Are there optimal or maximum numbers of people who can live together constructively? Is the idea to create smaller, more personal communities within the grander complexes? New York has a few real communities, like the Village and near Columbia, Paris, with three million people, packed four times as closely together as are New Yorkers, still seems a large village.
