Non Utopian City Design

Edenicity began as a utopian exercise to design a city where the basic systems (housing, energy, food and transportation) worked together with ecological integrity in a compact footprint. • But unlike its more flamboyant utopian peers, Edenicity strives to use as many proven, ready-made solutions as possible: things like apartments and public transit. Together, these go a long way toward providing greater convenience and safety while consuming far fewer resources. • But to begin restoring the lost half of Earth’s living biomass, cities need to do some things they have seldom done before, such as providing all of their own power and food. • The problem is: design doesn’t happen all at once, and we don’t have much time. • Half of us already live in cities, and the urban population is growing by 200,000 people a day. What if some key design elements require many iterations over many years to develop? • In today’s episode, we’ll explore how to safely build cities as the design of key systems evolves. • Edenicity is permaculture urbanism.
