That's a different part of China, but I can tell you that I know of at least one functional automated building solution under heavy R&D right here in Shenzhen with a reported R&D-only capex of over USD$1M/month.
Will it happen? Yes.
- ChuckMcM 9y agoThat is good to know. I expect that one possible future has rising sea levels creating 'cities on demand' on higher ground as people wait to the last minute to adapt. With a capability inland of the level projected by Broad group it would be possible to create housing for over several million people per year.
- contingencies 9y agoCentrally conceived housing projects don't exactly have a glowing report card.
- ChuckMcM 9y agoNo, they do not. That said, the capability to house millions of people in 'new' construction over a short period of time (less than a year) is a new capability that is only now becoming possible. One of the things I try to avoid is assuming that problems that had either no solution or only bad solutions in the past, continue to have only bad solutions.
