There's hardly any room in Japan as it is. Where would they construct it?

An artificial island I guess... And you don't have to ask wether that's possible, because one of our provinces is an artificial island: Flevoland.

I was aware of artifical islands and I was thinking that. But still, building it would be one hell of a job. There are also all the safety features that would have to be thought out like fires, terrorist attacks, earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, monster attacks, etc.

They could destroy old housing structures.

This will be much more efficient in people per square mile. I mean, one million people in one square mile is insane.

That does raise a problem though: Wouldn't that single square mile be gruesomely overpopulated? I mean, even with a two and a half mile high structure, a million people is roughly the size of a small nation. Cities that size usually stretch out many dozens of square miles, and they usually have many skyscrapers and flats.
The rate at which resources would have to be brought in would be immense. And would people even be able to live permanently at two and a half miles height without any evolutionary adaption?

I see no point in creating this structure other than to just beat the record for biggest building. Too many problems stand in the way.

Creating a couple hundred billion dollar structure is totally not worth it just to say "it's the biggest".

Sure it would be home to many skyscrapers that would house people, but what's the point of the enclosure?

its to help support a "super" building... the buildings inside would be taller then the tallest building now, most likely much taller.

EDIT - oh and they build it in the ocean just off of japan

Just like building the whole thing to begin with... under water isn't exactly the world's best construction site.

Knowing current events, they'll probably build the whole thing and then the steel will get recalled...

This makes me remember laying SimTower and getting annoyed because simulated people are obviously inept when it comes to using elevators effectively.
