"The problem I am confronting is
the present design of cities only a few stories high, stretching
outward in unwieldy sprawl
for miles. As a result of their sprawl, they literally transform
the earth, turn farms into parking lots and waste enormous amounts
of time and energy transporting people, goods and services over
their expanses. My solution is urban implosion rather than explosion."
