The future requires a design framework that works for everyone on the planet, one that can transform what already exists into what will work for the future of all residents today and into our unlimited future.
We are a Galactic Society. There are hundreds, even thousands, of worlds interested in having human society join them as an interstellar civilization. There is no longer a blockade on these ideas; the ones who have suppressed this throughout history are losing a war for dominance. The reason is complicated, but realize that it is TIME.
This section of MetaCity Design explores the potential for underground development as a global and local option. Significant development already exists in the form of Deep Underground Military Bases and the more secretive Breakaway Civilization locations beneath our feet. How these will be integrated with our New Civilization is unknown at this time, but certainly, they will no longer be secret.
For many reasons, the evolution of human society should be to integrate a subsurface development policy for all towns and cities. Information about what lies beneath us is well developed already but held private by the government, military, and industry. It should not be this way.
We have included on this site numerous articles discussing the integration of surface cities and underground developments related to them; they are listed below.
