Would be so much more useful than the white-elephant football stadium which occupies this fantastic site
Of all the many “Smart-City” projects either proposed or being built, none has all these smart benefits…
- MODESTLY-SIZED – not impracticably enormous (e.g., “Shimuzu Mega-City Pyramid” and all other “Arcologies”)
- REALISTIC – not fabulously costly whimsy (e.g., Vincent Callebaut’s “Lilypad” and all other floating-city dreams)
- NOT IDEALISTIC FUZZY-MINDED FANTASY – e.g., “The Venus Project”
- TEMPLATE – could be easily and widely replicated, thus benefitting from economy of scale
- ECONOMICAL TO BUILD – Pyramids require shallower foundations and a lighter frame than vertical buildings, which are a constant challenge to gravity. Less building materials req’d, possibly utilising “engineered timber” with pre-fab “slot-in” apartments.
- AFFORDABLE RENTS – for people on normal salaries – not simply a bolthole for the super-rich
- eliminates URBAN SPRAWL which is monotonous, wasteful and unsustainable
- eliminates NOISE & DUST of motor traffic and endless “road-improvement” projects
- NATURE ZONE – tree cover of at least 30%, more than double the UK average
- MILLION-DOLLAR VIEWS from every apartment
- SHELTER from the elements – never have to face inclement weather
- EARTHQUAKE, STORM, FLOOD & FIRE safety
- VIRTUAL ISLANDS – therefore virtually CRIME FREE
- TOURISM POTENTIAL – Build it and they will PAY to come and see it..!
- TERRORIST PROOF – double-layered airport-style security control
- CHILD SAFE – no adult supervision necessary – no school run, no traffic, no lurking pedophiles, etc.
- SELF-WORTH enhanced by belonging to a genuine community
- ECO-FOOTPRINT greatly reduced
- QUALITY OF LIFE enhanced
- BEAUTIFIES & ENHANCES the landscape and conserves wildlife
- many, many more benefits can be viewed HERE
