4 - Providing a transportation system of commuter and parcel rail service between these towns, which will make up an icitys, metropolitan, intrastate rail system. 6 - Agricultural independence means that much of the food and other products consumed or used by the residents of an icity are produced within the towns boundary or an adjacent work island . 7- Work Islands will be created to provide a working environment that is not compatible with the residential lifestyle, such as cattle ranches, mining, chemical processing or large scale farming that would pollute a residential icity with dust and unfavorable smells. These work islands would directly serve the surrounding towns. Work Islands are places for work only.
Nobody lives there, workers commute via train from their resident icity.
Don't place a town on a major river where drainage run-off from the town could pollute the river. Build corridors perpendicular, not parallel, to a major river. Don't pollute the air by burning fossil fuels in automobiles and factories. One example being, that a rail system transports people from town to town, but in addition would also provide courtesy car rental of electric or non polluting cars at the destination station. This same approach can be used for the solar-electric industry.
