What Kind of World (a series: #8 of 10)

UPPER IMAGE: Total Enclosure System
These skyscrapers assure that more land will be available for parks and wilderness preserves, while concurrently helping to eliminate urban sprawl. Each one of these towers encloses a complete environment that includes access to childcare, educational, health, recreational, hydroponic facilities and more.

LOWER IMAGE: Automated Canal Digger
This prodigious machine autonomously excavates the ground beneath it to form canals. These excavation machines could play a very important role today due to the consequences of climate change. The Antarctic is melting and sea levels are rising faster than predicted, which will result in massive catastrophes throughout the world. These canals can be dug from the oceans to less inhabited deserts below sea level. Diverting sea water to the deserts by way of these canals will bring much-needed moisture to the surrounding areas, enabling portions of the desert terrain to bloom.
