Love the pneumatic garbage collectors. Are they actually operational anywhere?

"There's going to have to be new forms of energy, new ways of delivering energy and new forms of infrastructure," says Warren Karlenzig, president of Common Current, a consulting firm on sustainable cities based in San Anselmo, Calif. "All this will be necessary to allow cities to operate the way they do now."

Experienced a bit of cognitive dissonance reading about how to change the way cities operate so they don't change how they operate.. Which made me wonde:. Since the rationale for the article is how to accommodate millions of new urban dwellers, would it not have been helpful to have some discussion of what those millions will actually be doing? Finance and personal services? Not that that wouldn't work. It has for several decades now in many city-states around the world. Often one person's utopia is another's dystopia. The expansion of urban hives is not something I look forward to.
