Can a single city house 10 billion people sustainably?
In short: Architect Liam Young presents a visionary sci-fi safari through Planet City, an imaginary metropolis designed to accommodate the entire global population. This exploration moves beyond traditional urban planning to imagine what is truly possible for a regenerative future.
The presentation explores the architectural and spatial possibilities of housing 10 billion people within a single urban framework. By visualizing this extreme scale, Young seeks to identify sustainable solutions for human habitation on a planetary level.
Rather than focusing on current limitations, the talk uses high-end rendering to probe the boundaries of what is possible when design meets global necessity.
