Las Vegas' Paradise Blvd (aka 'The Strip') is an example of the prototypical American City as it will be in 2035.
"At first, this build up of emotional experiences in urban centers was unconscious, Wolfe said, in part a reaction to the creation of "edge cities" -- suburban and exurban centers far from traditional downtowns -- that lacked any "emotional economy.""The core of great cities today is selling experience, selling emotional excitement. Why will cities spend billions on stadiums for sports? Because it's one of the great American experiences," Wolfe said." Editor's note: Free (but long and annoying) registration required.
