“The colony that has sustainable systems in 1000 year cycle.”

This colony has the system that human live in harmony with “green” by growing trees, and urban function develops together with nature environment.
The colonies gather up by the loop transportation, and they aren’t completed at the same time.
At first, they start with growing plants as parts of environment.
The loops of transportation are the liner bands of environment, and they are made in exchange for the land where human emigrate.
They exist not as spots, but as bands with continuity, so there is a possibility of expanding in many directions.
When the liner environment has been completed, the transportations are placed, and they surround some of the colonies.
The colonies aren’t? expanded in horizontal direction, but in vertical with the same volume.
Each colony has a 1000 year span of a lifetime.
The urban function and structure are distinguished in 1000 years, and only plants of which are consisted by nature environment leave.
Finally, the colony becomes the woods with the same volume as it.
High density city which has nature environment in half of the structure needs human to help keeping it.
It makes not only new employment to sustain the condition, but also ordinary human care to natural environment.?
The daily care to nature makes us understand the importance of it without notice.

I expressed, as a view over the nature, this colony, which didn’t have priority to efficiency, but is for the coexist of human and nature.
