If my memory is correct, the biggest Soleri arcologies have been for 2 million. I think the HyperBuilding or some of the earlier arcologies are the highest. I...
Yes, of course we build up! The question only becomes how high? Of course it is theoretically feasible to make an arcology structure as high as any current...

Forgive the slightly troll-ish subject, but a possible bad side-effect of arcology just occured to me. Here in Montreal, we have a sizeable underground city....
Daniel, The economic value of a transit focus is definitely a valid point, and has been proven in almost every real city ever built. I think the solution (at...

Good point, Daniel. I think that, as with all designs, there are probably better and worse ways to make an arcology. Paolo has always talked about urban cores...
