Pieter has voiced my thought also, thank you for this thought provoking video. I think perhaps though, there is no absolute withen the confines of such thinking. For a city such as emagined, will only exist to the capability of the support system. This would be of all that is required for living. Buildings or materials is not the issue, but food/medical and health is one of primary function of support. With out the support of medical access, deseases of what ever will go through such heavy populations like wild fire.
Whilst in nature, when a given population of what ever animals reach beyond what the food accesses are, the nature takes care of the problem with limiting new borns until the population has evened out with available food availability.
I think perhaps what is extremely deplorable, would/is a high possibility in the event of above with over population. That is the concept of food black mail by an out side entity, a certain measure of food, for a certain measure of value, pay or starve. It is not inconceivable for a nation with plenty, to then prey upon a nation{s} of want to then enslave the debtor nation for their workers to be paid in food allotments, so much food for a given measure of food, no work, no food.
In such a scenario, people become ruthless in what the human mind may conceive.
