City Country Fingers

Opening context:
The Distribution of Towns

Conflict

Continuous sprawling urbanisation destroys life, and makes cities unbearable. But the sheer size of cities is also valuable and potent.

Resolution

Keep interlocking fingers of farmland and urban land, even at the center of the metropolis. The urban fingers should never be more than 1 mile wide.

Closing context:
Agricultural Valleys, Mosaic of Subcultures, Web of Public Transportation, Ring Roads
