Efficient Infrastructure

Efficient Infrastructure

Intelligent infrastructure planning is key to long term positive change both in terms of reduced consumption but also more functional, efficient, and enjoyable infrastructure.

  • Design cities and infrastructure with functionality, greenery, and minimized transportation in mind.
  • Homes will be designed with conservation as the prime motivation (solar paneled walls and wind turbines will power most of our needs). Alternatives to air conditioning shall be developed.
  • Social planning will begin to zone more functionality into cities such that persons can walk, ride bikes, or take mass transit to work.
  • Transportation will be redesigned. Within 1-2 generations the use of cars will be limited to solar devices. Hydrogen generators will power intercity trains to deliver persons to city centers.
  • All expansion into new land shall be ceased and a plan devised to recede development in any and all areas possible. We will rebuild existing and build upward with highly functional and livable designs as the defining feature of our cities.

If you are interested in assisting to develop these programs, please contact Greg with some of your initial ideas and/or sample works. Here is a potential set of initiatives.

1. Green City Design Initiative

– Objective: Redesign cities to integrate green spaces and urban forests, ensuring functional layouts that reduce the need for long commutes. Encourage zoning that includes mixed-use developments where residential, work, and recreational spaces are interconnected.

– Focus: Urban greenery, walkability, mixed-use zoning.

2. Sustainable Home Development Program

– Objective: Mandate new homes and buildings to be designed with energy conservation at the core. Incorporate solar-paneled walls, wind turbines, rainwater harvesting systems, and other renewable energy sources. Promote passive cooling techniques, reducing dependence on air conditioning.

– Focus: Energy efficiency, renewable energy, conservation-focused design.

3. Eco-Zoning & Transportation Hubs

– Objective: Implement eco-zoning policies that prioritize compact city design, allowing people to walk, cycle, or use public transit. Establish transportation hubs for mass transit (trains, buses) located within walking or cycling distance from residential areas.

– Focus: Walkability, public transit, functional city layouts.

4. Solar-Powered Transportation Transition

– Objective: Over the next 1-2 generations, transition all personal transportation to solar-powered vehicles. Provide incentives for the development of efficient solar cars and implement solar charging stations across urban areas.

– Focus: Renewable energy, sustainable transportation, innovation.

5. Hydrogen-Powered Intercity Train Systems

– Objective: Design and deploy hydrogen-powered trains for intercity transportation, minimizing reliance on fossil fuels. These trains will connect major city centers, providing fast, efficient, and eco-friendly travel options between urban areas.

– Focus: Renewable energy, efficient transport, eco-friendly infrastructure.

6. Vertical City Expansion Program

– Objective: Cease the horizontal expansion of urban areas and shift toward building upward, focusing on vertical living solutions. Design multi-purpose high-rises with sustainable features, including green walls, rooftop gardens, and energy-efficient architecture.

– Focus: Vertical living, space conservation, sustainable architecture.

7. Green Belt Restoration & Urban Recession Plan

– Objective: Implement a long-term plan to halt urban sprawl and reclaim land for nature. Focus on receding infrastructure in overdeveloped areas and converting them into green belts, parks, and nature reserves.

– Focus: Environmental restoration, anti-urban sprawl, biodiversity.

8. Mass Transit Electrification Initiative

– Objective: Electrify public transport systems, replacing diesel buses and trains with electric models. Expand public transit infrastructure to cover underserved areas, promoting mass transit as the primary mode of transport in cities.

– Focus: Electrification, public transport, energy efficiency.

9. Urban Bicycle & Pedestrian Network

– Objective: Create extensive, interconnected bicycle lanes and pedestrian walkways across cities, ensuring safety and accessibility. Encourage cycling and walking as the primary modes of travel for short distances.

– Focus: Active transport, safety, walkability.

10. Smart Grid & Energy Storage Development

– Objective: Develop a smart electrical grid that integrates renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydrogen. Establish city-wide energy storage systems to ensure energy reliability, balancing supply and demand in urban areas.

– Focus: Energy grid innovation, renewable energy, urban resilience.
