Romans built 100th of thousands of big buildings in all their (then) modern cities. And almost all of it cheap for fast profit, like insulae where small flats where rented out. What’s left after 2 millenia is the 1 promille that was done with proper funding by decent craftsmen. It will be the same with the present cities. One will last to a thousand that will crumble to dust. People of 2000 years in te fuure will stand in awe looking at the one last standing stadium of the northern American continent…

I have often wondered why our roads and buildings don’t hold up the way those of antiquity do…. have we lost the “formula” for concrete?
