    humanscalecities: I am yet not sure if this is just weird or completely crazy, or even if this plan is real. It should be a new chapter in Sudjic´s Architecture of power. smellvestercologne: Source: BBC News - “Southern Sudan unveils plans for animal-shaped cities” (Click photo to access article) The authorities in southern Sudan have unveiled a $10bn (£6.4bn) plan to rebuild the region’s cities in the shapes of animals and fruit. The regional capital, Juba, will be relocated and designed in the shape of a rhinoceros. Wau, the capital of Western Bahr el-Ghazal state, is to be a somewhat unwieldy giraffe. In Juba, the office of the regional president is situated where the rhinoceros’s eye should be. In Wau, the sewage treatment plant is appropriately placed under the giraffe’s tail.
