Hate to have to say nice things about China - nothing against the people, but it needs a better government - but y'know what a big difference between China & the USA is?

When China builds new cities, it builds ultramodern ecocities.

When the USA talks new cities, it means company towns...

Palaces For The People, a free online ebook by #LionKuntz is a practical manual for creation of #Ecocities, #Ecovilliage, or one-off Futuristic habitats for people to survive the climate turmoil in comfort, safety and some luxuries.

Cities cannot remain dependent and fragile. Sponge cities, floating cities, and ethical design show a path forward. Build resilience, protect people, and decentralize systems. We choose to evolve.

The Loess plateau was the most eroded place on Earth until China took action and reversed decades of damage from grazing and farming. The project and it’s leader John D Liu inspired me to work on ecocities and regenerative farming. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Why are we not greening the deserts using solar thermal to both desalinate and produce energy for new ecocities? Creating new Amazon rainforests?

Doesn’t it depend on how you allocate costs? If result is ecocities and greening desert and unlimited energy? New tropical forests and el dorado’s

We can green the deserts and create ecocities. Take solar thermal using sea water, evaporate it to create steam to drive turbines use the resulting distilled water here. interestingengineering.com/ces-2025/inf...
World's 1st inflatable farm cuts water use by 99% to grow vegetables
The portable modules are 75% lighter than conventional container farms and are designed for quick installation, requiring just half a day.

The hydrogen module can be continually in flight served by electrically powered vstol shuttles based above railway stations means huge areas of airport land becomes available for ecocities and noisy ordinary aircraft become niche

so cool. These look like ecocities! I'm so happy you envision a future not dominated by cars. That alone makes the sky so much bluer! ecocitystandards.org

Put solar thermal units in deserts by the sea. Use to desalinate seawater, produce electricity, use water to create agriculture, copy Amazon by planting trees to create more water, build ecocities. Cover Canals, use salt for heat storage

Why exactly are we not returning to hydrogen air ships? We have superb safe systems and docking technology. The lift mechanisms can be continually in flight and joined by electric shuttles from airship ports built above railway stations freeing up airport land for new ecocities

🌍 Cities = 2% of Earth’s land
😮 But they emit 66% of global CO₂

That’s where eco cities come in—renewable energy, zero-waste design, and walkable spaces.

Can they scale? Or are they just showpieces?

Hmm - how to get potable water. I don’t understand why solar thermal- a 100 year old technology- gets ignored. Desert location next to the sea - create steam- generate electricity- use heat pumps to refrigerate steam once it has been used for generation, use for farming and ecocities, and databases
