonkey]

Interesting scifi concept

Leave a bytch cubby on some Mirrors Edge shyt

That sounds like an incredibly stupid design. If you lived at the far end of the building you'd probably have to travel the whole distance of the building just to buy a bottle of milk

2 way Rail system in the building???

This shyt looks like something at the start of a dystopian sci-fi flick about when humanity began to crumble

 

[keon]

Covid34 waiting in the cut for that shyt to get built like

It said they're built as 5min walking distance neighborhoods

Y’all hating but I’m buying.

Yeah, I saw the video after I posted. So it seems they want to build a whole city instead of a building.

I still think there are all sorts of problems it's going to have, like garbage disposal, plumbing, bulk delivery (for all the stores the city is going to have), and intercity or international transport.

You can't build an airport anywhere near the place due to noise pollution and due to the height of the building. So it won't be easy for people to travel in and out compared to how it would be for a normal city of 9 million.

I also wonder where the jobs are coming from. There's going to be no blue collar work there. No cars, so there won't be any mechanics or smash repairers. No space for manufacturing or industrial areas. No construction because the whole city is already built. No streets, so no road work and maintenance crews. No ports, so no stevedores and no truck drivers.

What will people who live in this city do for a living? They can only work white collar jobs, service jobs, or retail jobs. That's not enough.
