>game made in 2011>the setting? 2027Yeah I'm thinking we should put in an infrastructure project so overly-ambitious it would take 100 years to attempt even with super scifi tech

>>736424937How is 41 years for normal construction comparable to 16 for insanely difficult construction?
>>736424937What is the secret to such progress and civilizational development in such a short time period? And don't say "no niggers".
>>736424474China could do this in 20 years.

>>736426767Kill all billionaires and capitalism so money and resources get diverted to actual progress of civilization.
Of course, OPs pic related is in fact bad and awful. Deliberately so! Greenfield developments are possible (think of Egypt's New Administrative Capital, Dubai, or Shenzhen), and although the first two in particular are also rather dystopian, at least they haven't had the "bright" idea of monetizing sunlight.The city of the future looks like, well, a lot like city of the past, except that they are clean (rather than horse dung of the yesteryear, or ubiquitous smog and human urine and the like that characterized many places just a few decades ago), safe, green, and some gadgets use more modern tech (like modern low-floor trams instead of streetcars of late 1800s and early 1900s).
>>736426767Remove any sort of democratic checks and balances so that there's no red tape or enviromental concerns to stop your projects>>736427032Deng Xiaoping sends his regards, bitch
>>736426594Upper Hengsha wasn't developed from the civilizational level of mud huts. China's tech tree was already at the level needed to build modern cities like Lower Hengsha. The upper city wasn't built over some post-agricultural wasteland, it already had an existing city infrastructure in place.Nowhere does it say that upper Hengsha was built in 16 years. It's your assumption that DX:HR timeline started diverging in the year the game came out. You're also going by the release year instead of the initial conception of what the game was going to be about, including locations. This happened in 2007.
>>736426767Centralized governments get shit done fast.Problem is, they get anything done fast. So if they have a bad idea, they end up killing millions of people.But it's all worth it for the forward march of progress.
>>736424474There is no way that above-city id structurally sound. It needs at least, like... 100% more pillars. Maybe 200%.
>>736426767Be a completely broken failed communist state. Suddenly one day decide making money is okay, and open up to foreign trade. The magic of capitalism.
>>736426767Shenzhen's entire existence is to mog and cannibalize Hong Kong. Most industries and business connections get transfered after 97 and China did throw entire country worth of effort building it up. The left side swamp area of the bottom pic is Hong Kong. It's kind of like Tijuana.
>>736424474We would already be deep into the spaceage if it wasn't for niggers and jews.
Op, based on PKD works, we to have had this by 1982.
