Arcologies

In our first look at possible futures for Earth we examine the concept of Arcologies, self-sufficient habitats that adapt the concepts we've previously considered for space stations and off-world colonies to Earth itself. We'll examine the original concept, the more modern one of giant structures that dwarf skyscrapers, and under what circumstances such ideas can be practical.
