The Urban Arcology is a concept that branches out from Paolo Soleri’s Arcology; it seeks to explore its impact in an urban context rather than in an open and uncluttered landscape.
While cities have some positive aspects, including their convenience, diversity, and various activities, it also contains significant detrimental aspects, such as insecurity and lack of well-being. These being said, the Urban Arcology calls for a more humane way of living, functioning as a living organism that desires to grow and expand to reach urban communities with a need for change.
