Extensive Design Insertions and Operations

Extensive Design Insertions (proposed in all zones):
• Desalination/WTE Towers
• Evacuation Centers
• Environmentally monitoring, wireless communication transmitting Light Poles
• School/Parks relationship

Extensive Operations (proposed in all zones):
• Decentralized infrastructure
• Greywater use
• Blackwater treatment in building + Hydrogen production
• Energy generation
• Air filtration (plantings)
• Water catchment
• Composting
• Recycling
• Density bonuses for small carbon, water, electrical footprints
• Capturing and filtering water – porous streets

Detail of microbial fuel cell (research prototype):
At the building scale, sewage can be treated in microbial fuel cells which clean the water and then produce hydrogen fuel as a bybroduct of their metabolism.  Dry sanitary toilets drastically reduce the amount of clean water dedicated to moving sewage around the city and simply making the problem bigger.
