More than a year ago, I wondered what modifications are needed on and in Earth in order for it to house 100 billion (1011) humans, without serious interference with other life forms.
X-SEED 4000: World’s tallest tower will house 1 million people falls short from being a full answer to such a question. However, the costs and engineering complexity seem to approach those needed for construction of a space station housing this number of people.

I am deaf since birth. I played with big computers which eat punched cards and spew out printouts since age 12. Ever since they became available, I work and play with desktop size computers which eat keyboard keypresses and spew out display pixels.
Among other things, I developed software which helped the deaf in Israel use the telephone network, by means of home computers equipped with modems. Several years later, I developed Hebrew localizations for some cellular phones, which helped the deaf in Israel utilize the cellular phone networks.
I am interested in entrepreneurship, Science Fiction and making the world more accessible to people with disabilities.

you know peachuk, not everything man will create from now till the end of history can be counted as a terror target, it just can’t work like that…
as for who will live there? I saw people buy real estate in the ugliest, most desolate places, you can do much worse…
I can’t see this monstrosity EVER being built – it would be too much of a terrorist target for a start and who in their right mind would ever want to live in such a place ?
