What is a 21st Century City?
A city in the distant future? I hope not. First understand. Our earth and its atmosphere are a closed natural system. Even though we have been pumping tons of carbon pollution into it for over a century and we can’t see it, doesn’t mean, it’s not there. It has been absorbed into the plants and oceans. There is a point of no return within a closed environmental system. When its normal recycling system gets over loaded, where we produce more pollution that the natural system can handle. This is an over loaded, or backed up system, like when your septic tank is full, it backs up into the house. The earth is our house, I feel we have reached this point, if we don’t change, it will be our own demise.
So, what is a 21st Century City? There is no true definition of such at this time. I believe I can define the term. I see it as a fully sustainable city, a city in the very near future. A city that utilizes photovoltaic solar, wind and architecture designed with passive solar, all designed into a building’s given design. A city that isn’t dependent upon the need for big power plants, or a car to get around a city, where buildings power themselves, where people move about easily, where people live and work and play in a clean and quite environment. It doesn’t exist at this point in time. This is my God given vision of such a city.
I am looking to build cities that are of the Earth, within and part of the Earth, to coexist with the planet. Living within Earthing Principles. People with a Universal human mind set. Creating a transcendent reality with network intelligence. We as humans need to learn to nurture nature and live within it.
This is why I am starting 21st Century Sustainable City Development. I will develop and build such a city somewhere in the United States as an example for other cities to follow, a city that will utilize all clean technologies. A city that would be environmentally friendly for the planet as well as the people who live in it, buildings that are highly efficient and create no carbon
We need to move on from the archaic ways of the 1900’s quickly. We need to eliminate gasoline, oil and coal from our daily diets by 90% A.S.A.P. Sure we still need oil and natural gas for some things. Eliminating it from our trucks, cars and power plants is a big step. That’ll move us forward. As we get smarter in the next few years, than we can learn to get rid of it completely.
