NorthWest Coastal Metropolis: Inland Port City.
SecretMbr_735754 posted a City Journal entry in NorthWest Coastal Metropolis
Lets start with the traditional fireworks display celebrating a new city in SC4. The Space Needle works well as a geographically central symbol of the actual west coast from the Arctic to Central America, and it expresses futurist positive materialism on the edge of the western world, but the NWCM region is intended to be generic to the terrain-type, and not specific to any real location. The Inland Port City is the engine of the NWCM Region. From here, the region accesses the world for trade and transport, processes materials, and generates power. The primary resource imported is recyclable materials, and the primary energy sources are fusion and microwave. Several other new technologies are also applied such as desalination of seawater and clean coal burning --mostly for research purposes. As yet, nothing much is exported other than a few artistic graphics and technical details. The NWCM administration will not attempt to balance such things as wealth, education, health, or law enforcement. It is assumed that health by definition means minimal incongruities, disparities and conflicts. The objectives here are positive materialist, which means more of a technocratic, direct and free democracy. The NWCM does have police, but they do spend most of the day in the donut shop, looking after kids and talking philosophy and high-energy particle physics. The NWCM is not unlike the world today. That's a jet-engine airliner, and a soccer/football field for competitive sports. Essentially, new material processing and energy systems have enabled stability of natural and cultural dynamics. Advances in aerospace and the physical arts will not necessarily be explored, unless such developments present themselves. Finally, The motto of the NWCM is "Bring us your garbage and with it we will build a better world."- 8 Comments
