As More And More People Populate The Planet,

are super condos a part of the answer?

photographs screen shots, like this one in Qianjiang Century City, Hangzhou’s central business district in China, originally it was a hotel, but its use has been converted, the building is 206 meters tall and has 36 to 39 floors, depending on what you’re side of it you’re on, and as any building housing a community of this size it is pretty much self contained, 

the building contains a giant food court for its tens of thousands of inhabitants, as well as swimming pools, barber shops, nail salons, medium-sized supermarkets, and internet cafes, so you pretty much do not have to ever leave the building! for more information about the building and rents have a look here,

so how many people occupy the 260,000 square meters of space? the number of inhabitants has been a matter of debate on Chinese social media, but judging by the number of rooms and the number of floors, it is estimated that between 11,000 and 22,000 people live in the building at any given time, so could super condos like this be the answer to housing people in the future? I just hope you do not have a neighbour who is into loud music or plays musical instruments in the early hours of the morning!
