My solution to the population problem

How Many People Can Manhattan Hold? - NYTimes.com:

'via Blog this'

10k persons can live within a square mile on no more than four levels, car-free, zoned for all elements needed to create a community of residence, work, commerce, health and recreation.

The NY Metro Area is a shade under 7,000 square miles and has a population a shade under 20,000,000.

A million persons requires but 100 square miles. 20 million requires 2000 square miles.

In the most populous area in the United States, my cyber-community configuration would occupy no more than 25 percent of the available land.

You could therefore double the population of the area and use less than half the available land.

And each cyber-community would have its own character and design. They would be linked by public transportation. Cyber-communities would have all aspects of a city and therefore could be anywhere. I have no doubt that they will be in time.
