(2008-01-11) Ressi City Of Future

Adeo Ressi wants to build a city of the future (Urban Design), with no cars, free schools, and food grown on the surrounding land... Ressi spent four summers in the Arizona desert when he was a teenager, working in an experimental city called Arco Santi... Today's cities, he says, "are simply not sustainable."... Ressi expects to unveil the first stage of the effort in the next few months. It will be a Wikipedia-like Web site (Public Wiki), allowing urban planners, architects, and other visionaries to post and review the world's best ideas for reimagining urbanity... "Ultimately (the site) will be decided by the vote of the members, but I have a feeling there are great suitable locations in the Pacific Northwest," he says.
