DELTAPOLIS – the smartest “Smart-City”

If you wish to look into the future, look no further

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-SIZEDnot 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”
  • TEMPLATEcould 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 elementsnever 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 PROOFdouble-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
