Resource Based Economics
A resource based economy is a holistic socio-economic system in which all goods are available without the use of money and its derivitives. All resources become the common heritage of all of the inhabitants.
It would utilize existing resources to enhance the lives of the total population by producing all necessities of life and providing a high standard of living for all.
It uses technology to overcome scarce resources by applying clean sources of energy, cybernation, designing energy-efficient cities and advanced transportation systems, providing universal health care and relevant education.
The possible cities could be circular in design. These would be the sewage, waste, mail, energy and transport systems. The second layer would serve as the foundation for all the buildings and physical structures. The third layer would consist of the solid structures erected on top of the foundations.
The city would finally look something like this. We could even have clusters of cities equidistant from one another, serving as means for social interactions. These cities would provide us with all we need including food, medical and educational facilities, clean renewable energy, research centres for all disciplines and industrial centres for production of goods, good quality residential areas, and recreational facilities like tennis courts, parks, racing tracks.
Design considerations for these new cities include overall functioning, ease of assembling, production and maintenance, efficient transportation and its simplicity and durability. This would include the flexibility to permit ongoing and later changes. The city would function as an evolving integrated organism rather than a static structure like the current trend. This systems approach envisions assembling entire cities by using standardised basic structural elements which are prefabricated in automated plants and assembled on sight. Many of these buildings would be comprised of standard units that can be arranged
