If so, it will only be because nobody actually wants to live in an arcology. It's been decades, and the place is nowhere near "mega". I expect the first one will go up a lot faster. Heck, the Burj Dubai is a better choice for the first arcology.

How's that, exactly? I'll give you "attractive", but the latter seems hard to support logically.

Sure, compact cities are efficient.
Making the leap to the idea that they improve the likelihood of our long-term survival as a species is fanciful, at best.

I also strongly doubt that the collapse of civilization=human extinction. Resource crises might cause the former, but they are unlikely to cause the latter.

I'm waiting for the day when we can build something like this: Shimizu TRY 2004 Mega-City Pyramid. Obviously influenced by the Tyrell Corporation.

YES! We must return to Manorialism! Diocletian had it right!

Megacity? Rapture? No. Good idea falling apart at the seems due to lack of leadership and no funding. Yes.
