“The recent Sinica podcast episode on Xiong’an, China’s designer city, fascinated me. Although China probably won’t produce the flying cars we had all hoped for after watching the The Jetsons, a TV show beloved by Boomer kids, maybe China can build a low pollution, high tech city where traffic jams are unknown and everything works. Of course, it will also be a high-surveillance city. Will this project come to fruition? Will people want to live there? Will Western democracies want to copy some of the Chinese urban planning successes? Will the Star Fleet academy be located in Xiong’an? Lots to think about here.”
