This was pretty neatly done.
It made me think of green cities....
I like Internet, since you find so many interesting and inspiring things. You start looking for something, and then stumble upon other things that appeals to you. Like this about the venus project. I have not heard about it before, but I like the idea.
Still it is very centered around one person (a male architect born in the beginning of the 20th century) and I wonder how much his work affects planners and policy makers of today. But following the venus project is an activist movement spread over the globe. (For my Swedish readers, they can find the organisation here and following a Uppsala produced blog about the movement.)
The thoughts behind the venus project makes me think about the creation of Brasilia and the architecture of Oscar Nieymeyer. To believe in a dream and the creation of something new. Even if I think that we have to work on what we got, instead of making new areas and create totally new urban landscapes. Although, around our globe new cities are still created. There is the new city in Burma, Naypyidaw, or the making of the world outside Dubai and in the middle of the desert in Saudi Arabia King Abdullah is building his Economic City.
I continue browsing around and find theese nice green architecture....

I find my way to the beautiful Eden project in Cornwall, south west of England and notice that there is a green world city organisation based in Sydney. There are so many interesting projects, organisations and thoughts going around in the world of today. :)
