A stupid idea

Roswell

I've come up with a stupid idea. The government could commission the creation of a new town, a bit like Milton Keynes.

But this time it would just be one massive skyscraper. Inside the skyscraper would be every facility - a post office, primary school, high school, college, university, offices, supermarkets, shops, hairdressers, a hospital, GPs.

It would be a bit like having a space station but on Earth.

    I don't think it's a stupid idea! But it would be massive! Good to have everything in one place though. Reminds me of some of the massive buildings in Hong Kong (and probably lots of other places too), homes, shops, entertainment and restaurants all in one huge complex. Fascinating place but probably not somewhere I'd want to live, I like the countryside far too much.

    This reminds me of when I was young. Most people my age were playing computer games or watching cartoons, I was sitting on the floor with A3 paper designing a space station with everything that people would need to live happily when the Earth is no longer habitable. I was an unusual child Joy

    If it could work I think what would be interesting about it is, there would be loads of countryside around this skyscraper so people could have both an urban and rural life combined easily. I understand what you mean about being an unusual child. I used to love playing SimCity and designing what I thought was the perfect city
