The global urban chaos
The Line, the first truly intelligent city in the world planned entirely in Saudi Arabia, is still being built, causing disbelief and turmoil in the minds of the most enlightened people, who are always the first to show envious disdain for ideas they would like to have and did not have.
The urban chaos could be modeled on the Brazilian city of Brasília, where the first metropolis entirely planned in architectural and urban planning was surrounded by improvised, unplanned imitations, nullifying its meticulous planning. There are 30 small cities or so-called administrative regions around the meticulously planned core that began to be distorted before it was inaugurated, with the annexes of the L2 North and South roads, the concessions of degree by degree that allowed the improvisations in the Pilot Plan, the temporary houses in the South Wing and the temporary buildings in the residential wings without pilotis that remained definitively. So, around a city that was completely planned, although not completely built according to 90% of the plan, it was added by:
(1) Bandeirante nucleus,
(2) Candangolândia,
(3) Cruzeiro,
(4) Guará I and II,
(5) Gama,
(6) Sobradinho,
(7) Planaltina,
(8) Taguatinga,
(9) Ceilândia,
(10) Riacho Fundo I and II,
(11) Recanto das Emas,
(12) Águas Claras,
(13) Paranoá,
(14) Vila Planalto,
(15) Vicente Pires,
(16) Brazlândia,
(17) Lago Sul,
(18) Lago Norte,
(19) Park Way,
(20) Samambaia,
(21) Santa Maria,
(22) Estrutural,
(23) São Sebastião,
(24) SIA,
(25) Itapoã,
(26) Arniqueira,
(27) Água Quente,
(28) Sol Nascente,
(29) Sudoeste Octogonal,
(30) Varjão,
(31) Arapoanga,
(32) Fercal,
(33) Jardim Botânico.
Every city represents a disorganized, very dense accumulation point, with buildings clustered in areas of greater real estate value; the more clustered they are, the greater their value, indicating the law of concentration where urban resources are concentrated in a small area that grows vertically above the ground, the greater the amount of urban services that are concentrated; conversely, the more sparse the urban resources and the less utilitarian value, the more the spaces are diluted and the more they are devalued.
The population of the earth is unevenly distributed in geographic space and poorly distributed within municipal spatial concentrations. The distribution of the human population on Earth is so heterogeneous and deconcentrated that if we wanted to, we could easily fit the entire population of the Earth into an area the size of Ecuador if we planned the urban spaces. The entire population of Japan could fit into a single planned city with standardized buildings one hundred stories high and three hundred meters high, each tower fifty meters on a side, arranged in urban semicircles to facilitate the movement of people and vehicles. Thus, all urban services would be distributed in the towers: all hospitals, schools, universities, stores, offices, laboratories, shops, workshops, factories, industries, and clinics. If we planned in advance, we would also have clubs, shopping centers, police stations, prisons, churches, and warehouses. What happened to civilization? Everything was improvised, dead-end streets, many neighborhoods, many streets, many avenues, and then you need buses, trains, subways, railroads, avenues, roads, and then when none of these work you need to supplement with cars, and even then you need motorcycles to fill the gaps in the streets, and finally bicycles and pedestrians, rollerblades, and other individual means of transportation.
We see that by combining all the types of transportation and means of transportation we only increase the chaos trying to solve the lack of urban planning because we improvise every time a new urban unit needs to be added to the urban complex that was not prepared and planned to receive a new concentrated unit of vertical buildings, increasing the demand for urban roads, means of transportation, parking spaces and more horizontal and vertical spaces, the vertical chaos increases the horizontal chaos. Urban design in the shape of a ring with a diameter of 50 kilometers, covering an area of 7,500 square kilometers, which houses 8,000 one-hundred-story buildings, capable of accommodating 80 million people with:
1) garages,
2) gardens,
3) lawns,
4) complete mini leisure area with:
5) swimming pools,
6) children's playground,
7) gourmet lounge,
8) multi-sports courts,
9) party room,
10) barbecue grills,
11) games room,
12) sound room,
13) saunas,
14) video game room,
15) internet café,
16) covered garage,
17) parking lots, for each building unit separated by 150 meters of space between each building. At the base of each tower there would be a local micro-commerce with stalls for:
1) bakeries,
2) butchers,
3) pharmacies,
4) beauty salons,
5) haberdashery,
6) stationery stores,
7) bars,
8) snack bars,
9) food court,
10) workshops,
all very small, 10 square meters, just for small purchases and service provision that do not attract customers from outside the building complex, just like the local shops between and within blocks in the Plano Piloto in Brasília.
Each two and three bedroom apartment, with space for teleworking, - home office -, towers with 25 properties per floor on each of the 100 floors, each tower will have 2500 apartments; 8000 towers totaling 8000 x 2500 = 20,000,000 residences capable of housing 80 million residents, arranged in concentric circles separated by 150 meters between them.
An additional 10,000 square kilometers will be used to build underground factories, with the upper part being used for goods yards, parking and gardens.
There will be another 5,000 square kilometers for sustainable agriculture with fruit trees and vegetable gardens, farms, and small farms and estates.
In total, the city will cover 22,500 square kilometers.
At the center of the urban design of the circle of peripheral residential buildings, there will be 2,000 towers with 100 floors each for services, with: hospitals, schools, stores, workshops, clubs, offices, universities, institutes, organizations, churches, barracks, public administration in towers also with 100 floors and basements, with bakeries, butchers, haberdashery, stationery stores, offices, clinics, gyms, churches, temples, beauty salons, studios, shopping centers, barber shops, shoe stores, snack bars, jewelry stores, libraries, auditoriums, museums and hotels.
The large stadiums are located on the outskirts, along with the three airports, one for passengers, one for cargo, and the military air base, museums, and venues for large fairs, car dealerships, motorcycles, bicycles, tricycles, boats, airplanes, and repair shops for everything.
On the coast would be the three large port terminals: one for unloading, the other for loading cargo; the tourist port for large vessels; an area for military ships isolated from the others; and shipyards.
It is to be expected that within 30 years this small territory will be the most valuable and most expensive square meter in the entire world.
Because of the high population density per square meter, and because of the high density of people of the highest level per square meter in the world.
Are we rational animals? Bees and ants build their collective dwellings much more ingeniously and rationally than humans.
With this scheme, the population of the entire earth could inhabit an area of 750 thousand square kilometers or less.
The entire population of the world with 7.5 billion inhabitants would comfortably fit into the area of São Paulo and Minas Gerais together, in 100-story buildings, in a fully planned and rational city; but in 120-story buildings the area could be 600 thousand square kilometers. Equivalent to the entire area of the state of Minas Gerais.
