The Eternal City

Over time, societies move toward more sophisticated urban settings. They progress toward forms that are more beautiful, renewing, and elegant. City is the ideal toward which all civilizations move—epitomized in future time as the holy city, the eternal city, mecca, and islands of light. Advanced cities optimize highly-concentrated urban spaces and natural areas.

WHY IT MATTERS
Many cities evolve without much thought—they are not designed. Consequently the seeds of destruction are planted at the beginning. A large portion of disease in a population can be designed out if habitats are created to generate health.
