2. The city should be self-sufficient when it comes to food & energy; The city has to avoid fossil fuels; The city has to be about people & dynamism. There has to be room for spontaneity. Culture has to be everywhere. A city without culture is a dead city. The core emphasis will be the streets - the arteries of a healthy city. Instead of mere transportation, the streets will focus on happiness, connections & sparks.
