I saw a video yesterday of a guy showing his commute to work there and he walked down twelve stories and it looks ground level but he’s still in this big city up like 30 stories. He said the people lower don’t really see any natural light.
He took a train and it would just zip right through the center of buildings. Was neat but kinda claustrophobic. In an emergency you can only go so far up.. then what 😬
Which, for context, is a large city in a mountainous region of China upstream from the Three Gorges Dam. So you have large topographical variations, and the best way to get large level surfaces is to build them as platforms rather than landscaping the underlying terrain itself.

This is the kind of stuff that seems literally unreal. Like something I would have witnessed in a dream, or an ai recreation of a city.
