19 July 2019 - safe city
< yesterday --

Where would you build a city? For transportation, you want to be
near water. But for seismic safety, not near a tectonic plate edge
like Tokyo. For flood safety, not low-lying like Manhattan and most
port cities. Checking the maps, I find that the optimal city is Sao
Paulo. All it needs is a bit of work to make the river navigable,
which will be affordable once 10,000,000 people move there fleeing
natural disasters.
