If so why hasn't anyone done it?

Possible. Extremely expensive and many risks (natural disasters, engineering miscalculations, etc.)

everything is possible. An underwater city is possible. Nobody has done it coz- v havent got that much of technology yet. One day it is possible... but what is the need? do u wish to have more population in the world? this type of city will b made when there is no place for people to live on land......imagine! so much population! I dont like this idea of building this underwater city.

is totally posibble and a cool idea, the presure is not a risk because if you use hormigon the pressure is not a problem, in the actua life engineers of the world can make the calculus for an extraordinary underwater city. If you put the UC (underwater city ) is a good place, far away of volcanoes, eruptios... you can make possible.

Everyone here is right. Possible, but really expensive. Ever fly over the United States? Endless unpopulated real estate. Only people that were raised in cities feel the need to escape like that. Build yourself a house in Wyoming, or central Wisconsin. I can't see my next neighbor, but I'm 20 minutes from Milwaukee and 1 hour from Chicago.
Why bother?

Absolutely. In fact we are starting our way there already. There is already an underwater hotel that is 60 ft underwater and there is even a private suite that is only accessible by submarine, I believe it was somewhere like $24,000 a night though. All we need is a source of oxygen and food and we will survive.
Nothing is impossible with human ingenuity and time.

Its possible I don't doubt it. No one's done it cause of all the obvious consequences and we're desperate but we're not that desperate yet. It would be awesome but it would mess with the whole system without a doubt. Cool in an amusement park sense, not so much a real deal underwater city. I don;t doubt if sharks and whales decided it was more fun on earth we'd welcome them with open arms(if it were possible).

I imagine a dome could be constructed out of clear plastic. It would be one heck of a mold but if they can build a bridge, I suppose they can build a 1000 foot plastic bubble. Pump the water out, seal the bottom, install an air supply and watertight hatches.
Why hasn't anyone done it? Cost, most likely. But I like the idea. You would be in unincorporated territory. You might even qualify for foreign aid. And I've always wanted to live in an octopus' garden, in the shade. We could sing and dance around, because we'd know we can't be found. And we could be so happy, no one there to tell us what to do . . . bum bum bum, I'd like to be, under the sea, in an octopus' garden, in the shade.

If you can have an underwater hotel why not the rest of the city.
You just will have to convince people of a reason to live (not just visit) under water vs land.

It is possible. It hasn't been done because it is so expensive compared to having it on land.

I'm not sure, but i would think that the massive amounts of pressure from all the water would be a very trying architectural puzzle. i think space cities would be easier.
