LOL. Perhaps they should also have a groceries sector and a parks sector (as far from the living sector as possible preferably). IMHO zoning is bullshit. I still believe in intelligent design for cities but only as long as it actually is intelligent, not just pretty-looking. Perhaps we could even use algorithms to optimize the layout.

- qwerty456127 7y agoWhat about redundancy? Every road can be closed for construction (or by an accident) and the city should keep functional with all the places still accessible and without other roads overwhelmed. Can a fungus take care about that?
- legulere 7y agoZoning can also be a good thing, e.g. for keeping loud factories away from residential areas. The problem is more if your zoning regulations don’t allow for mixed use development.
