We are overdue to be building entirely new cities.

Chicago was built from scratch in a few decades. That was typical in the 19th Century.

The 21st century can and should be an era of new urban life using new technology.

Great to see this and eager to hear more.

Chicago has been burned down once. Building new and better cities will be good enough. And in another few decades, all those brick six flats and courtyard buildings in Chicago which have been there for a century or more will still be there, and the city can be brought back to life by a new generation and restored to its former beauty. In short, I want it all, beautiful new cities, and beautiful revived old cities.

New cities are called exoburbs . They are vacant conformist refuges from people who can’t handle cities 😎
