WHERE IN THE WORLD..?

 

I am frequently asked – “WHICH country are you proposing OΔsisCities for?”  

“EVERYWHERE” because, unlike one-off vanity projects like Abu Dhabi’s vastly expensive “Masdar” publicity stunt, the OA-City template is adaptable to every environment.   That said, the concept is especially appropriate for car-crowded highly-developed countries where concern for the environment is highest.   

 The multitude of burgeoning environmental, economic and social dilemmas, which OA-Cities can alleviate, are common to all advanced countries.  But every country has its own unique problems and priorities, for example….    

BRITAIN (for that matter, all of W.Europe)

• OVER-POPULATION –
  • of both people and vehicles, especially England now the most densely-populated country in Europe
• LAND SHORTAGE
  • More of England’s land surface is covered by housing and roads, etc., than any other populous country (if we exclude mini-states)
  • This is largely due to a British cultural attachment for houses rather than apartments/flats, as epitomised in the saying “Every man’s house is his castle”.
• COUNTRYSIDE PRESERVATION 
  • England’s storied and enchanting landscape is being eaten-away by low-density housing development, together with associated roads and “retail parks”    
• MASS IMMIGRATION – 
  • of largely un-assimilable and often resentful 3rd world people is leading to the destruction of European peoples, their culture and civilisation

BULGARIA & other Balkan nations 

• MASS YOUTH EMIGRATION to W.Europe –
  • Bulgaria’s pop’n has declined from 9 million to 7 million since 1989
• INEXPENSIVE LAND and LOW LABOUR COSTS 
  • OA-Cities would be much more affordable to build than in W.Europe
• IMMIGRATION FROM W.EUROPE
  • OA-Cities would encourage immigration that would stimulate the Balkan economies 
• COULD RE-POPULATE SOME GREEK ISLANDS
  • Who hasn’t dreamt of living on an island..?

RUSSIA & UKRAINE

• HARSH FREEZING WINTERS –
  • In OA-Cities, residents will be well-insulated from the harsh winters and most will not need to go outdoors

ISRAEL 

• DEFENSIBILITY –
  • vulnerable to terrorist attacks and will always be threatened by invasion.  
• LAND SHORTAGE –
  • very densely-populated tiny territory, mostly desert  
• HOT SUMMERS –
  • insulation from the summer heat
• ARIDITY –
  • OaCities will collect and conserve water and consume much less 
  • and they will “green” the surrounding land
• KIBBUTZ –
  • OΔCities share many co-operative features of the Kibbutz, but not the austerity and will have broader appeal

JAPAN & KOREA –

• SEVERE LAND SHORTAGE –
  • very mountainous and densely populated
• COLD WINTERS, HUMID SUMMERS  –
  • insulated from weather extremes
• STRONG SOCIAL COHESION –
  • opposition to multiculturalism and “diversity enrichment”

USA 

• CRIME 
  • rapidly escalating, esp in cities with large “minority” groups 
  • much of it deliberately targeted at white people – e.g., home invasions and the “knockout game”
• COMING ANARCHY
  • Antifa and BLM anarchy will spread as police forces lose their authority
• INDIVIDUALIST NATURE
  • will inspire many “themed” OA-Cities, and some quite wacky ones no doubt

AUSTRALIA –

• ARIDITY – 80% is desert or semi-desert 
  • Dr Benjamen Gussen (University of Southern Queensland) proposed that Singapore establish a charter-city in NW Australia. Straits Times (24/01/17)

S.AFRICA –

• HIGH CRIME –
  • relentless and malicious media vilification poses constant danger for the increasingly vulnerable white minority
  • OaCities would facilitate the establishment of “intentional communities”, such as Orania  
• ARIDITY
  • Coastal regions of Northern Cape Province could harvest sea-mists enabling greening of the semi-desert landscape
