2XXX: Rise and Shine City

each day you will find a bicycle and a jellyfish to move,
each night you will rest in the jellyfish underwater, like a baby in the womb.

rooftops are the common ground for all,
where you, together, will eat, play, learn, grow, 
and so on...

Tomorrow's Needs

Maslow's hierarchy of needs suggests that the most basic level of needs must be met before the individual will strongly desire a higher level of needs. Maslow also coined the term Metamotivation to describe the motivation of people who go beyond the scope of the basic needs and strive for constant betterment.

Today some of the basic needs have been overseen. The enemy we face today is the enemy that attacks our personal health: malnourishment, which leads to disease. Today we must establish victory over our degenerating health that results from an industrialized food supply. The average food buyer has long since lost connection with the producer of that food. Canada is starving for nutrition and the need for a healthy lifestyle is within reach. Today we need to plant a different kind of Victory Garden. A Victory Garden of the 21st century that addresses the needs of today's citizen.

 Aliveness, not deadness or the mechanization of life. 
 Uniqueness, not bland uniformity. 
 Perfection and necessity, not sloppiness, inconsistency, or accident. 
 Completion, rather than incompleteness. 
 Justice and order, not injustice and lawlessness. 
 Simplicity, not unnecessary complexity. 
 Richness, not environmental impoverishment. 
 Effortlessness, not strain. 
 Playfulness, not grim, humorless, drudgery.
