It's, like, this ginormous thing they're making in Japan. It's supposed to be a self-contained--
Eh, f*** it. Here's a quote from GFF.

So here's the deal. In an attempt to clean up all the crowded and polluted city areas, some architectual company in Tokyo is attempting to make a gigantic self contained "skyscraper" with its own shops, parks, transportation system, etc. This thing is over 3 times the size of the Eiffel tower and called Sky-City.

It might be way too ambitious for its own good and have the plans fall apart, but as of now, its pretty damn interesting.

Is that really that big though for a whole city with malls and stadiums and housing complexes?

I don't. If so many people live there= more ofa chance that it could be held for ransom by someone. We don't have anyone from Contra to stop them, so I'm not lookin' forward.
