Great response!
Some of my key takeaways.
- Cultural integration best practices can be benchmarked and implemented.
- Economical structures can be established and controlled by partner counties who oversee these cities.
I want to add a bit of my perspective to your idea to see how it
I recently visited Japan and talking to the locals I realized that Japan like many other countries is suffering from a low birth rate which leads to a declining population. This ends up having significant economical impact and the extrapolations tell a bleak story. Japan like other countries are extremely worried about this. They could allow mass immigration but they are afraid of what people bring with them (religion, radical beliefs etc.). I picture a trusted organization that facilitates the screening process for them but it gets tricky. One slip up and that company loses it’s credibility.
Additionally, your free city concept is similar to my old city idea. Many towns in Japan are really deserted because people moved to Tokyo. Now if there was a way for those towns to be filled (already built resources and infrastructure) then it could present a win win situation. I picture this as something that can be implemented across the world.
However, think about the impact on a country once a system is created that makes leaving easy. This is where my logic breaks down. Countries, like bad companies going bankrupt, could fail due to the lack of people. This could easily happen to a small island like those of the Caribbean.
Would love to hear your thoughts?
