This TED talk from James Howard Kunstler has implications for creating spaces in the metaverse as much as it addresses suburbia in the US. 20 minutes well worth your time (but note profanity in the talk, so NSWF):
In James Howard Kunstler’s view, public spaces should be inspired centers of civic life — the physical manifestation of the common good. Instead, he argues, what we have in America is a nation of places not worth caring about. Reengineering our cities will involve more radical change than we are prepared for, he believes, but our hand will be forced by earth crises stemming from our overconsuming lifestyle. “Life in the mid-21st century,” Kunstler says, “is going to be about living locally.” Passionate, profane and funny, this talk will make you think about the place where you live.
