Ghost Leviathan posted:Oh hey, that's the one Digimon Cyber Sleuth is all about. For American planners, this sort of urbanism is largely well regarded but reviled by residents living in single family homes built by the likes of Henry Ford. Older generations have systemically driven this kind of thing away and divested In regionalism leading to sprawl. Investors and developers will only create what they can bring to market and the US seems actively hostile towards apartment buildings other than in "downtown" areas. Eventually developers just move the gently caress on because it can take a decade to bring this kind of thing to fruition with all the approvals and such. Planners tend to like density and mixed use and creating less dependence on cars.

Older generations have systemically driven this kind of thing away and divested In regionalism leading to sprawl. In my area most of the "outside downtown" apartments/condos/town homes built in the last decade have been mixed use from the ground up. They are peak toxic developer, as most of the commercial side is filled with boutique shopping and the units themselves are massively over priced.

It would be cool to have places to live, work, and shop all in close proximity so you don't have to travel far. And people invented a solution to that problem. It was Cities. That's what a city is. I don't really see the point in trying to make some grand scheme to get all of them in the same building, since probably the apartments' tenants won't align exactly with the businesses' need for workers, and the bigger you make the building to try to get enough people and things for all the numbers to add up, the less convenient it is to leave the building to get to any of the other hundreds of buildings in the vicinity and isolating the people within the building from their surroundings and removing the main advantage of being in a city. It'd probably work better for building like an isolated company town where people are already moving specifically for the job, but those normally don't have a crunch for space so there's no point concentrating them. I guess maybe antarctic research bases would count, but those are small and technically mobile.

I guess maybe antarctic research bases would count, but those are small and technically mobile. I mean any place getting close to the arctic circle I can see it being handy. Like it it's going to be -20C or what not for a good couple of months of the year, having you're Home, work, and shopping all in the same building so you don't need to go outside if you really have to seems like it may have some appeal. Also there are plenty of people who just go from work to home the entire week and don't really go out on the weekend. So for them good? Although some of that is just our current society being poo poo and overworking people to hell, so for that, Archeology would just be sort putting a band aid on arterial bleed so yeah actually solutions would be better. One thing it could be good for is just keeping traffic down, as it would cut down on the traffic in the city at large.

If you disregard the idealistic tenets that only the most hardcore futurists believe is achievable and just focus on the integrated living space aspect of it, then the closest thing we've come to realizing a persistent arcological space is a 20th century inception being the university/college campus with its walkable avenues to span the entire day of academic labors. Later on it was only natural for large corporations like Google and other companies to follow suit and create similar work parks in hopes of better erasing the line between work and checkout time.

I don't wanna do that, I just want to make a new building like this EVERY TIME GOING posted:In Destiny 2's lore the New Pacific Arcology was built on Saturn's moon Titan during the period of the Golden Age. It featured a massive city dome anchored to the submerged glacial shelf below one of Titan's methane oceans with its state of the art living and research facilities perpetually powered by an array of massive tidal generators. It was one of the more scenic locations in game with its high ceiling space odyssey plazas ringed by slick oil rig catwalks. And it's regrettable that Bungie decided to vault this map among others during the roadmap reshuffle in 2020 robbing the current generation of players out of a great scifi experience. maybe it's just not meant to happen in my lifetime

You would think a sprawling, culturally devoid suburban wasteland that's frozen half the year like SE Michigan would be capable of supporting some decent malls but most of them have failed catastrophically.

naem posted:people need jobs to earn money to have money to spend The mall in question straddles the county with the highest median household income in the state at around 80k/yr. The county its actually in makes about 65k/yr. Now, malls typically undergo a slow death. Lakeside was in decline since the early 2000s and GFC definitely hurt. But SE Michigan is pock marked with failed malls or malls hanging on by a thread (looking at you Oakland). The only two viable ones are Somerset, which is crazy high end, and Great Lakes Crossing, which is an outlet mall. I think its really just a combo of online shopping, the failure of big box stores, and people hating the idea of "just walking around" as leisure. SE michigan is also horribly planned generally and there aren't any controls in place to prevent centres from competing each other out of business. Every other development is some big box strip mall.
