CHOICE-LINK CITY

Code PAC010

Choice-link city utilizes the communication capabilities of the internet technology in providing a model of urbanism that is aimed to enhance the actual (as opposed to the virtual) social and cultural needs of a virtual-oriented growing community. Choice-link city adapts the linkage system of the web to urban planning. Instant connectable and detachable linkage system and affordable custom made to order pre-fabricated residential units are used to offer choice and freedom of connectivity in various type of socially and culturally optimized urban locales.

Choice-link city is a conceptual model of urbanism that draws on the communication capabilities of the internet in order to build a socially and culturally enhanced community for work and life.

As internet applications continue to usurp all aspects of social and commercial interactions, a new mode of production emerges; now physical distance is no longer a constraint, rendering physical human presence unnecessary for interaction. A new set of parameters for working and living is surfacing.

As nations race to build their internet infrastructures to compete in the twenty-first century, concerns of cultural and social erosion become realities as exponentional numbers of physically-oriented venues such as stores for music, books, electronics, furnitures, movies, and schools, libraries, and services move to the web. This fanatical pace is discerning.

Choice-link city urban model offers a solution to organize zoning of urban planning with its goal to reinforce actual as opposed to virtual social and cultural interactions. It is now possible to orient zoning to tailor to individual's desire and pleasure rather than to suit macro business concerns.

Choice-link city emulates the log-on and log-off linkage system of the internet architecture to pattern urban planning. New cities can take existing-planning systems to allocate zoning or to allow controlled random patterns of growth to occur. This model emphasizes the accessibility of linkages to desirable locations through means of mobile pre-fabricated housing systems with operable linkage mechanisms.
