First-Ever 3D-Printed Eco-City Approved in Pima County to House 100,000 by 2035
PIMA COUNTY, AZ – In a landmark decision that could reshape urban living worldwide, the Pima County Board of Supervisors has greenlit the construction of a fully 3D-printed, zero-waste metropolis dubbed "TerraHub." Slated for completion by 2035, the 10-billion-dollar project will house 100,000 residents in homes printed on-site using recycled desert sand and bioplastics, powered entirely by solar and hydrogen fuel cells. Critics warn of privacy risks from integrated AI monitoring systems, but proponents say the project will solve the Southwest's housing crisis and slash carbon emissions by 90%. The first move-in is expected within 24 months if autonomous printing robots clear regulatory hurdles.
