Summary of "The Self-Proclamied Micronation HAs Plans for a Car-Free, Algae-Powered City"

In this article, Adele Peters stated the idea of soi-disant “micronation” located on a small piece of land between Croatia and Serbia, known as “Free Republic of Liberland”, operating without automobiles and driven by algae had been idealised by a committee of libertarians. The writer also mentioned that in order to tackle the issue of land scarcity, an architectural plan which involves the layering of the city’s neighbourhood while the city expands has been established. The article explains the concepts of algae powering the city by covering the bottom of each neighbourhood platform with genetically altered algae, of which can be used for power. Also, in order to achieve the status of zero vehicle nation, as well as to reduce pollution, buildings are clustered around transits to allow the accessibility of the different parts of the city by foot.
