Eco Centric City Planning and Its Distortions:

Imagination Rejects Urban Sprawl, Time Dualism, and the Monastery

Abstract: This paper looks at ethics and city planning. City planning consists of the four-fold taxonomy: urban sprawl (exogenic-technology), imaginative or eco-centric city, sprawl-monastery dualism, and monasticism (endogenic-technology, imagination-alone). The person, imagination, wholeness, is the context for the city. Ethics is the basis of the city.
