I was talking this morning over breakfast with George about EcoCities. There are a number of ambitious plans in the Gulf, as well as China and India, to build ground-up green cities. The solutions feel like overlaying smart technology onto traditional city layout, with public spaces and more room for walking than driving. So when I saw picture, which is the picture of the day from National Geograpic, of a clothesline, it made me think about how many things which in the 20th century we "improved" upon using machines and power, we are now going back to.
