Neo-Civics for a Neo-City?

It looks like Neo-Cities are on the drawing boards – and even before Investor Boards. I wonder if the investors will consider similar aspects of investing in cities as they do in entrepreneurial start-ups? Especially the importance of the organizational team?

In entrepreneurial ventures the quality of the people generally outweighs the most clever of ideas or the most unusual patents.

I suggest the same ought to be true of Neo-Cities. But how will that be done? Will there be an application process? A recruitment team?

What criteria will they use to choose the initial citizens?
Will the criteria hold the same seeds of disaster that many an intentional community has sown?
How will the recruiters separate their own biases from the needs of the Neo-City?
How will the designers build in the appropriate form of governance? Will they design the first stage and then expect neo-politicians to take over the subsequent stages of developing governance – like strata corporations?
Will the state become involved in setting standard for Neo-Cities?
Will Neo-Cities exempt themselves from state interference through economic separation of banking and transactional exchanges?
Does a Neo-City need a neo-civics? Would that evolve out of Integral City’s 4 Voices and 4 Roles???
Might the Integral City 4 Voices provide the stem-cells for such a neo-civics?
