Jamais Cascio presenta un estimulante ensayo en Worldchanging sobre el futuro de las ciudades, del urbanismo... ¿y qué ve? Transmega ciudades.
Ve como las ciudades se conectan en megacorredores urbanos, que crean nuevas dinámicas económicas, ambientales, de seguridad nacional y global.
"The term megalopolis was coined in 1961 by Jean Gottmann, referring to massive agglomerations of population centers across a region; for people in the United States, perhaps the most visible is the "Bowash" corridor stretching from Boston, through New York, and down to Washington, DC. A megalopolis covers multiple metropolitan and "micropolitan" areas, yet has a distinct economic and historical identity. As the Bowash example shows, megalopolises (the awkward plural) need not be within the borders of a single political entity; indeed, urban planners in the European Union are starting to look at cross-national megalopolises in their strategies..."
En México pienso en la transmegapolis del DF-Cuernavaca-Pachuca-Puebla por ejemplo, en la frontera noroeste es obvia la transmegapolis Ensenada-Tijuana-San Diego... Pensar con nuevas ideas ayudará a solucionar nuestros terribles nuevos problemas, y crear nuevas transmega oportunidades.
