Not only does it maximise space utility by eliminating roads for cars, it also replaces thousands of engines with several running parts to service the basic function of mobility. I think we can easily dismiss criticism about the sense of place if we recognise that this is a city based on ritual and time (the essentials of place making). The main technical challenge here is to reduce friction and control the city's buoyancy, a simplified problem.<br /><br />Just an opinion from an architecture graduate. Don't agree with most pessimistic critiques. I think this idea if pulled through is a very practical one!Yoon Menghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17773855560709267353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9986652.post-28820651990021058012012-02-18T02:39:32.661+00:002012-02-18T02:39:32.661+00:00how about just a rotating sidewalk in between sect...how about just a rotating sidewalk in between sections?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9986652.post-309780238430977262011-12-13T13:20:53.603+00:002011-12-13T13:20:53.603+00:00The Dizzy CityThe Dizzy CityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9986652.post-32440686256784143672011-11-11T06:22:36.601+00:002011-11-11T06:22:36.601+00:00if you build it like boats floating on water

Maybe it is feasible on the moon where there will less gravity, so the whole structure can maybe float a bit and pushed a bit to go in circles.

Right now I´m living in Tokyo, and most people conmute to work on train, and most cars you see on the streets are long distance or heavy delivery, and it´s simply great. By doing this you take out lots of noise and polution, so I can see the benefits of having a "walking only" city.<br /><br />Question is ¿how much energy would be needed to run a system like that? I guess that too much, and actually we can get results quite close to this with a decent public transport system.<br />Anyway it might be a good idea for a space station, as you could also use the movement to create gravity.<br />Actually there´s a game that features that same idea, it´s called Anachronox.<br /><br />Anyway I loved the animation and the idea.
