Could large space ships land safely

+0
−0

Thinking about the question about Arcologies I was wondering using known science and even a little speculated science would it be possible to safely land a large space ship on a planet similar in size to Earth with a similar atmosphere?

I'm talking about city sized space ships holding 100,000 plus people maybe even a million. I'm not asking if it would make sense to land such a craft (generally I'd say no) but would one be able to land without burning up or falling apart or killing thousands on impact? This is assuming no 'anti-gravity' generators. Also the ship was designed for space travel, So it might need to reconfigure for a landing as well...
