dimensions

Paolo identified, as a problem, the two dimensional city, but, in the end, what he proposed as a solution, is a one dimensional city. He skipped the rails. And it appears as if those in charge of his legacy are wholly focused on the one dimensional paradigm. Where the faulty unevolved city occupies the two dimensions of "out", the Soleri phenomenon seems to be headed in the one direction, up. I am advocating for a three or twenty dimensional effort, up, out, and everything in between.
