This exposition presents the blueprint for a future city. Its detailed design is a complete overhaul of contemporary layouts and bestows numerous new benefits. Some of the highlights are: every residential property overlooks a park; pedestrians never cross the path of a vehicle; commuters travel from point to point without encountering an intersection; nobody walks from their car to their destination.

Like a glass walled terrarium, this city will be self-sustaining. All the required energy, food and water that is needed to sustain its millions of urbanites will be generated within the city limits.

While these things are impossible in the chaotic sprawl of today’s cities, they can be realised in a new style of city that has a significantly more structured and interconnected configuration.
