I Have Thought For A Long Time That Circular Planned Cities Would Be Great….

They could be very walkable with a plaza in the center for local events, a business district around that area for small restaurants, shops and places to stroll around. City offices, medical offices, schools, etc in the next ring. Residential areas for a few rings, and then industrial workplaces and agriculture areas on the outer edges. It wouldn’t be far to walk to the business district or plaza in such an arrangement and less need for automobiles. Then I found this photo of one city build long ago in a circle shape.

Sun City West Az. looks just like that, even bigger.

@JohnnySpot I imagine in Arizona it would be. Had a flight that stopped in Phoenix to pick up
More passengers last vacation and my mouth was parched by the time we took off

@cherokeepattiMany people have electric golf carts. The craft and hobby buildings are state of the art.

@JohnnySpot besides walking that would be the ideal way to travel if you are going to buy something that needs to be toted back home.
I'd rather have this.

Inner and outer loops of San Antonio.



Lived the better part of three years on the North East side. A little bit beyond as well.

That map only shows the major points. It's actually a whole lot more crowded, especially on the inner loop.

@DeWayfarer yeah but that’s a huge circle of a highway. I am talking walking distance communities, not metropolis cities. If the population increases you build more circular cities not right next to the first one but outside of the agricultural distance and dot the landscape with them. Each one would be walkable to the city’s ammenities. This would work a lot better in milder climates where a person could get out and walk most days. It would be a healthier lifestyle and save on driving. And have a bus system to take people to their jobs in nearby cities or whatever.

@cherokeepatti concentric rings one extending beyond the next is a middle ages concept for castles.

Some included whole farms that later became apart of the whole city.

That area between the rings was still rural when I was there in 2001.

Must also note when I was there for boot camp in 1978 neither ring was there! Just the Alamo with a dirt front not even paving or a park.

Parts of the riverwalk were there, though not most of it.

Not shown in that map is the river walk near the Alamo. It's like Venice Italy with sidewalks.

Evening pattie.Believe it or not,I thought earlier today to ask if you had watched any of John Levis vids on youtube.To me,he speaks much sense about such matters.

@pedrohedgerow I don’t think I have, I need to check it out. It seems circular cities would be the most efficient way to travel without a car, you live in the middle of the circle and wouldn’t have far to go to get to the other circles. Some of these housing additions have you driving a road for almost a mile just to exit them and get into a business area and then you might have to drive a mile or more just to go to a grocery store.

@cherokeepatti He also reports of starforts,found across the world,with perhaps technology lost to us now.Know what you are saying...✌️
