With a vision and a strategy the 21st century city will be green, a healthy place for all and will generate zero net pollution. This book offers a vision and a strategy.
This book is a 21st century breakthrough in defining an urban design/planning conceptual approach to reincorporating a productive landscape, including agriculture, into the human settlement (CPULs). As reported in the chapter ‘Food in Time’ in the previous hundred years there were several such models created including famously: Le Courbusier, Paul & Percival Goodman, Ian McHarg, Louis Mumford, and Frank Lloyd Wright. We have both history and great creative minds to guide our hands to this gigantic task.
The emerging 21st century city can be identified as ‘the Edgeless City’. The concepts of city boundary, greenbelt, and suburb are all obsolete. The city that was focussed on the river, the seaport, the railyard, and the limited access highway intersection are all obsolete. Cities are becoming formless, edgeless and seemingly endless. In Africa the city extends from Abidjan to Lagos, in Asia from Kobe-Osaka to Tokyo-Chiba, in North America from Portland Maine to Norfolk Virginia, and in Europe from Barcelona to Genoa.
Once enlightened by the CPUL concept our eyes can see possibilities everywhere: the waste heat from supermarket refrigeration is a source of energy for food production, flood plains are productive if producing crops and costly if used for housing, fruit and vegetable production on rooftops saves heating and cooling costs, reduces air pollution and enables fresh cuisine, a security fence is a potential for productive and ornamental vines.
Greening the 21st century city will improve our health, stabilize our economy and bring us all closer together as we meet in the garden.
