What does the city of tomorrow look like? For billionaire Marc Lore, it’s eco-friendly buildings constructed from scratch and spread across some 150,000 acres in the Southwest desert.
Lore, 51, has recently released details for his “Telosa” metropolis — Telosa being a name derived from the Greek word for “highest purpose,” Axios first reported.
It’s one of nearly a dozen proposals across the world aiming to build sustainable and ultra-modern cities from scratch that seem more science fiction than reality.
For Lore, Telosa will encompass 36 districts across a swath of Nevada, Arizona or Utah.
It will be home to 50,000 “diverse” people by 2030. Everything they need will be located within a short walk — though, should vehicles be needed, they’ll be electric and autonomous — and every building will be green-minded with rooftop panels creating renewable energy.
“We’re not just building a new city — this is a new model for society,” said Lore at a Telosa town hall meeting in July, adding that Telosa will also be “equitable” to all.
That said, he added it will be governed by “equitism,” which Axios notes appears to be a mix of democracy, capitalism and socialism.
Bjarke Ingels, the Danish architect, is behind the design. Renderings show angular towers topped with trees, multiple greenhouses, landscaped parks with walkways and exercise areas, and buildings whose large terraces look out to city and landscape views.

Without Jesus you ain’t got nothin’, sister.
It sounds like a liberal hell hole.
I’ll pass!
Good question.
Also wondering - when this utopia is realized and thousands of “diverse” people decide to merge into the city - if there will be evil EVIL WALLS to keep them from despoiling it?
Or just standard cardboard, shopping carts and bridge overpasses?
Where do they get water?
All of that green in the desert.
Sounds like Las Vegas.
Where are they going to get the water?
It will be home to 50,000 “diverse” people by 2030.

Call it New Pruitt-Igoe.
Only mosques are allowed in the world of tomorrow.

IOW, moronic stooges living in a state of fear under permanent, continuous surveillance in a police state -- with elements of the TV show "Survivor".
In an essay called "The House Beautiful", written in 1906 and published in his 1909 book Revolution and Other Essays, London described his ideal "dream house". He wrote that "Utility and beauty must be indissolubly wedded" and said the house must be "honest in construction, material and appearance". He described modern bathrooms, spacious and well-appointed servant's quarters, easy cleaning and maintenance, good ventilation and ample fireplaces. He predicted that he would build his dream house in seven to ten years.[
Wolf House was a 26-room mansion in Glen Ellen, California, built by novelist Jack London ...burned on August 22, 1913, shortly before the Londons were planning to move in.
Jack London believed in socialism too... The problem was workers who cared about the quality of their work left his project leaving socialists who totally ripped London off and created a nightmare of high costs and low quality. Marc Lore’s utopian city will suffer the same fate if he allows workers to 'work according to their ability and to take according to their needs. Sick incentives systems have their own 'rewards'...
