Interesting. But I doubt it would be a very safe place to live. Also you have to factor in the time it will take to build, I doubt it will be finished within our lifetimes.

The pyramid is like its own little city Draco. It will be housing, markets, restaurants, company's. Basically just more room for Tokyo to grow.

That looks awesome. Very nice but I agree. I'm afraid that none of us will ever see that (maybe our grandchildren or something...or further down the line) and theres so many risks to something like that. Its a challenge but really interesting idea.

Without the tsunamis or earthquakes and that kinda crap,  this isn't really a bad idea.

Sheeeeeit. They might as well have hot chicks in mobile suits flyin' around battling evil cyborgs while they're at it.

that too is a good idea. I may have to steal it.

I think it's a cool idea. A dumb one, maybe, but still cool. What would it be used for?

maybe it will be a future manga and anime studio where the artists can live just to create anime. Like the Hive in that so-so Resident Evil movie.

Is that Ueno market they're showing at the beginning of the video?

Meh, it's just a proposal like that giant tower they were proposing a while back.

Very good. Yeah, that's Ameyoko in Ueno.

By the way, they really are building that giant tower.

What tower?

Heh, I thought so, I spent a lot of time there... cafe near the train station, the squid satay thing, what's it called again? even bought a paired rings in Marui there. ahhh... natsukashiiiiii... >.<

Gotta go back there soon.

i understand that need to have more room... but... wont they just fill it up all over again? its not like making a big building will make the population growth slow down.
and this is the first part to that tower documentary:

That's never gonna happen. Well, never being the next 200 years... They're still paying off all those zany bubble economy projects.

Haha, yeah. However, even if it doesn't get built anytime soon, it's a really interesting project from an engineering standpoint.

I heard something or other about it, but never saw it. I think the video might be much older than a year. But that doesn't make it unworthy of discussion

Was I the only one who saw this on the Discovery channel almost a year go?

I saw it about a year ago too.  National Geographic also did an article about it, as well as popular science.
