I see arcology with a social architecture that isn't based on consumerism the way the US is structured. It is much more of a gift economy and an economy that lives by the limits of the ecology. Please be part of the arcology party. Its the only way we will have fun! Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the support. I see arcology with a social architecture that isn’t based on consumerism the way the US is structured. It is much more of a gift economy and an economy that lives by the limits of the ecology.

Please be part of the arcology party. Its the only way we will have fun!

My website url showed a page I made just a few days ago. Within the next few hours, I will have YouTube video on it. My approach is that the Arcology should be much like a resort, and it will have stores, its own economy, etc. It's basically an Arcology with a "Supermall" focus. It focuses replacing car transportation with people transportation like the Arcology concept. However, unlike the Arcology concept, it relies more heavily on a network of mini-arcologies connected by monorail instead of relying on the final stage arcology designs involve kilometer sized structures. By focusing on cluster network of mini-arcologies, it makes the system much more easier for conventional developers to build. Without pictures, its hard to imagine what I am describing, but I found a good picture showing the scale I has in mind. The picture and the idea can be seen at: http://academia.wikia.com/wiki/Smallocracy To do away with car transportation, one must gradually divorce oneself from the hub of such a transportation system. But this must be done by building an arcology outside of city limits (especially where land values are lower so that more people can afford a decent size suite in the Arcology. You're party is great, and I wish for its long term success!

We are not seeking to galvanize the base here but rather inspire those who would not other consider these kinds of ideas!
