Are vertical suburbs a good idea?

>>16739078 (OP)
No

>>16739078 (OP)
That's essentially what highrise residential buildings are. You can argue density but that's offset by height.

>>16739086
Where's the lawn? Where do I BBQ?

>>16739078 (OP)
it's extremely expensive but you can do stuff like that in a city if you enjoy corruption

>>16739078 (OP)
Since we're all striving to be as efficient and productive as possible why haven't we taken our way of being to its logical conclusion yet?

>>16739078 (OP)
Design makes no sense. You have extremely, extremely heavy slabs of concrete with dirty and soil and buildings on top supported by a single column located in the corner of each square. The middle square has no visible support column at all for the 2nd and 3rd level.

Vertical suburbs?
You mean terraces?

>>16739078 (OP)
Floor plates are the heaviest component in skyscraper. elevation pretty much kills vehicle access.
The only thing apartments lacks is public space and semipublic place like front yard that one can dwell in and be seen. Walkway is too narrow for any social interaction other than "let me through"

urbanists' wet dream, avg east asian city

>>16739093
some of them have indoor parks for the residents and guests

the shadow that thing would cast would fuck with everyone around it. plus your pillars would have to be made of unobtanium. also how is transit gonna work? this thing is a civil engineering nightmare. even if you COULD build it, it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars just from material alone.

>>16739078 (OP)
God damn, that looks depressing. Also, kids would be yeeting their stupid selves off the edges all the time.

>>16739078 (OP)
too bad most high rise buildings are designed like shit. The architect could design a small town contained within a building but no they just do commie blocks

>>16739093
>Where's the lawn?
Cannot grow, too much shade

>>16739078 (OP)
Only if I can have a flying car and not pay an HOA.

>>16739078 (OP)
No, it'll block out the sun on the lower levels and that's bad for people's mental health and vitamin D levels, the only solution would be to install huge sunlamps that would drain a huge amount of electricity

>>16739525
Mirrors and lenses,

piss off the side and have the wind splatter the lower level with your piss.

Sounds like a great way to lime - maybe have the Indian streetshitters live at the top?

>>16739078 (OP)
The more practical solution is to nuke China, India and nuke Israel three times just to be sure.

>>16739078 (OP)
One earthquake. One thing to knock the bottom pillars down. Ita over. An entire city falls. If one floor collapses so does the one below it. Evacuations. It blocks sunlight. If one of the pillars gets bombed on the bottom, say goodnight.
Litrering. If residents accidentally or purposfully dug holes through the floor of one level to drop things on other residents.

The people are stupid enough to fall off. The sided will attract a lot of people as looking down will be an attraction. What about rain? Will it only rain on the top floor?

I'm a 115 iq and even I can poke holes in it the second I apply any ounce of critical thought.

>>16739078 (OP)
How do you leave? Is there an elevator?

>Mirrors and lenses,
Would have to be very large, manufactured perfectly and would no doubt be extremely expensive

The simplest and cheapest solution is just to build suburbs and towns at ground level like we always have

>>16740234
Kek this

We needed almost free labor... humanoid robots will supply that.

>10m plots

I think whoever made this doesn't understand the concept of a meter.

>>16740254
No, you could just have many. They just need to reflect adequate light, they don't need to perfectly reflect every bit of light.

>>16739078 (OP)
>good idea
yeah sure. maybe go with a more vertical layout, with the lots of a more hexagonal shape. and spinning, to get equal sun intervals. also bioengineer the residents into small ovoid creatures, with tentacles. that oughta do it.

You don't. Pneumatic tube delivers food to your house. Houses are separated by a large gap. You stay in the pod and do the work on the screen, or else, no more food in tube.

Spread out a little.

>>16741792
Still space in the UK to spread out.

>>16741794
Plenty of empty clay in the USA.

>>16739130
average chinese apartment

>>16741792
>>16741795
It's not "empty clay" it's "clayglow". Play-doh like ninhabitable due to it being barred from use due to glow nigger inc. or actual glowing clay from the sheer amount of atomic bombs dropped on it.

>>16741792
Yes let's keep destroying our environment like the pests that we are.

>>16739078 (OP)
There is so much open space in the west there is no need to high density housing, we simply need central planning to spread out from cities.
The free market won't spread out from cities because city development provides the highest ROI.

>>16739078 (OP)
Sounds like a nightmare for traffic. Also I don't really see the point in having roads for anything above the ground floor, you'd have to make and maintain very expensive car elevators or whatever.

>>16739078 (OP)
Kinda dystopian

Why are people here discussing the "intricate" details of a shitty ai generated image?

>>16741794
send this to the indian government ASAP
