This constitution creates a city that has been described in many other documents. To summarize it, the city is essentially one gigantic botanical garden that consists of grass fields, trees, creeks, flowers, and gently rolling hills. Scattered at random throughout this giant park are "neighborhoods", each of which is a cluster of tall buildings.

Some neighborhoods consist of apartment buildings, others have office buildings, and others have factories. Some neighborhoods have a combination of apartments and offices buildings. Most neighborhoods also have restaurants, day care centers, and recreational facilities, and some also have schools, hospitals, museums, and auditoriums.

The primary transportation system is underground so that the land is available for foot paths, bicycle paths, plazas, swimming pools, ponds, creeks, and other recreational areas.

This type of city allows everybody to have easy access to nature and recreational areas regardless of whether they are at their home, school, hospital, or job. To make the city more visually interesting, each neighborhood is given a unique architecture and decorations. All of the foot paths, plazas, swimming areas, and bicycle paths have unique designs also.

Note: The AI software doesn't understand the concept of Kastron, but the images in these documents might give you some ideas of what the neighborhoods could look like. For example, the image below is supposed to be a neighborhood of office buildings that provides the people with easy access to by grass, trees, swimming areas, bicycle paths, and plazas.



The Neighborhoods Ministry is responsible for designing the neighborhoods. Kastron supports discrimination rather than diversity, so a neighborhood can be designed for a particular group of people. For example, one neighborhood could consist entirely of apartments that are restricted to childless adults, in which case that neighborhood would not have schools or daycare centers. The restaurants, social clubs, healthcare facilities, and recreational facilities in that particular neighborhood would be designed only for adults.

A neighborhood could also have one or more apartment buildings that are restricted to childless adults, and one or more apartment buildings for families, in which case the neighborhood would be a mixture. That is not "diversity" because each building is "discriminating" against its residents.

A neighborhood can also consist entirely of office buildings that people work in only during the day, in which case that neighborhood would become vacant and shut down at night.



A neighborhood could also be a mixture of apartments and office buildings so that some of the residents can get to work by walking short distances. Apartment buildings can also prohibit elderly people, thereby forcing people to move out of them when they become elderly.

Since the office buildings would be surrounded by nature, the employees would be able to quickly get out into nature for recreation during their lunch break, (or their breakfast break, if we switch to a two-meal schedule).

Every neighborhood of apartments would also be surrounded by nature, making it easy for people to ride bicycles or walk during their leisure time, or to get to their job.



We would only have to take an elevator to the ground floor and then walk out of the building to be surrounded by grass, trees, bicycle paths, foot paths, plazas, swimming pools, and other recreational areas.

The Neighborhoods Ministry is required to design neighborhoods according to what will provide us with the best life, not according to what the public or some organization wants. This gives them the freedom to experiment with concepts that would be unacceptable in a free enterprise system, such as creating modular buildings without trying to hide the modular aspects. They can let the gaps between the modular components be visible, or they could incorporate the gaps into the architectural decorations of the building.

They can experiment with such concepts as an apartment building that consists of the steel frame in which apartments are inserted, similar to how we insert drawers into clothing dressers. That allows the apartments to be built on the land, which is much more efficient, and less of an irritation to the workers. It also allows the apartments to be built to extremely close tolerances, which makes it easier for the units to be connected to the utilities in the building. It also allows an apartment to be removed and replaced if necessary.

These images are supposed to show a factory that builds modular apartment units, and one of the units inserted into the steel frame, but the AI software doesn't understand the concept.

The modular apartment units could be made with bathrooms, or the bathrooms could be independent modular units. The office buildings could be designed in the same modular manner.

Those modular apartment and office buildings might resemble "steam punk" architecture, but that could be very attractive.

Since nobody has experience building an entire city, it would be best to create only one neighborhood, and then let the construction workers and other people move into it and experience it. Those people will be able to identify problems and irritations with their neighborhood, and that information can be used to design the next neighborhood. This cycle would repeat until the entire city was finished.

The free enterprise system encourages businesses to do what is best for short-term profit, which results in businesses resisting a lot of useful technology. For example, they prefer to use unskilled labor and illegal immigrants rather than expensive robots.

To aggravate the problem, the competition for money causes most businesses to want to produce something for the public, rather than develop advanced machines for industries or scientific research. This results industries in the USA continuing to use CNC machines that require data be transferred to them through serial ports and floppy disks, even though the public abandoned that crude technology during the 1990s. This is resulting in machinists wasting time trying to get the newer computers, which don't have serial ports, to work with their CNC machines, such as this machinist, who is asking for help in October 2023.

This Constitution promotes the opposite philosophy. Specifically, that we will have a better life if we put more of our resources into eliminating the undesirable jobs, and improve the equipment used by industries, farms, healthcare facilities, and research laboratories.

Instead of using a lot of manual labor to create a new city, we should first build some machines to assist with the construction. For example, there are already some mobile, robotic welders (photo below, right), and they should be modified to weld the steel frame of a building. Improving those machines would require a lot of technical talent and resources, but it would make the job of constructing buildings much easier because the construction workers would not need to be proficient welders. The people would only show the robot the path to weld, and check the robot's work.

	People should only do the weldings that the machines cannot do.		Humans should supervise welding machines, rather than do the welding.

Likewise, instead of having people dig foundations for buildings and tunnels for underground transportation systems and utilities, we should develop CNC earthmoving equipment that is controlled by CNC programs (mentioned here).

This constitution advocates providing us with small apartments, and putting more of our resources into public facilities. This type of city will be a failure unless we truly want to get out of our home and spend most of our leisure time in the city and recreational areas.

Therefore, one of the goals of the Neighborhood Ministry (and other government agencies, of course) is to create a city that is so beautiful, and which provides so many desirable activities, that we want to spend most of our leisure time in the city.

The city should feel as if it is our home. Our apartment should feel as if it is just a large, luxurious bedroom within a giant mansion that we share with other people.

The restaurants should feel as if they are our dining rooms; the parks should feel as if they are our yards; and the swimming areas should feel as if they are our swimming pools.

In order to make this practical, the city has to be designed with lots of truly beautiful, comfortable, and desirable social areas, restaurants, foot paths, swimming pools, parks, and other facilities.

Furthermore, the only way we will feel as if the city is our home is if we can trust the people we live with. Therefore, we must raise standards for the people, including the children, and we must evict the criminals. This will allow us to be relaxed in the parks and swimming areas, even during the evenings, and the children will be able to play at the recreational facilitiess without their parents providing security.



The adults could spend time with their children at those facilities, but they would also be able to spend time with other adults without worrying about their children being kidnapped, molested, or abused by bullies.

Furthermore, by providing the city with lots of beautiful recreational areas, all of which have different architecture and designs, we will have more of an incentive to enjoy our city and less of a desire to travel to other cities.

There are often times, especially in the late evening, when we are tired and want to relax, rather than do something physically or mentally demanding. Rather than spend that time alone in our homes, the Neighborhoods Minister is required to provide the city with a variety of different types of lounge areas to allow us to relax by ourselves, with friends, or with whoever happens to be there.



The Neighborhoods Minister is required to design all of the lounge areas with different architecture and furnishings to prevent us from getting bored with the same style. The lounge rooms must be so pleasant that we prefer to relax in one of the lounge areas rather than in our apartment. This is based on the theory that we would rather do nothing with other people than to sit at home alone.

However, the lounge rooms will be a failure unless we raise standards for people so that we are living among people that we trust and enjoy, rather than people we fear, or who insult us for being white supremacists, sexists, racists, or anti-Semites.

We must also provide boys with a better sex education so that they don't develop obsessions for women's sexual organs. The women will not want to spend their leisure time in public lounge rooms if the men cannot control their sexual cravings, lewd remarks, and obnoxious jokes about "camel toes" and "that's what she said". The girls also need a better sex education so that they are better able to understand and deal with men.

If we can create a pleasant, relaxed social environment, people will enjoy getting outside of their home to do things, or just to relax. One of the theories that this constitution is based on is that we will have a more pleasant life when we do things to entertain ourselves, rather than passively watch other people do things. When we do watch other people, we will have more fun watching our friends do things, rather than watch strangers do things.

	Relaxing with friends is more pleasant than sitting at home alone.		Robot musicians would make it easy for people to sing for their friends.

I suspect that robot musicians will inspire people to get together to sing for or with their friends because:

•	Robots can provide higher quality music than speakers.
•	Robots will eventually have more dexterity than humans, thereby allowing them to create music that humans are incapable of.
•	Robots will be able to play stringed instruments without making that unpleasant noise of a finger sliding along the string.
•	We do not have to applaud robots, feel guilty about giving them orders, or worry about hurting their feelings by telling them to play some other song.
•	Voice recognition software would allow us to give verbal commands to the robots, which would be more pleasant and easier than pushing buttons and turning knobs on audio equipment.
•	We could tell the robots how to play the music, such as play it slower or faster, at a higher or lower volume, or in a different style.

Instead of mimicking the television version of Jeopardy and other games, the Leisure Ministry encourages people to create variations that are more appropriate to them.

This Constitution encourages participatory activities, rather than spectator activities.

Therefore, instead of passively watching other people play Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune, the Leisure Ministry can provide the equipment and rooms for people to play variations of those games that are more relevant to them, as I suggested here.

By providing a wide variety of lounge rooms, social activities, and recreational activities, everybody should be able to find something to do in their leisure time rather than sit at home alone.

Since there is no wealthy or peasant class, the tops of the buildings are available for the public, rather than to wealthy people. Therefore, instead of having private penthouses or extremely expensive restaurants on the tops of the buildings, they have lounges and restaurants that are available to everybody. In the evening, when people want to relax, they can go to the lounge rooms at the top of the buildings to rest, sing songs, or socialize with one another, as in the image below:

Since every neighborhood is a cluster of tall buildings, the city will have hundreds of rooftop lounges and restaurants, and each of them must have unique decorations and furniture to prevent monotony. There will be so many of them that they will never be overcrowded.

One of the reasons that people want to spend their evenings in their home is because they want relax while watching television. Therefore, one method to encourage people to get out of their apartment is to design the city with lots of small video rooms with gigantic, curved, high resolution monitors, high-quality audio, and high-quality chairs. I described this concept in other documents, such as here.

It is expensive to provide a city with lots of high-quality video rooms, but it would be more economical than providing every apartment with a large, high-quality monitor. The apartments would have smaller and less advanced monitors and audio equipment.

Since the video rooms don't need windows, it would be easy to soundproof them, thereby allowing people to watch videos without bothering their neighbors.

All of the video rooms would have different furniture and decorations. All video rooms would be small, such as holding 4 to 12 people, to make it easy for everybody to agree on what to watch, and to ensure that everybody has an excellent view.

The video rooms enable people to watch documentaries; look at photos or videos of their lives; and watch live video from cameras that are placed around the world, such as to observe a nest of baby birds, or a volcano that is erupting, or the fish in a pond.

By putting cameras and microphones into lounge rooms, the people in a video room would be able to see and talk to their friends in the lounge room. For example, the image below shows a video room in which a camera in a lounge room shows six people having a conversation.

By putting cameras and microphones into offices, factories, hospitals, children's facilities, recreational areas, the people in a video room could check to see if there are any problems at their factory, or to talk to their children, or to find out how their friend is doing at the hospital after a surgery. Although people can do those sort of things today with cell phones, the video rooms would provide much more comfort, and provide a much better images and audio.

Windows are a burden on society because they makes buildings more difficult to design, construct, and maintain; they increase the need for heating and cooling; they require occasional cleaning; and they are fragile. Therefore, every window should provide enough of a benefit to counteract its burden.

An example of windows that are not beneficial are those that open into shafts, such as those in the photo below, right.

Although they provide a small amount of light, the view out the window is so unpleasant that most people want to keep the curtains closed, or use frosted glass. Those windows provide some ventilation, but they also let in odors and noises from the neighbors.

This type of window should be considered unacceptable for a home or office.		Areas of a building they cannot provide proper windows should be for something that doesn't need windows.

In a free enterprise system, those type of windows are provided to the peasant class, but since everybody is equal in Kastron, the Neighborhoods Ministry is required to ensure that every apartment has desirable windows, and that all apartments are equal to the others in regards to size, quality, and other features.

The sections of an apartment building that cannot provide appropriate windows and other living conditions are required to be used for something other than an apartment, such as laundry, maintenance, video rooms, barbershops, or storage.

We want windows in our homes because we were designed to live on the ground, among trees, flowers, birds, creeks, and grass, just like other monkeys. We want sunlight, and we want to be surrounded by nature.

Our craving for nature causes us to want windows in our home, but looking out of a window will not satisfy those cravings. Looking out of a window is not much more satisfying than watching other people eat food, or sitting in front of a television and watching fictional people have fictional friendships and fictional activities.

Looking out of a window is enjoyable only for brief periods, such as when we want to have a meal by ourselves, or when we want to relax, in which case we can go to a restaurant or lounge and look out of a window to observe the weather, people, trees, parks, creeks, or clouds.

Cats and dogs often sit in front of a window and look outside, but it is unusual to see people looking out of their home windows, except for brief moments. Most people use their windows only for sunlight and ventilation. The reason is simply because looking out of a window does not satisfy our craving for nature. The only people who might spend a lot of time looking out of their window are the prisoners who have windows.


Some houses have tremendous amount of glass windows, but the people living in them are not having a better life than the rest of us. We cannot improve our lives simply by providing our homes with more windows, or with larger windows. Rather, the more windows we have, the more of a burden we put on ourselves because the windows need cleaning, and they increase the resources needed to control the temperature inside the home.

The same concept applies to balconies. Specifically, we want balconies because we want to be able to go outside into nature, but balconies cannot satisfy that craving, so most balconies are unused and wasted.

A more sensible way of satisfying our craving for nature is to design our cities so that we have easy access to nature. This is why this Constitution advocates putting the transportation system and utilities underground, and designing the city to be a gigantic city park with clusters of tall buildings scattered within it.

Likewise, our craving for nature causes us to want plants, aquariums, water fountains, and pictures of nature on the walls, but none of those things will satisfy our cravings, either (this was dicussed here).

Instead of providing ourselves with giant homes with lots of windows, balconies, plants, aquariums, and water fountains, this constitution advocates small homes in tall apartment buildings, and surrounding the buildings with a wide variety of parks, gardens, swimming areas, and beautiful public buildings for social and recreational activities.

We should reduce the amount of windows in the apartments to only those that are truly beneficial. Children and students have the least interest in looking out of windows, so we should consider providing them with rooms that don't have windows.

By reducing the number of windows in the apartments, we can create apartment buildings with a higher density of people, which reduces the amount of land needed for apartment buildings. This allows us to have more land for recreational and social activities.



Likewise, the office buildings would be in clusters surrounded by gardens, parks, bicycle paths and recreational areas. This would allow the office workers to have easy access to nature.



The factories that don't need extremely heavy equipment or supplies could also be placed in the tall buildings, thereby providing the factory workers with access to nature.

The buildings that are for industrial purposes rather than people, such as food storage, computer rooms, chemical processing equipment, automated factories, and warehouses can be designed as decorations for the city, and as tall as possible to reduce the amount of land that they need.
The amazing creativity of the AI software might give you some ideas of how our factories could be decorations for the city:



The schools, doctors offices, research laboratories, and daycare centers would also be in the clusters of tall buildings.



By having lots of land around the neighborhoods, there will be enough land to scatter different types of gazebos in the parks, on the ponds, and in the trees. Some of them could be designed for children, and others would be for adults. They would allow us to get together to relax, have a party, or socialize, while being surrounded by nature and protected from the weather and insects.



By keeping crime to extremely low levels, children could get together with their friends to sleep in the gazebos, like a slumber party.



In the cities with cold climates, some gazebos could become greenhouses that are kept warm be kept warm with waste heat so that they provide us with year-round access to tropical plants, such as orchids and bromeliads. Some of them could be designed to be lounge rooms, others for dining, and others for music or games.



If some gazebos attract more people than they can handle, the popular gazebos would be available by reservation only. As described here, since the city does not have a wealthy or peasant class, everybody has equal access to the scarce items.

In the case of a popular gazebo, after a person has had his chance to use it, he has to wait for other people to have their chance before he can use it again. Computers would keep track of the reservations so that people don't have to bother with such a boring chore.

The same concept applies to all of the other resources that have a higher demand than there is a supply for them, such as music concerts, museums, and scarce foods. Specifically, computers would provide everybody with equal access to the scarce resources by ensuring that everybody who wants to use a particular resource has the chance to use it before somebody uses it again.

Since computers can now recognize our faces, understand our speech, and talk to us, we can make reservations for the scarce resources by calling the city's computer and asking when it will be available to us. The computer would let us know if it's available, and if not, we could request the computer to notify us when our opportunity to use it arises again.

An alternative to windows would be sheets of frosted or stained glass that have lights behind them. An even better option would be some type of computer screen because that can simulate anything, and it can also be used as a computer monitor and telephone. It could also switch images automatically to prevent us from getting bored with the same image.

There are some companies, such as liquidview, selling flat panels as a replacement for windows, but they are extremely expensive as of 2024. However, they will certainly become more reliable, durable, energy efficient, and less expensive in the future, so they will eventually become sensible replacements for windows.

Unlike a free enterprise system, in which there is a lot of emphasis on short-term profit, the Neighborhoods Ministry can justify projects that have a high cost if they provide cost savings in the future, or if they provide enough value to human life to be considered worth the expense.

This requires the Neighborhoods Ministry to make decisions about when they are making something too beautiful or too advanced. For example, would we be wasting our resources by replacing some of our windows with stained-glass light panels or computer monitors?

In a free enterprise system, each person decides for himself what is worth purchasing, and when he is spending "too much" money on something. For example, some people consider wine, jewelry, expensive automobiles, lottery tickets, Hollywood movies, candy bars, and pet animals to be justifiable expenses, whereas other people consider those things to be a waste of money.

Since this economic system puts the ministers in control of every aspect of it, the Neighborhood Ministry must make decisions about when they are putting "too much" resources into a project.

Although light panels and computer monitors are still quite expensive, they will become increasingly practical, and eventually become desirable because they will be able to do things that windows cannot do.

For example, in the image below, imagine the stained glass window has a light panel behind it. Instead of waking up to a loud buzzing noise from an alarm clock, we could set an alarm on the light panel so that it turns on at a very low brightness level, and then it would slowly increase the brightness over 10 to 15 minute, thereby waking us up gently, as if the sun was rising.

A computer monitor would be even more useful than a light panel because a computer panel can simulate different types of stained glass windows, and display photographs, drawings, videos, and animations. A computer can also create different types of white noise that decrease in volume as we go to sleep.

Those type of windows would not need curtains. Instead of closing the curtains, we would turn off the light panel or the computer monitor.

By providing the computer with a microphone and speech recognition software, we would tell the computer what we want it to do rather than be bothered with keyboards, switches, knobs, or touchscreens.

For example, we could tell the computer to slowly wake us up in the morning, but instead of waking us up with an irritating noise, we could request the computer to turn on the panels to its dimest level at 6 AM, display a random stained-glass window, and slowly increase to full brightness during the next 15 minutes, as in the image below:



Or we could also request the computer to display stained-glass windows on only some of the panels, and display a slideshow of beautiful mushrooms in the primary panel, as in the image below:

Or we could request a simulated sunrise, a video of birds chirping, or a slideshow of photos of our family or of unusual flowers.

The lounge rooms, restaurants, music rooms, office rooms, day care centers, and other rooms that don't have good views of nature could be provided with light panels behind stained-glass windows, such as the lounge room in the image below:

Computer panels might also help children get to sleep at night by displaying images or videos while telling them a story, and slowly dimming the lights and reducing the level of its artificial voice.

However, instead of telling stories that are frightening, such as Hansel and Gretel, or stories that encourage pouting, envy, or unrealistic expectations, such as The Ugly Duckling, I suggest the stories be pleasant and relaxing.

The children could also request the computer to play music or songs, while slowly decreasing the level of the audio and lights. Some children might even want the computer to imitate the voice of their mother or father.

The censorship document points out that everybody has a different idea on which art is desirable, and which should be censored. As discussed in the section about City Elders, the Neighborhoods Ministry has the authority to determine what is regarded as acceptable public art.

In a democracy, some neighborhoods, condominium complexes, and business parks set the artistic styles for their structures, holiday decorations, or colors of their buildings. However, this constitution does not allow any of the neighborhoods to have their own government. Instead, the Neighborhoods Ministry sets the artistic styles for all of the neighborhoods.

The Neighborhoods Ministry determines what is acceptable for the design and decorations of the apartment buildings, office buildings, parks, plazas, foot paths, bicycle paths, swimming areas, recreational areas, restaurants, and other structures of the city. They also determine what is acceptable for furnishings of the homes and offices.

Each person is free to decorate his home and office as he pleases, but everybody must choose from the furniture and decorations that are provided by the Neighborhoods Ministry. This is the same concept that was described with clothing.

Although people are free to decorate their home or office as they please, this ministry has the authority to set standards for organizations and people in regards to the decorations for their homes and offices. For example, I've suggested in previous documents, such as this, that people be prohibited from putting water fountains, animals, and live plants in their homes in order to reduce the problem of mildew, mold, insects, and water damage.

Each executive has the authority to put further restrictions on the art that their employees use to decorate their offices or cubicles. This gives the executive the ability to prevent employees from decorating their office in a manner that encourages bad attitudes or disrupts the other employees. For example, an executive can prohibit these "funny" decorations.

In addition to determining which type of art, furniture, and other decorations are acceptable, the Neighborhoods Ministry also is responsible for arranging the production of items for both citizens and organizations, and they are responsible for operating the retail stores that provide the items.

They are also responsible for cleaning the items that are returned by the citizens and organizations, and repairing or replacing the items that are worn or damaged.
