Megabuildings

Also referred to as megablocks are arcologies in the Cyberpunk world.

Purpose / Function

Each megabuilding could house an appropriate maximum of 128,000 residents, since they featured roughly over 8,000 apartments with a 16-people per apartment capacity. Each apartment came with a Mediacorp-promoted cable talevision, radio, and sensory feed access. Megabuildings also provided services beyond residential housing, such as entertainment, food, and others common to shopping mall experiences, and tried to offer security by means of rented corporated cops — Although crime still remained a problem in many of them.

History

A continuation of the late 20th and early 21st centuries' concept of an arcology, megabuildings wer designed to function as cities within a city. Following the Fourth Corporate War, thousands of Night City residents were displaced after that conflict and AHQ Disaster destroyed the homes of many more. In order to accommodate these people, between 2035 and 2045, the first mega buildings started to be constructed in the The Rebuilding Urban Center . Nomad workers were employed in their construction, with hundreds of them working on each megabuilding. This new generation of post-war multipurpose structures was stylized after the New Harbor Mallplex, which was also destroyed during the Fourth Corporate War. Megabuildings quickly become one of teh main residential options in Night City. By 2077 there would be twelve main megastuctures dominating Night City's skyline.
