The Challenges Facing American Cities
American cities face a number of challenges, including:
- Climate change: Cities are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, and they are also vulnerable to the effects of climate change, such as sea level rise and extreme weather events.
- Economic inequality: Cities are often home to both great wealth and great poverty. This inequality can lead to social unrest and other problems.
- Lack of affordable housing: The cost of housing in many cities is rising rapidly, making it difficult for people to afford to live in the city.
- Transportation congestion: Traffic congestion is a major problem in many cities, leading to air pollution, lost productivity, and other problems.
The Vision for an Extraordinary American City
Fullington believes that despite the challenges, it is possible to create extraordinary American cities that are sustainable, resilient, and equitable. He envisions a city that is:
- Powered by renewable energy: The city would generate its own electricity from renewable sources such as solar and wind power.
- Resilient to climate change: The city would be designed to withstand the effects of climate change, such as sea level rise and extreme weather events.
- Equitable: The city would provide affordable housing, good schools, and other essential services to all residents, regardless of their income.
- Livable: The city would be a pleasant place to live, with plenty of green space, parks, and other amenities.
How to Create an Extraordinary American City
Fullington outlines a number of steps that can be taken to create an extraordinary American city, including:
- Invest in sustainable infrastructure: The city should invest in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and other sustainable infrastructure.
- Promote affordable housing: The city should adopt policies that promote affordable housing, such as rent control and inclusionary zoning.
- Improve public transportation: The city should invest in public transportation, making it more convenient and affordable to get around.
- Create more green space: The city should create more parks and other green space, providing residents with places to relax, play, and socialize.
- Engage the community: The city should engage the community in the planning process, ensuring that the city's residents have a say in how their city is designed and built.
Creating an extraordinary American city is a daunting task, but it is possible. By investing in sustainable infrastructure, promoting affordable housing, improving public transportation, creating more green space, and engaging the community, we can create cities that are livable, sustainable, and equitable for all.
Roger Fullington's manifesto is a call to action for architects, urban planners, and all citizens who care about the future of our cities. By working together, we can create extraordinary American cities that will be a beacon of hope for the world.
