This book is an informative and transformational journey. Through it you can learn the ways of a new science called Neoarcology. In 1800, only 3% of the world's population lived in cities, in 1950, there were 83 cities with populations exceeding ONE MILLION, and by 2007, this number had risen to 468. If the trend continues, today's urban population of 3.2 BILLION will rise to nearly 5 BILLION by 2030, when three out of five people will live in cities. By then, over 2 BILLION people in the world will be living in slums with no access to the commerce of life, and Asia alone will have at least 10 megacities with populations over 25 MILLION. Lagos, Nigeria has grown from 300,000 in 1950 to an estimated 25 MILLION residents by 2015. How do we keep this Urban Devastation from depleting our planet of it's natural resources? How do we slow the razing of thriving ecosystems and stop the cold, soulless, megalopolis of the future? This is what the Science of NEOARCOLOGY seeks to do. It combines Three proven scientific disciplines to provide for this inexorable expansion of the human machine, while curtailing our destructive footprint on the world around us, and the resources our children will need to survive. Join the journey of NEOARCOLOGY and learn how each of us can truly live free. With this powerful combination of Permaculture, Aquaponics, and Arcology, We may find the key to saving our civilization, and the natural world.
