Introduction
This transversal article is a mere attempt to show the emerging shape of a globally p2p-oriented city model, or at least what it could become someday.
It is intended as a placeholder for resources linked to a City-as-a-grid model, where primal needs generation and distribution (food, energy, chores, computing, essential jobs...) as well as commonly needed dispenses (tools sharing, maintenance fees, ...) would be distributed in a geographical way.
Is shares the same goals as the Global Villages and Multi-local Societies visions, yet aims to have a scientific insight on the alternative that is being offered to us all.
Notions such as a part-time chore concept (citizen participation), peer to peer learning, alternative money or the implications of 3D replication/printing technologies or of immersive telepresence (enabling telework) will be studied keys.
A wider goal for this project is to study the dynamics of the needed resources in conjunction with population evolution, of the global cost of the infrastructure, and to consider this model applicable in a natural transition from immaterial goods towards a parallel, goods-based, geographical community.
Ultimately, the use of virtual worlds based technologies as simulation basis might help compare the discerned approaches and notions impacts.
