Guest[quote=qwerty007]With land prices being what they are, I see building upwards being the trend for the future. De-urbanisation, community building, centralised town planning, public transportation, affordable housing, eco-living, oh yeah, and de-parochialisation crash course.[/quote]
Doesn’t de-urbanization contradict centralized planning and densification and public transport?
Eco-living will not work. It’s just a marketing fad. The best way to be eco-friendly is to consume less and to reproduce less.
Cut all consumption by 50%. Most Americans could easily reduce their clothing purchases by 50% and drive their cars twice as long and double the replacement cycle of their goods. That would collapse the economy but be great for the environment.
Our society is based on consumption so I don’t see eco-living happening. Green is a marketing slogan to make consumers feel less guilty about consuming.

Read urbanisation soCal style viz; suburbanisation. So yes, a possible diction error. Eco-living will not work? That may depend on how you define eco-living, but perhaps you can offer some thoughts on why using alternative fuels, installing photo-voltaic cells, re-cycling, and consuming less “won’t work”? Fads are a by-product of the media-driven, consumer-oriented information age we live in. If fads are an effective means to get a Sword of Damocles message across then that might say more about us than the means. And if the message is one of doom vs consumption then I would have thought it makes people more guilty about consuming, not less.
