City on the Moon, anytime soon?
City of London: time is running out soon!

As China unfurls its flag 🇨🇳 on the Moon, Britain can unfurl a fish 🐠 on the EU negotiating table. If only a #RedHerring could be found at Whitehall!

He [Roman Emperor #Augustus] found a #city [#Rome] built of #brick; he left it #built of #marble.

“Urbem lateritiam accepit, mamoream relinquit.”

[Open SEZ @Open_SEZ]

#Africa’s picture-perfect #coastline is all but useless when it comes to setting up #harbors. Africa’s shoreline is mostly smooth and shallow, which makes it difficult to build #deepwater #ports.

The #city is not a #ConcreteJungle, it is a human zoo.

[GeoPlots @GeoPlots]

When several #villages are united in a single complete #community large enough to be nearly or quite self-sufficing, the #state comes into existence, originating in the bare needs of life and continuing in existence for the sake of a good life.
