[p2p-research] "We need more megalopolises"

[M. Fioretti]

Still reading it, haven't a real opinion yet:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/19/magazine/19Urban_West-t.html?_r=2&pagewanted=all

The reason I'm inviting to read it on a list like this is this
paragraph:

	[West] suggests, for instance, that modern cities are the real
	centers of sustainability. According to the data, people who
	live in densely populated places require less heat in the
	winter and need fewer miles of asphalt per capita... Small
	communities might look green, but they consume a
	disproportionate amount of everything. As a result, West
	argues, creating a more sustainable society will require our
	big cities to get even bigger. We need more megalopolises.

comments are very welcome
