China Planning For Sustainable Cities

Posted by Zonk on from the sounds-like-a-plan dept.

TapeCutter writes "In a BBC article William McDonough says, 'The Stone Age did not end because humans ran out of stones. It ended because it was time for a re-think about how we live.' The Chineese appear to agree with him and have commissioned McDonough's company to create an environmentally sustainable village as a pilot project for the more ambitious idea of sustainable cities. McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart have also written a book on the subject, Cradle to Cradle, previously reviewed here on Slashdot."

    Censorship of Internet access so the citizens don't know the cities aren't really environmentally sustainable. I'm sure Cisco will be happy to help.
