#54: Underwater Cities

As the coastal cities grows, the price per square meter increases as well. Will we reach a number where it becomes profitable to build mirror cities, underwater?

Now there are all sorts of problems here. Salted water is vicious to structures. Building anything behind meters of water collumn is a pain. 

But who knows, maybe that is a whole new world of challenges for engineers to solve.
