When we build models of the world, we often think of it broken down into pieces, such as cities, counties, and countries. In their newly funded project The City of 7 Billion , architects Joyce Hsiang and Bimal Mendis aim to model the world as one city , to study the impact of population growth on the environment and natural resources on a larger scale. Every corner of the planet, they argue, is "urban" in some sense, touched by farming that feeds cities, pollution that comes out of them, industrialization that has made urban centers what they are today. So why not think of the world as a single urban entity? Hsiang and Mendis don't yet know exactly what this will look like (that is the question, Mendis says). But they are planning to seed their geo-spatial model with worldwide data on population growth, economic and social indicators, topography, ecology and more.

Sono pra mim é sagrado. Posso passar fome, frio, sede, calor ou qualquer outra coisa, mas sono é essencial pra mim... é uma coisa que me descontrola. Eu sinto muito sono, felizmente nunca tive nenhum distúrbio. E eu gosto de dormir mesmo... numa cama limpinha, cheirosinha e tal. Adoro comprar lençóis!Free Flash World Clock
