Village Towns istedenfor drabantbyer

Min respons til Anders Tronstad sin glimrende kommentar, som kan leses her.

Flott Anders! Har du hørt om Village Towns - bevegelsen? De har mye informasjon på hjemmesida si her: http://villagetowns.net/en/

Tenk om drabantbyene hadde blitt bygget som Village Towns! Da ville alle vært del av et supert urbant miljø uten å bo i sentrum.

Tracy Gayton i Maine helt nord i USA planlegger faktisk en Village Town ute i villmarka, i et klima som ligner det norske, måtte han lykkes og bli et forbilde for vårt land. Her er lenker til hans prosjekt:

- Piscataquis Village Project Slide Presentation

I've always had a yearning to live in a village and lookey here. . . someone has outlined a fantastic one (think old European town, not overly hippie) (it even has a nearly unpronounceable name). And his slide presentation is fantastic. Informative, inspirational and funny. It is worth the time it takes to read through it. - -California

- TEDxDirigo Talk

Please take the time to watch this important talk. What Tracy is doing is incredibly important not just to his town - but to all of us. He is taking the next step in American Urbanism, forcibly and literally physically re-defining it in service of people and world, rather than, as so much of America (and sadly, therefore to some degree, the world) has become, destructive of. - - Miami, Florida
