Post apocalyptic

The plan view of a vast post-apocalyptic city. Two types of living cell - the larger for those who grow food, the smaller for technology, industry. Pale blue indicates dwellings, whilst communal facilities are in orange. Dark blue is dense vegetation that provides oxygen and also hides an impenetrable fence. A network of fast one-way "roads" provide transport for the industrial areas, but no such transport exists or is required between the farming cells. Although there are tunnels that connect industrial communal facilities with their farming counterparts, generally the farming types do that and only that and never meet the industrial types. But there is relatively free passage from one industrial cell to the next, and one farming cell to the next.  These connections are clearly visible in the plan view.

Each cell houses perhaps as many as 100 human souls - the dwellings are generally extended family units, thus 25 per farming dwelling, but more individual industrial dwellings to promote creativity.

I know all this because I have spent hours poring over these plans and thus deducing what life was (or more to the point will be) like, and wondering how I might have extricated myself from the implied strict regime.




Actually the "plan" is the bungalow dining room table cloth...
