What does this have to do with me?
Everything.
Our cities need transformation from the inside out. This
means working with the natural systems we have around us in order to set up a
new kind of city development paradigm. Forest cities.
HOW
Collaboratively
With the help of urban agriculture, we can begin to grow a
few crops, working on
vertical surfaces of the city.
Horizontal spaces, planned and developed as forest, will
allow for many levels of interaction in cities, and clear traffic congestion
completely if designed appropriately (ahem…we have concepts if you want to
talk).
In all this forestry, wood and biomass become the primary
resources, producing a system of energy, edible matter and secondary (non
timber forest) products for economic benefit.
Wood for smoke and fire are also needed based on season.
By creating a forestry regime in the city, not only are the
trees given back their respect and place in society, they can be actively
worked with to provide for neighborhood needs.
Sense of space is very important, not only for local
communities to adapt to their surroundings, but even for refugee communities,
and working this angle, we could create healthy, collaborative, diverse, and
dynamic cities, as is the need today. Not only that, it looks that it is one of
the ready to catch waves forming on the conceptual reef of the human movement.
