Plan
Housing three billion new urban residents in forty years, while at the same time managing the shift from a capitalist-consumerist society to a leisure society is an enormous task. Therefore, demonstration cities must be established quickly on each continent, followed by many more, increasing exponentially until all of humanity that wishes to live in cities can do so.
We are initially developing 7 Arcoplexes throughout the world as follows:
Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Oceania (including Australasia.
General Outline
a. Establish an organisation structure comprising the overarching Management company and 7 teams in 7 locations with the capacity to deliver the objective .
b. In addition develop the Organisation to deliver multiple subsequent cities
c. Purchase an R & D Institute to centralise the major planning on this enormous project and coordinate all the work simultaneously being done in 7 different locations around the world. In addition to design and invent new IP for the project on an on going basis eg Identify, commission and develop the technologies required for a fully automated, self-sufficient Arcoplex
d. Research, plan, design, and construct the first seven LightCities.
Time line

- Masterplanning for production and distribution of retail goods
- Masterplanning of earthworks and landscape design
- Masterplanning of governance structures for each Arcoplex and its 10 Arcologies
- Investment and costing plan for every year of the Design & Construct process
- Legal structuring and set up of relevant companies and foundations for example:
a- initial development company
b- initial investment company
c- institute foundation - Oversee the timeline process and ensure that all commitments are achieved
Phase 2 – Year 3 to Year 8
- government approvals obtained
- Finalise all 7 Construction Documentation processes
- Commmence Earthworks and Construction
- landscaping, attraction parks & farmland completed
- definition of criteria and selection of citizenship
- create and start the training program for new citizens
- develop educational and training material to share the tools and know how
Phase 3 – Year 8 to Year 15
- Continue Construction Process
- First citizens will move in to the first completed Arcoplexes for the trial period
- self-sufficiency and sustainability is successfully acquired for 500,000 people cities
- extend the number of cities on an on going basis
- people are being trained to duplicate the model worldwide
A holistic approach to urban liveability
To achieve liveable solutions, Ramboll’s holistic and integrated urban planning model encapsulates the environmental, social, economic, and physical aspects of a city – rather than treating each element of the urban environment, such as water or transport infrastructure, in isolation.
We recognise a market need for an all-encompassing service provider that can offer independent guidance and practical support at every level of the urban development process. Our comprehensive offering covers:
- Strategy – We create the framework for exploring and identifying benefits, needs and long term focus areas through our management competencies in governance, policy making, socio-economics, and stakeholder management
- Planning – Our ability to transform innovative ideas into pragmatic, implementable proposals is borne out of an extensive record on urban master planning projects worldwide
- Detailed design – We help to realise liveable solutions by drawing on our world class technical expertise within areas such as transport infrastructure, water and energy, sustainable buildings, architecture, urban landscaping and design
