1) Have 80% of all exposed cement, concrete, or metal in the city
covered in a creeping plant of some sort, like ivy
2) Find or bioengineer great, big, tall, sturdy, flexible trees that
can withstand typhoons and have massive canopies and blanket the city
under interlocking canopies
3) Ban the use of concrete in certain areas or certain structures.
Only volcanic ash, wood, bamboo, recycled plastic, rubber, brick, mud,
straw, whatever is appropriate
4) Link all the equipment in manila's gyms to power-generating
mechanism so that everytime we go on the treadmill or lift weights, we
generate electricity that is stored somewhere and is used to power...
i don't know, a giant parol. street lights. traffic lights. a
mechanical art installation.
Or if not all manila's gyms, then have a stationary bike,
power-generation center.
5) Go to communities and ask people to model their ideal version of
the city using children's clay. Then have their models realized in
exactly that way, complete with all the sinuous curves and
imperfections of the medium.
