I have in-laws living in China, and honestly - it’s a lot easier to navigate those sorts of high rises than you might think.

Most residential buildings I’ve visited have lots of dedicated lifts, so only 2 apartments per floor share one lift. So you would only need to provide something like: Tower 37, Floor 19, Apartment 2.

The Chinese love their delivery apps, too - their drivers (technically scooter riders) are very used to this.

Now the city of Chongqing is a whole seperate matter, that place is an M. C. Escher drawing in real life!

That's way more than the population of the whole town I live in.

Why do such monolithic buildings give me such hell-on-earth vibes?

Because that's exactly what we've created.

It's a matter of perspective and use


high density one place means you can have open space somewhere else, for a given amount of land.

I'd much prefer a few large dense housing complexes, surrounded by green space, than suburban sprawl.

Arcolgies can be a cool idea though if done right. Granted it hasn't been done given the amount of resources, planning, logistics, etc required. Still, cool idea.
