City of Dreams

What makes cities wonderful sites for our dreams?

People with purpose making spaces of hope.

Building wholeness with the Kosmos drives our schemes.

Habitats to nurture humanity’s scope,

and arcologies to magnify our memes,

and rarify lives like a kaleidoscope.

Dare we hold this vision of utopia?

Or let be…our dull cities’ myopia.

City of Dreams (21/02/2016) in Design Shifts, a poetic journey through post-normal times.

In this utopian dream, Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory and the Greek concept of Kosmos, enfolds Paolo Soleri’s arcology – spaces of hope for the evolution of humanity.
