SkyCity-1000 is more realistic.....
X-Seed 4000 in Tokyo
This 4000 m+ building is damn impressive and it should definitely be built. What do you think about it?

WOW!
Wow! OMG! This is the first high-resolution picture of X-Seed 4000 that I have ever seen before. This pic clearly shows the magnitude of this building. If this ever gets built it would dwarf puny Burj Dubai. I mean, this thing not only is four kilometers tall (taller than Mount Fuji) but also big enough to house over a million residents.
If only Japan continued to grow at such breakneck pace after 1989 as it had in the 80's (or if Japan had not experiences a bursting of its bubble economy) and if it's population still kept climbing (possibly through immigration--if it followed the same policies as the United States and Europe) then this thing would have already been built considering the ingenuity of the Japanese people and their obsession with mega-projects.
Sadly, this will remain a fantasy or vision project for Japan. But, hey...who knows...maybe Japan's giant neighbor China might incorporate this structure into their landscape with minor changes with the design to adapt to the current or even more futuristic architectural designs (possibly for maximizing land space so as to free-up some spaces to add for more farmland lost through the construction of its 85,000 kilometer expressway network). I sure hope it would be in Shanghai. Hehehe. But, obviously would have been great, too, in Tokyo (the world's only ultra-city).
