Japan Building back up for Tokyo?
0
Wow! I say if they have the money they should do it, having a backup capital city would be a huge lifesaver if anything happened to Tokyo.

Building a new one seems like a waste. an existing city should just be picked as a back up. and really, what is needed? a big room for politicians to gather, an office building, maybe some place to store backups of records and important documents.

However, with the addition of resorts, casinos, and other revenue making shit that may be in this new "city", at least it'll have a reason to exist other than wasting taxes on its electric bill.

They're building another Tokyo? Hell, next thing you know, they'll be building biomechanical mechas.

They are preparing for the Second Impact.
Seriously though, maybe building a back up city might be too much. Would it be completely empty until it is needed or would they eventually forget about it's intended purpose and just decide to live in it as a normal city even without an earthquake devastating Tokyo?

I think the idea is a bit too ridiculous. They can just pick another big city as back up. There's no point to build another from ground up and then just leave it there until they need to use it. TOO OVERLY POINTLESS

They don't need to back up. They just need to strengthen the defense of the current one.

a back up tokyo. Sure, waste the money on a new city and abandon the old one. make it a massive war zone for card games.

Its a sound idea yes, but as much in debt and broke japan is I doubt it will happen, the tower there talking about would be interesting, I remember a science channel program about a "sky city" essentially, a tower of the same specifications, if the could do it it be a wonderfully proof of concept.

Hmm..... sounds like a really good idea. But is it really worth the cost? Kinda don't think so. Guess it is better to just focus more on what they have.

There is no way something like this could ever be even remotely feasible from a budgetary perspective. Backups are extremely expensive things that exist for only the most crucial structures; a backup for an entire city is purely naive fantasy.

They are preparing for the Second Impact.LOL. That's what I thought too. I'd like to see it get done though. Maybe something underground. Wait, can they build anything really massive underground? Okay, maybe something in the sky, like a mechanical moon-city. Yeah, that's it...

So, where are they going to build it? In the bloody sky? Since Japan isn't exactly known for wide-open spaces if you didn't know that already.
Building a whole new capital city just to act as back-up seems pretty redundant and a bit silly.
Why not reinforce what they already have and expand government facilities in some other part of the country to be able to dub as "capital" in case of emergency. In same way, I don't see why a company wouldn't move it's chief offices to a smaller branch if their main building was floored (assuming they wouldn't high-tail it where it's safe).
Not to mention you'd probably want to fix up all that infrastructure damage since the last earthquake, before building a city that will require tons of power, water, etc.etc.
