Be interesting to see the plans for fire suppression.
That last paragraph sounds like a recipe for disaster.

As long as it helps combat climate change then nothing else matters.

Who would ever want to live like that?
I could barely stand having 5 neighbors in one building -- let alone 55,000.

Sad, I remember when we use to build big things. Now the only massive building project is our debt.

Let’s see...
Area that is prone to cyclones, check.
Area of high seismicity, including the possibility of earthquakes in the Magnitude 8 or 9 area, check.
What could possibly go wrong?

a mini city designed to combat climate change.
Envisioned as part of Tokyo's effort to protect itself from rising tides,
It won't work!!!
That much weight might make the whole Island tip over!!!!
O the huge manatee!!!!
Save the women and children!!!

Very, very tall buildings and extensive seismic activity. Always a good combination.

But wait a minute. Don't they have to go through some type of environmental-impact study and NIMBY protesters?
Isn't this type of thing against the very environment that it purports to protect?

At least there is no heavy aircraft traffic in the Tokyo area and never any problem with fog.

Good for Japan for taking on the complex engineering challenge of building a mile-high skyscraper.
We used to take on complex engineering challenges. Now we just give away free stuff to lazy people who can't even spell their own names.
