This is cool but I feel like you people are forgetting about idk the water table. Also I wonder how bad a flood would be if you have several million people underground and a wave washes over the entries of the earth scraper. Also I'm not even sure what problem this would solve. So you take up the same area but instead of going up you go down? This reminds me of the city youtubers that show off concept art of skyscrapers covered in foliage and trees. Then explaining the reason they can't have it is bc "capitalism". Not understanding that the foliage would just rip apart their buildings

Not a bunker… but a great solution to avoid everything that’s going south above ground 😂

im pretty sure the poor and working class will live down in a earthscraper all the movies always say so

only downsides in my opinion

You have forgotten I Grosvenor square at around 200 million dollars. Plus Milton triplex Penthouse knightsbridge at 160 million dollars. And 10 Trinity square Penthouse at around 120 million dollars. Plus there's many more.

WTF 6:10

This is a terrible idea, especially for HVAC.

If it’s true finally

Like Tokyo2 Evangelion

it would make sense we produce so much carbon based emissions and everything in and close to the ground eats it

Very cool and promising. I think the sweet spot, though, is a blend of both. Skyscrapers, with a very, very deep basement. Live above, put the pumps and other machines below. Also... - We already anchor our skyscrapers with pylons that go down to bedrock, this is just making use of that space. - Grow hydroponics in the underground area, helping to filter the building's air and provide fresh food. Not likely enough to sustain, but it'll help. - Circulate the air. In summer, bringing up the cool air from below will keep the higher levels cool. Likewise in winter, the deep air is slower to cool, and can thus warm the higher layers.

Maybe we should start from simpler, shallow structures? Small underground houses in hot places for savings on AC... Made from prefabricated concrete for cut price. Not underground sci-fi city costs billions.

Simple solution for population - population control for the countries who cannot control their population. Shifting people around while the population continues to grow does not solve anything.

So America needs to have a population of a 900 million before we build this. I can drive in some states for 10 hours and not run into a major city. Some states it’s just freeway for 10 hours before you even find a city

They need to do this before apophis hits earth

They wouldn't need to start at scraper lv depth, they can do maybe 6 levels 1st

I live in Kuwait, this is not gonna happen 😂

This does beg the question why so many European mega cities with little space have massive supermarkets above ground with not a single window in them

Or maybe, just maybe, before trying to bury the world population alive, limit birth rate for a few decades until world population gently falls back to more sustainable levels.

Scam video... We are doing nothing... We have nothing... Boring city

prone to flooding

The real govt has always been underground.

And where exactly is all that earth going to go?

I can imagine, people who cant afford nice homes live at the bottom.. Oh its only on the Sub 5 Level! You still get a bit of sunlight

Cube looks amazing

The whole world is run by a dictatorship of families that gradually controlled the earth that uses religion and that’s why there is no diversity and everything is basically the same and why A sexual rights is put lower than transsexual rights because people would become completely separated from their influence. Same is true for underground cities. The environment would be a much better place and same would be true for quality of life and underground farming would increase land yield.

yes ma'am this will do!

It's a lot of money to leave in the dump of our country.

Isnt it the same as a normal skyscraper tho? It takes up the same amount of space as a normal skyscraper and you cant build above it since it requires space for sunlight to get in. It wouldnt really save up space. But if we could find a way to also build something above it while also letting enough sunlight through then i could see this as a very interesting idea.

There’s a Chinese company that has built literal villas using 3D technologies & not just a examples.

Pros and cons. One is land slide, erosion and cost. It a lot of work to do water and waste. As well power if fail it would flood the place. Barrier set up and it would cost more so it not worth doing unless design different.

A project invented by a person who never got to dig deeper than 2 meters/6 ft. It's not earth that's the problem, its water. Water everywhere, it seeps from water horizons, it falls from the sky, it leaks and condensates. Unless you build it in like desert or permafrost, just to have any space underground not flooded immediately you'd need to fight with several hundred cubic meters of water (which is like VERY HEAVY) every day. Try saving energy when lifting 100 to 500 tonnes of water to the surface per day is the first requirement already

With environmental damage it would protect humans

You missed the complications with heat dissipation. It'd need to be much bigger to house us all or have massive heat radiators on the top.

All I can think of is The Towering Inferno and Thunderbirds City of Fire when I saw the title and thumbnail from this video

I live here for more than a year no changes so far

Hi Real Ezy, I see you’ve got great information to share with your audience, but without a hook or exciting animations, the videos may not perform as well as they could. I can help elevate them to the next level! We could collaborate on a video if you’re open to it-I'm a map animation expert and can provide the enhancements you need. Do you need a video editor for your channel?

At some as yet unknown point, after the climate reaches equilibrium with the volume of GhG we have put back into the atmosphere (and still putting in), the only livable places on the Earth will be subterranean. Seems farfetched, but it's not. It's simple, or not so simple, atmospheric physics. We dug up energy that has been buried for millions of years and reintroduced it back into the climate system (that has been geared for less CO2). So much so that positive feedbacks are kicking in, so nature is releasing GhGs without direct human action. Namely methane and nitrous oxide, which both are more powerful heat trapping gases than carbon dioxide, and break down into carbon dioxide as a natural part of their life cycles. We will have to figure out how to grow food down there. If we can't, we are done. We're in for a much bumpier ride.

A prison, sure.

Basically how mars will be colonized, because of cosmic radiation and the abrasive sandstorms.

Sure, let's just completely ignore the Mouse Utopia experiment....

LOL, in what world would digging a skyscraper sized hole into the ground cheaper than just building tall?

The worst idea in the world. Wait for a disaster, a collapse, a fire or whatever. It's a death trap. A high-rise building is ventilated and in the worst case, you can go down the stairs, they can take you out by helicopter. Try to escape from a hole by climbing 50 or 100 floors by stairs.

Soon or later we will have Tesla Tower here in America probably in my hometown NYC

Call the fire department everyone below is screwed heat wave outside that's fine let's pump that hot air in the building ...... dumb garbage a couple houses sure but 400 is not practical

Dwemer in nutshell

How do we even deal with sewage? There will have to be a system to pump raw sewage back up to the ground level, and you better pray it doesn't suddenly malfunction.

END OF D WORLD

Would leaving gaps and spring like connections between the earth and the building make it more resistant to seismic activity? As for water, there could be pumps that would send excess water back to the surface. For sunlight, we could direct it underground with mirrors maybe?
