It is exactly this kind of a city that has to be constructed in Eastern Europe to boost its regional development.
Such a city of the future is a so-called arcology - a construction built along architectural design principles aimed toward creation of enormous habitats (hyperstructures) of extremely high human population density. The word "arcology" derives from a combination of "architecture" and "ecology", and refers to what architect Paulo Soleri calls a "hyperstructure": a self-contained structure containing a variety of residential and commercial facilities, possibly economically self-sufficient.
There are various types of arcologies, but the Shimizu Pyramid City Project in Tokyo is one of the most advanced and incorporates the whole set of innovative solutions: starting from special robots to construct those pyramids...
...till profound transport system.
