Living in a big building. No I mean BIG.

If you've read Robert N. Charrette's ShadowRun books or if you've played the RPG of the same name, you're familiar with the concept of the Arcology.

In it's most basic terms, a city within a building, or a building that contains all the amenities required by a small city - from living quarters to shopping to travel and recreation.

Aside from the fictional treatment, there are serious proponents such as those at the Arcosanti Project.  Of particular interest is the section on Arcology Theory.
