Mega Tokyo Bay Pyramid to Provide 750,000 People Housing

Hoping to relieve its stress of alarming overpopulation, the world's most crowded city - Tokyo's construction industry has trained its sights on the only vacant lot around -- the waters of Tokyo Bay. Witness the impossible dream of city planners: to build a 3,000-foot pyramid over the water, with skyscrapers suspended like peapods within its enormous frame.


Called the Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid, it would stand a kilometer tall and provide housing for up to 750,000 people. Even more amazing, the entire construction process may proceed without the work of a single human builder. With the invention of new super-lightweight materials, humanoid robots and self-assembling structures, the pyramid might be the first city in the world to build itself!
Follow top builders and scientists in the U.S., Japan, Canada, Scotland and Wales hard at work tackling these and other problems as they set the stage for the construction of one of the most daring feats of engineering ever attempted.
