Megabuilding

Megabuildings, also referred to as mega-arcologies, are a prominent feature of the Night City skyline by 2077, functioning like cities within a city.

Background
Continuations of concepted arcologies of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, megabuildings were constructed in Night City after the Fourth Corporate War, such as the Watson Development, to house the thousands of displaced residents. Each megabuilding houses approximately 128,000 at maximum, having over 8000 apartments, with capacities of 16 per apartment. Megabuildings provide services such as residential housing, entertainment, food, and other services common in shopping mall experiences. Each apartment comes with mediacorp-promoted cable television, radio, and sensory feed access. Megabuildings also have rented corporate cops, although crime still remains a problem in many megabuildings. Nomad workers are utilized in the construction of many megabuildings, up to hundreds working on one at a time. The new generation of post-War megabuildings were stylized after the New Harbor Mallplex, later becoming the main residential areas of Night City by 2077.
