These projects were dreamt up at a time when Japan had a growing population and booming economy. It has neither of those anymore. You can only justify such massive mega-projects if you have a HUUUGE population to begin with. Japan's population is expected to be halved by 2100. In fact the entire world is experiencing a demographic crunch as people stop having children in sufficient numbers to maintain population growth. Right now we have nearly 8 billion people, with the same population density as Afghanistan at 58 per square km. that's quite low since we have a TON of empty land to build on. America alone has enough empty, barren land to home billions of people. This isn't visionary, it's fucking megalomaniacal.

The problem comes into play with things like air pressure and temperature, also being affected by the weather. I think 10,000 or 15,000 feet is where the "death zone" begins for humans.

The X-Seed 4000, Shizimu Mega-City Pyramid, and the Tokyo Tower of Babel were all meant to be a methodical way to make a city inside a single building. That sounds weird, buildings inside a bigger building, but this was quite systematic because now, you can walk from your grandma's house on the other side of the city and stay in the same building. But no one wanted the idea of living in a city that has 1 building. Well, there's a town where everyone lives in 1 building. Its name is Whittier and it's in Alaska. But Whittier is just creepy. Unsurprisingly, no one wanted to spend more than the world's GDP on a 10,000-meter building that takes 150 years to build, so it wasn't built.

I guess with bigger projects like with tokyo, it begs the question why? What’s the advantage to cover a whole town with a building? So you can control the weather?

Honestly, the Empire State building, even if it isn't the tallest, is the most impressive.

Quite interesting many of the Chinese towers don’t need a “staff” to “boost” their height. (Maybe just because building today no longer chase the “Empire State Building” aesthetic) Shanghai Tower’s public observation deck is actually the tallest in the world despite being shorter than Burj Khalifa. You can also ride the “fastest elevator in the world” and see the mass damper on top. Burj Khalifa was going to be 1000 meters tall, but financial and structural challenges made them changed the height to something shorter as it is now.

[@SuzanoSho]

Burj Khalifa doesn't have a "staff" to boost it's height tho. It's 200 meters taller than the Shanghai tower and that's basically all maintenance floors, with actual equipment in them. It's observation deck is only 6 meters lower than Shanghai Tower's.

The square cube law probably means that buildings taller than 1000m are unfeasible/impossible. They simply won't be strong enough to stand on their own.

It’s actually not impossible because the reason why the base of the building is so big so it could not be able to fall. That’s how the tallest building today is not able to fall because they use that method.
