That’s way more than the population of the whole town I live in.
Why do such monolithic buildings give me such hell-on-earth vibes?
Arcolgies can be a cool idea though if done right. Granted it hasn’t been done given the amount of resources, planning, logistics, etc required. Still, cool idea.
i too played simcity
Should look up this place called Arcosanti. An interesting ongoing project, decades in the making.
I have in-laws living in China, and honestly - it’s a lot easier to navigate those sorts of high rises than you might think.
Most residential buildings I’ve visited have lots of dedicated lifts, so only 2 apartments per floor share one lift. So you would only need to provide something like: Tower 37, Floor 19, Apartment 2.
The Chinese love their delivery apps, too - their drivers (technically scooter riders) are very used to this.
Now the city of Chongqing is a whole seperate matter, that place is an M. C. Escher drawing in real life!
Any apartment building that size should have a couple floors of retail, especially food - they would make a fortune. If I lived there I would illegally sell teriyaki or something out of my apartment. Better still, run it like a street drug business - pay cooks and delivery people, and have distributors in between - they alone know where the kitchens are. Eventually it’s the chicken fingers episode of Community.
We’ve heard about car brain, this is its cousin, detached house brain.
Tall, wide, building, scary!! OoooOoOooOoOoh
A bit defensive there…. It’s quite literally a harmless meme
Also, how does this have anything to do with house brain? Most hotels and apartment buildings don’t even come close to the sizes of some of these massive ones in China.
This might be better than most apartments I’ve lived in tbh, so it might work if looking out of the window and having the inescapable trap of modern life hit you in the face isn’t a deal breaker for you
It all looks so short, like are the ceilings really low or is the camera just being held by a giant?
Is that a refrigerator in the living room, and a tv over the stove?
If I search the name, half the articles say 20k, other half 30k. Honestly, I have serious doubts about both figures…
I think the capacity is 30k, but 20k people currently live there
Am I the only one who worries first about trash collection day than pizza delivery (wildly unpopular in China btw)?
I’d assume the building has a trash collection chute. My old apartment building had one.
I was more thinking about the day they take the containers out, and the trucks rotation. If they do it once a week, imagine the smell and how many trucks they need…
I imagine with that many people there are restaurants and services within.
I am the pizza delivery boy.
The Deliverator for Uncle Enzo’s CosoNostra Pizza Inc
Unfortunately he is tied up at Peach Trees, trying to deliver justice to Ma-Ma.

I wonder how may people have multiple lovers in this building, you know people be fucking they neighbors with this many options
Imagine the condominium meetings
Does it have schools and shops too?
Now imagine a fire breaking out 😬
