The Rebirth of the City-State \u2014 How We Get To Next<\/a><\/p>\n

The alternatives we\u2019re moving toward, I\u2019d like to suggest, will for many reasons bear more than a passing resemblance to what we\u2019ve already seen\u2014cities emerging as the most salient unit of physical and political organization; self-governing, economically independent, and culturally unique.
\nIn short, we\u2019re due for the rebirth of the city-state.
\n\u2026
\n\u2026city-states and national boundaries can coexist, as historical example shows: In the 15th\u201319th centuries, trade along the northern coast of Europe was dominated by the Hanseatic League, a sophisticated commercial network of almost 200 cities in what are now 16 countries, which included pacts for mutual defense against interference by rival powers.
\n\u2026
\nTaken together, these trends point to a picture of the city as a more insular ecosystem than we\u2019re used to experiencing\u200a\u2014\u200aon a physical level at least\u2014where we\u2019ll try to keep as many urban life support systems inside it as possible.
\n\u2026
\nBuilding daily-use objects in our own homes, claimed Anderson in a talk he gave as part of the Long Now Foundation\u2019s seminar series, will \u201creverse the arrow of globalization,\u201d halting the constant search for lower labor costs involved in the race-to-the-bottom of outsourced manufacturing, and bring in a renaissance of small-batch fabrication. Like local energy production, it will also steer cities toward self-sufficiency, as the convenience of either making goods yourself or obtaining them from a fabbing workshop across town will outweigh the cost of shipping them in from elsewhere.
\nIf the above turns out to be true, the effects of the shift will run deeper than just the way we physically organize our cities. To borrow from the always-relevant doctrine of Karl Marx, a change in the dominant mode of production that underpins a society will inevitably alter the social structure itself, giving birth to new forms of social relations while sweeping aside the old.
\n\u2026
\n\u201cWhen you have more people who are educated and don\u2019t have to do mundane and routine daily work in order to survive, there\u2019s a lot of time to think about shared spaces and efficiency of government. Our current systems aren\u2019t fit for modern purpose and they won\u2019t last, especially when we have more automation, and people have more time to define their ideas for how they want to live in harmony with other people.\u201d
\n\u2026
\nFor the next few hundred years it\u2019s improbable that we\u2019ll see the death of the nation-state altogether, but the power of cities both large and small is in the ascendant, and they will almost certainly move closer to self-governance.
\n\u2026
\n\u201cOne way or another, we\u2019re going to end up with a collection of city-states or clusters of megacities,\u201d Rhys-Taylor told me. \u201cBut how they\u2019re arranged in relationship to one another\u200a\u2014\u200awhether it\u2019s a hierarchy or a meshwork\u200a\u2014\u200areally depends on the political framework through which they evolve.\u201d
\n\u201cIt\u2019s a tough one to call, though,\u201d he added. \u201cWe\u2019re in interesting times at the moment.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
