The Urban Landscape

Increasingly, smart people will use smart cards to use smart cars to travel on smart roads.--say that fast 5 times

Forests are man's cathedrals--bring them to the cities

For the relief of depression, walk alone in the woods.

Exercise should not be a special event, but part of daily urban life

Living in nature is the closest we can get to the mythical heaven

The keys to unlock the Human Spirit are the night sky, tress, music, and a baby at rest

Make $, build an open air mall in the woods on transit, with peripheral parking and electric golf carts.

Feeling disconnected from modern society and its urban landscape is a natural and appropriate reaction.

Urban nodes can recreate the extended family.

Living space for the old, the young and everyone in between can be integrated into the same location

Increasingly. people will live in dense self contained urban nodes where the emphasis will  be on integration, digitization, mass transit, electrical vehicles and green spaces.

Car ownership will decrease and will access rental vehicles for special purpose trips.

Roads will be digitalized and many will be reversed to bring goods into the city at night

Architects and urban planners will learn not to treat the environment as a blank slate.

Trades people will be given free accomodation simply to ensure that they will be avaiable in specifis urban nodes.

As the open city increasingly becomes our living, dining, family and exercise rooms, people will live in smaller and smaller spaces devoted primarily to sleeping and other private activities.

On line shopping will make up the bulk of our retail shopping.

Pitched roof will be white to reduce nocturnal radiation.

Flat roofs will be roof gardens and energy sources

Building lights will go off at night.

The Earth isn't getting hotter--it's just poor circulation
