Civilisation is DYING for Oasis Cities (1)
As a consumerist civilisation with vast and ever-growing demands on Earth’s resources, the greatest challenge we face is….
How can we GREATLY REDUCE our CONSUMPTION & WASTE whilst GREATLY INCREASING quality of life, health, safety, community cohesion, and overall contentment..?
Oasis Cities are the SOLUTION to this seemingly impossible dilemma..!
Think of all the incredible technology we use in our daily lives – like the computer I am writing this on. With a few brief clicks I can access the most obscure pieces of information that would have taken hours, days, or even weeks of hunting in one of the worlds best-stocked libraries. Or I can download my musings to the internet, where it gets immediately exposed to a world-wide audience, at least potentially.
Compared with computers and the internet, and all the other remarkable innovations that we have so quickly taken for granted, what could possibly be cruder, more wasteful and complicated, more stressful, more antiquated – and finally more UNIMAGINATIVE – than Cities composed of COUNTLESS BUILDINGS of many shapes, sizes, build quality, and purpose..? All scattered untidily, haphazardly, and environmentally destructively, over a vast and undefined area..?
