265,000 people per sqkm, that's some nice population density. Cool concept, but I wonder what they mean by "equitable views". I presume not all housing units will be on the edges given that it's 200m wide.
- LeoPanthera 4y agoMaybe housing will be on the edges, with commercial and industrial zoning in the middle.
- panick21_ 4y agoPopulation density is really the most important factor when considering building in a desert.
- olalonde 4y agoI had the same thought but at the same time, population density can be desirable in itself and not just out of necessity. I'd definitely rather live in a dense city rather than in the desert country side.
- panick21_ 4y agoI think that is very over-rated. Really nice cities with very urban environment don't actually have to be very dense, even if they feel like that. And places that are very dense can still be worse then a US subburb in terms of feeling like a city. One concept from a city planner said basically urbanism is not about density. Connectivity and access is what makes a good city, not density. You can have a city with anywhere between 50k and 5M feel very livable and nice. And you can have a city with between 50k and 5M feel like a lonely place. Its all about the city design.
