How to organize and standardize

 

The picture symbolizes how people from different countries in the world come together and create an AortaCity Main Soft Center to organize and standardize the development.

We think Sweden will be a nice choice to place the AC-MSC in.

For the moment we are cooperating with a university in the north of Sweden.

The north of Sweden has a large potential because of a number of future important factors. There is a rich mining industry. And as we know, steel is a key to build modern city blocks. Renewable energy from their forests is another future important factor. They also produce lots of renewable electricity from hydro power. The large windy areas in the western mountains is suitable for huge parks of wind power stations. And the climate change will probably not effect life in the north of Sweden as much as in many other places on earth.

- That's the reason why we would like to place the AC-MSC in the north of Sweden.

In order to organize such a revolutionizing matter as a brand new infrastructure system on the planet earth is, you need to know appropriate people and you must be able to visualize your vision.

The way our team has chosen is to cooperate with an university in the north of Sweden. Students at the university will make humanitarian modified models of AortaCity and compete in an UN-HABITAT World Urban Forum contest. A contest named Smart Urban Fabrics Beyond Oil. The winning team will be chosen at WUF IV 2008 in China. Some departments at the university will also work with heating/cooling systems, water/sewage systems, renewable energy systems and waste recycling systems.

The university is the seed to the AortaCity main soft center, AC-MSC, to organize and standardize the worldwide development. Other Swedish universities will cooperate and the door is open for universities all over the world.

If the AortaCity concept appears to be successful in the contest it will then be appropriate to widen the main soft center. Nations/cities interested in AortaCity development then can be part of the organization as local soft centers, AC-LSC.

Most of the development will be done on computers like CAD-design and flow simulations. Many components can be standardized and prefabricated. New building techniques will be developed and special designed machines will be manufactured.

AortaCity lines beneficially is built fast to minimize loss in capital and interest. You therefore should use standardized components and global knowledge.
