truly amazing !!
Wow now that’s talking future
it will be sympathetic if that is the future for Shanghai!
if “their population is raised by the pace of 3 BILLION every year”, then the city will have more than 6 BILLION people in two years, wich is almost the amount of all living people on earth. shouldn’t it be 3 MILLION instead of BILLION?

this suposed “super mega futuristic inovative idea” is 50 years old… the situationist movement, specially Constant with the new babylon project, came up with this kind of city.. but with a strong theory of society and urbanism… this shanghay proposal seems “empty”…
yes jade it says in the article that it increases by 3 million every year
