Description

John Robb:

"A process whereby entire cities or neighborhoods within complex cities, become tightly controlled walled enclaves disconnected from the wider polity.


While neofeudalization reduces violence, it is at the expense of:

  • Economic activity. Commuting is nearly impossible. Retail dries up.
  • Movement. Travel speed is reduced by six fold (based on examples). Few cars are allowed (due to the danger of VBIEDs).
  • Privacy. All residents are monitored and biometrically detailed."
