I saw a special about one on plan that would be a city. There was shopping, recreation, a school, apartments and offices in the same building.

A city-building that is, say, 9 city blocks square or (better yet, 16 city blocks square) and a half-mile tall would be far more impressive than all these skinny towers.

The Japanese, with such limited ground area in commerce centers, seem to be looking at such. Buildings that could withstand tsunamis and earthquakes. People could spend most of their lives working and living in such buildings.
