It sounds to me as if you're talking about an Arcology. Take a look at
Arcosanti.
Or if you'd prefer speculative fiction, read
Oath of Fealty by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. They describe a working arcology - people live there, work there, eat there, play there. Many never leave the building. Always, though, the design is being tinkered with. The initial planning was long and thorough - then they realised that they hadn't included an undertaker. And so on.
