i wish they had time/ressources to build the city.

>>74747
Weren't they gonna bulldoze Berlin to do it? That sounds bad.

I mean, the Allies eventually did it for them, but still.

Palace of the Soviets, equally stupid.

>>73841
I heard that so many people could have fit in it condensation would have built up on the roof and caused it to rain.

>>74825
holy fuck. that's big. like really really big.

why didn't they build it?

>>74793
Nah, the image is some game concept art.

The plan mostly involved widening roads and building massive monuments and museums, not the concrete jungle in the anon's pic.

>>74858
As it turns out steel is better spent elsewhere, but it took a german offensive for them to figure that one out.

>>74893
so why didn't they just continue construction after the war

They built the foundation, but WWII got in the way so they had to dismantle everything and use the materials for railroads, defenses, etc.


But hey, at least the foundation made a nice pool!

I can't be the only one who thought of pic related when i saw this

>>74925
so why not just resume construction after WW2

>>74942
That's how revolutions tend to go, they end up just replacing the ruling class, giving a new set of people power and riches. Then they fall into the old patterns.

yes, the plan was to erase a large part of the old jew and bourgoies Berlin, to build instead the greatest city ever. Sound great to me.

There were still more pressing priorities after the fighting stopped. The USSR was in ruins.

Tatlin's Tower was another ambitious plan from around the time of the revolution. It was meant to be the Comintern headquarters. Inside the double helix were supposed to be structures that rotate at varying speeds (the main portion completing a rotation in a full year, the uppermost portion rotating once in a day).

Sort of like the palace, Tatlin's Tower was never built because nobody had the money, steel, manpower or gall to spare during or after the Russian Revolution.

The Cold War.

Not really a concept, but more of an idea. The idea was that cities would keep growing wider and taller to a point that buildings would block out the sun and you'd never have to go outside for transit.

It's from the 1927 movie Metropolis. I always found these few seconds of cityview really fascinating.

Walt Disney's utopia-city would have been pretty nifty.

>>75561
Where would it have even been built?

It was the original plan for Disneyworld Florida.

>>75877
A shame. Then again Florida is full of marsh lands so I'd imagine it'd be problematic to maintain. Thanks.

Is that pool still there?

God I love skyways. I wish they were more common.

Aesthetically a super city always seems fantastic. But knowing people in general I can only foresee failures. Unless the upper areas were enclosed in strong enough material or framework to prevent accidents.

>>75169
How can Communism even turn a swimming pool into something ugly and grotesque?

>>76767
What? 10 metres is enough to kill yourself so that doesn't matter at all.

>>76767
Enclosed skyways, anon.
