Building a Better Metro System

There are many ingredients to a successful civic landscape. Respect of the land is foremost to many farmers, and is just as so with any city landscape as well. Today's cities have covered up the land with concrete and suffocated the effect that our mother Earth can provide to us. As if for any conspiracy buff, maybe it is a conspiracy for the dark to abuse the triangle of survival.

The Three steps in the triangle of survival is:
-fire (heat, cooking, energy)
-water (basic live need)
-shelter (house, storage, base)

Yet, we must understand how we can provide all three things today.

-fire as in the form of energy needs such as petroleum. Many cities have huge underground natural gas line networks as well. Over the years, petrochemicals have also been integrated into fertilizers and harvesting equipment for our cropping systems.
-water has many underground pipes and many lakes that provide urban water needs can also provide recreational use. Water is also an ingredient for food (plants)
-shelter has become tall buildings and suburban dwellings. Much has changed since the simple hut. Thicker walls and modern electronics help increase shelter energy efficiency.

But there is something drastically missing in this trifecta....food security and reducing the cost of urbanization.

What is the cost of urbanization? The cost is the land being covered and there are many ways to reduce that cost.
1. Any roof space can be replaced with shingles and environmentally produced solar panels (believe it or not, but the common solar panels produced in china today have moderate to heavy pollution as they too are electronics. This pollution is mitigatable at the factory via recycling practices.) The total roof space with adequate solar coverage worldwide could reduce energy prices dramatically. and significantly to cause increases in Gross Domestic Product.
2. Roof space can also be utilized into green or garden roof space for utilization of growing food. Green roof space has also been accredited to reducing the heat coming into the home during the summertime and could be well suited for homes closer to the equator; therefore, reducing cooling costs. Think of plants as nature's solar panel.
3. More mixed zoning and reducing the commute is important for future generations. Too much gasoline usage = too little fire for survival needs for tomorrow's generation.
4. Land recovery networks and transitional zoning laws can effectively help protect what we have and what we can recover from our misdeeds to our land. This special zoning type can be used to allow building and covered land (by cement/asphalt) to be naturally demolished or deconstructed. For instance, buildings slightly in disarray can just sit and rot, or be deconstructed for recycling purposes. The land itself that the building is on can be used for temporary neighbor gardening.
5.Baron land into food conversion; golf courses for sale and underutilized could be used for orchards and other local food growing purposes. Not only golf courses, but also other non-utilized or underutilized plots of land in urban (or even rural spaces.)  Food is a type of energy that is converted into labor later in the economy. Food is all solar power; (and so is solar panels into electricity...)



Maybe more ideas for land utilization coming....

Note: Fiat money can be used to make land utilization easier. Therefore, banks are the church of trust in a modern society via debt. Thus, debt slavery onto the population of the land. (A place or time without a jubilee cannot reset the population's labor utility curve and therefore increase the churn of politicians (increase political replacements.) We are seeing this now in some American political offices as expected. However, without a jubilee, full labor utilization will not happen.
