RE: Welcome to SmartPlanet's cities blog: Solving Cities
Good news! Cities are just so important. They are the current big trend in human development but their roots are very ancient. We like to come together and congregate. The possibilities for renewal of nature through this phenomenon are immense. I am especially excited by the idea of vertical farms inside cities growing both liquid fuels (from algae) and foods for people and their pets. I see much potential for a sustainable world through well-run ecologically aware cities and I know many inroads are being made around the world so all publicity is going to help. Good luck with this new concentration at Smart Planet!
