Another sustainable city being planned from scratch is Ecobay on the Paljassaare Peninsula in Estonia, overlooking the Baltic Sea. Inhabitat raises an interesting point regarding these built-from-scratch communities:
While they certainly present an organized and efficient vision of modernity, some staunch critics (most notably Jane Jacobs) have raised concerns that they may limit the organic self-organizing capacity of a city left to grow of its own accord. Since these super-funded cities are currently in the process of creation, it has yet to be seen how their communities will grow and develop.
