The Problem:
Effeciency of Cities distributing pollution

The Social Invention:
All housing shall be within walking distance of schools, hospitals, businesses, government and industry with all thoroughfares covered by solar collectors. Essentially infrasruture shall be micro localized so the globe shall be covered by a grid of interconnected towns and all needs within each localized society will be fulfilled from within it all the while collecting energy from the sun. All aspects of society shall be monitored by computers and all city environments shall be built "robotically" (see www.contourcrafting.org)first planned in computers for maximum solar gain and pedestrian thoroughfare efficiency.

Essentially all public life will be focused on reducing focused stress on all aspects of biological environment by distributing workload and making collaboration between private interprize and government standard practice. Internet being the connecting feature of society with democracy being internet based and voting being done on all aspects of society. Societal responsibilities shall be known by all, in other words each individual shall be a "jack of all trades" and will be able to trade jobs with others when one needs a change of pace.

Corndogg 29 Jan '07 18:38	Subject: Sounds great, but How to get such a project up and running? I would think it would need to begin with a completely new city, so China comes to mind. Existing cities could be retro-fitted, as it were. But who's going to take the initiative?
