[extropy-chat] katrina opportunity

Maybe this would be a consulting opportunity.
There might be a similar rebuilding grand scheme similar to 9-11 to come 
out of all this.
If the USA wants to build a model city from scratch in a location that 
historically supported a city
this would be a golden opportunity.

If there are 280 square miles of affected city that is way past a Donald 
Trump development scale
and a global mega-city potential and it is able to start from a clean slate.

the recent new orleans disaster must be considered as
an alrm bell of things to come during this century.
natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes,
tsunamis, earthquakes, mudslides , fires, and others
re becoming more frequent nd more dsmaging.
Katrina , beyond the tragedy and loss of people's
life, is giving us the big opportunity to rethink and
rebuild human habitas, cities and all other buildings,
must be designed and built with new concepts that will
allow:
-independence from land situation and changes (ie at a
controlled height)
-completely connected by transportation networks
utilizing energy locally generated from renewable and
clean sources
-multistory structures for separate activities 
in controlled environmental conditions
-maximum respect for the natural ecosystem with
conservation of natural landscape nd animal life
-optimizing human activities with minimum space
utilization, waste recycling, energy conservation
concepts
the cities of the future design concepts, must be
addressed today.
Let's not forget that our cities  reflect the after
the cave technology for human beings, they need a
complete replanning and consideration to be in
sinthony wity the new human and technological
requiremets
since roman times nothing has really changed in city
planning and architecture
Is about time that also this sector is addressed with
the new attitude that has allowed the advances in
biotechnology, information and communication systems.
the rebuilding of new orleans , while necessary and
urgent, should be an opportunity to rethink our citie
and our relationship wit the environment, utilizing
new technologies, new concep.
You would  not dressed like an ancient roman, why are
you still living in a similar habitat?ts and new
approaches
let not waste it
