5 over 1 are rookie numbers. I want high towers, 30 floor minimum. Entire towns per block. Comercial, office space and residential on each one. I want the grocery store, the doctor office and a metro station on the same building I live.
People are replying to you like this is a pie in the sky fantasy, but actually this is an accurate description of Tokyo.
Sao Paulo is also close to this, but they don't have a lot of mixed use buildings. Ironically, you can find them in the richer neighborhoods, but those mfs fight tooth and nails against any expansion of the metro network close them.
It's ok. You keep expanding it on the direction of people that want it, and leave the dinosaurs to suddenly discover nobody want to live near them.
The problem is that some nice areas where people want to go, like the Ibirapuera park, or some other that people need to go, like business district (where the financial and tech companies of Brazil have their offices) are on those areas.
I also loved the game SimTower
You want the megablocks from Dredd or Cyberpunk 2077.
I don't even necessarily disagree with you, but, well, there it is.
More like The Plataform actually.
Its funny to play one of those games and shake my head, thinking, "Damn they were too optimistic."
