The Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid - Tokyo


This is a huge pyramid that the Japanese are planning to build in the bay in Tokyo. It's pretty ugly I think, but also pretty amazing! It's a whole city! It has skyscrapers, parks and a transport system that runs through all the trusses...trams for long journeys and moving walkways for journeys up to 1km!
It can house 750,000 people, without there being a single car! It's 55 times bigger than the Great Pyramid and the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas (the yellow triangle shown)...which is pretty big!
Helicopters can even fly through it! Ooo!
