ANEW City - Daniel Pettit

 

ANEW City is a visionary urban development approach that prioritizes preserving natural environments in areas of growth. In decentralized smart cities, each critical resource—water, food, energy, and utilities—is distributed across multiple origin points. This microgrid-like system ensures that each resource is readily available at an equal distance from any resident, regardless of how far out they live. Instead of relying on traditional, centralized infrastructure that pushes resources further as the city grows, we will build cities that grow linearly, ensuring that growth is both manageable and sustainable. The goal is to design infrastructure that enables the city to expand indefinitely while maintaining harmony with its surroundings, creating a sustainable model for future development.
