What exactly is a model city for us?
There are two fundamental approaches by which we can think about the fabric of a model city: is this city a model primarily of consumption or a model primarily of contribution?
Consumer approach
Cities that are built primarily on the model of consumption do more taking than giving, more using than making, more importing than exporting, and is more inward focused than outward focused. Consumptive cities are driven implicitly by the question "How can we get what we need?"
Contributor approach
Cities that are built primarily on the model of contribution do more giving than taking, produce more than they deplete, export more than import, and are outward focused than inward focused. Contributive cities are driven implicitly by the question "How can we give what the world needs?"
