Victory City

I dont like utopic models of cities i think its better to re-plan what is already made in our reallity with its problems and benefitis instead of creating a model of a "perfect city" or a perfect "society" that will never exist. Models are often imposed on us by just a little part of a society and sometimes they don't respond to the real needs of the people.
This model called Victory City was created by Orville Simpson, it's an entire city operated by private enterprise. This city would be placed in the middle of a countryside, that consist of 5 builindings 102 floors high that would give you everything you need under just one roof.
One of the things it bothers me most its that the model is supposed to concentrate lots of people in a smaller space and that would mean to eliminate 95% of the streets and sidewalks. I think that it´s a really bad decision because the sidewalks and streets are one of the most important places to relate with other people.
I think this model was thought as an object that you can put anywhere you need: "There will not be just one, but many such cities throughout the entire world"...instead of a real city made of diferent people, with different needs, ideas, ways of life and thinking, neither does this model repond to the possibles and diferent contexts of the world. Its almost imposible to respond to that with such restrictive model as this. This model its just a dream...
