We Plan Cities As Though Nothing Is Ever Going To Change

Smart cities, made in Japan | CapeCodOnline.com: "The Japanese version of the so-called 'smart city' exists in a post-fossil fuel world. Alternative sources like the sun, wind and nuclear power are harnessed in mass quantities. That power is then distributed to buildings, homes and electric cars connected to each other through 'smart grids,' which monitor usage throughout the network to maximize efficiency."

Reliance on the four wheeled private car no matter how fueled is no substitute for revising how we plan and create new cities.
