The Climate City
What this means is the creation of a kind of techno-utopia that extends far into the sky, with farming skyscrapers that enlist gravity to help with agricultural recycling of composted animal wastes. It will extend deep underground as well, where freight tunnels will connect factories and robotic vehicles will move things around in ways that don’t disturb our surface life. It will contribute large amounts of electricity to satisfy its own huge need for it. (“Cities as a Climate Survival Mechanism”, [Kim Stanley Robinson])
Of course! The climate city needs more, more, MORE! Dig further into the earth, reach higher into the sky! Tunnel, burrow, blast your way into the climate city! The techno-utopia will only be complete when more technology solves the problems of technology!
