City in PYRAMID@Tokyo


Friends have u ever thinked of a city in pyramid...here it is. The Shimizu TRY 2004 Mega-City Pyramid is proposed project for construction of a massive pyramid over Tokyo Bay in Japan. The structure would be 12 times higher than the Great Pyramid at Giza, and would house 750,000 people. If built, it would be the largest man-made structure in Earth's history. The structure would be 2,004 meters high and would help answer Tokyo's increasing lack of space, although the project would only handle 1/47th of the Greater Tokyo Area's population.

Dimenssions:

Perimeter of the foundation above ground would be 2,000 metres (2,200 yd). Area of the foundation is 8 square kilometres (3.1 sq mi). Infrastructure is an area of approximately 25 square kilometres (9.7 sq mi). Gross building area is about 88 square kilometres (34 sq mi) of facilities layers:
Layers 1 to 4: residential, offices, etc.
Layers 5 to 8: research, leisure, etc.
The height of each layer is 250.5 m (for 8 layers, the pyramid is 2,004 m tall).
The pyramid structure would be composed of 204 smaller pyramids stacked eight high. Each of these smaller pyramids would be about the size of the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas.

Interior traffic:

The Transportation within the city would be provided by accelerating walkways, inclined elevators, and a personal rapid transit system where automated pods would travel within the trusses its really awesome.
Housing and office space would be provided by twenty four or more 30-story high[2] skyscrapers suspended from above and below, and attached to the pyramid's supporting structure with nanotube cables.

Expectations:

According to Discovery Channel's documentary on the pyramid it would be complete within the year 2110.
