From http://www.sidewalkinc.com/ http://www.sidewalkinc.com/: "By 2050, the population in cities will double"
Is the best solution a frontal attack? Or could it be moving away from existing cities?
Could one design a new city from scratch?
- stephenr 11y agoIf you pack a lot of people in to smaller/denser living spaces like rats, they will still live like rats, regardless of of whether the bus shelter is able to wish them a happy birthday.
- jarek 11y ago> Could one design a new city from scratch? Yes, but the result is Milton Keynes.
- gull 11y agoThanks for Milton Keynes but that can't be the only result in the whole world. One proposal is Arcosanti, an urban laboratory focused on innovative design, community, and environmental accountability. https://arcosanti.org/ https://arcosanti.org/
- jarek 11y agoWith all due respect to the project, I don't consider a 150-person community a city. Letchworth is closer but it's still not going to tip the scales or become a second Newcastle or London anytime soon.
- dasmoth 11y agoMilton Keynes clearly isn't the only possible result. Even I kind-of like Letchworth, and I'm really not a town/city person.
