We have to doWn-scale, re-scale, and re-size everything. We’re going to have to live closer to each other, to Where We Work and We’re going to have to groW more food closer to Where We live. everything in the suburb is less effecient and unsustainable. this calls for a densification of the spraWling suburb and an in-tegration With the nature that makes our World. the existing settlement struc-ture gives us no hopeful present.

it has to inform us Where We are in our culture. Where We come from and give us a glimpse of Where We’re going. to alloW us to dWell in a hopeful present.
