So I live in a (relatively) big city now. I'm always fascinated by the (social) super structure that is a city, and also by public transport inside cities. I like how life here never stops. You can find things to do at all hours of the day. I like all the weird and strange things the city has to offer.

It also has it's downsides. It gets busy, polluted, dirty and noisy. There's an airbnb close to my appartment and the guests party til 6 in the morning sometimes, on weekdays. If you complain, people say 'you live in a big city, what do you expect?' like it's the normal thing to do. I miss nature sometimes.

I think I'll eventually move to a village. Preferably at sea. But to be young in a city is a blessing at the moment.

City. Very much looking forward to how much better cities will be with socialist development.

GOODS FOR THE PEOPLE puts it well:

The future belongs to sustainable smart cities.

Ecologically speaking, increasingly concentrated mega cities is the only path toward a future of harmonious integration of humans and nature. Socialist cities of the future, such as the Forrest City being developed in the PRC, can develop and function in much more rational, healthy, and communal ways than random chaotic development under the tyranny of private ownership of land and industry.

Can you provide a link to the book your talking about I can’t seem to find it.

GOODS is a communist clothing co-op. It's from the blurb on the page for their Urb shirt.

Their manifesto is pretty all right, too.
