NSW’s Metropolis of Six Cities
NSW’s Global City Commission (GCC) is the statutory body responsible for planning and co-ordination of the State’s new ‘Six-Cities-Region’.
‘Six-cities’ brings together the regions of Lower Hunter, Greater Newcastle, Central Coast, Greater Sydney and Illawarra-Shoalhaven to form one giant ‘Smart-City Metropolis’ spanning 2 million hectares.
The Commission’s vision is of a ‘go-to smart hub’ where “people and goods across the region” can be “digitally and globally connected in a nanosecond”.
Other goals include the massive increase “of multi-unit and higher density housing in accessible locations”.
A wondrous Utopia of “affordable” housing and ‘people-centred’ neighbourhoods where residents’ daily needs, “including jobs, services and amenities, are all met within a 15 minute walk”.
Central Business Districts, shopping malls and large, physical retail shops will be phased out, along with private cars.
Walking and cycling are now the “preferred modes of transport”.
City and region plans will also “embed pathways to accelerate the achievement of net zero” under NSW’s Net Zero Plan.
Which all makes sense once you understand that ‘Net Zero’ is essentially about limiting all human activity.
The UK’s Climate Change Commission has said that 62 percent of ‘emission reductions’ will come, not from renewables, but through “behaviour change and individual choices”.
“Individual choices” are referenced again and again in the ‘Six-Cities’ documentation.
It is unlikely that such ‘individual choices’ will be freely adopted.
Especially when those ‘choices’ will result in a much poorer quality of life – less consumption, less travel, less food, less water and a colder home.
Enforced rationing, basically.
That’s where all the ‘smart city’ and ‘nudge’ technology comes in.
Providing the State with the necessary tools for ‘controlling’ people’s ‘choices’– what they eat, what energy they use, where they work, what jobs they perform, how many children they have, and so much more.
The Six-Cities project, the Commission says, will be “framed” by the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”, all within the context of Agenda 2030 and the ‘Great Reset’.
According to the Discussion Paper, smart cities and “SDG pathways” will mean the “end of racism, overcrowding, pollution, waste, crime, health threats, homelessness and carbon emissions”.
That it also means the end of privacy, property rights and freedom of movement, is not mentioned.
Nor do they mention how deeply alienating this micro-managed, toy-town environment will be, robbing people of their rightful connection to nature, reality and each other.
Just one more ‘top-down’, anti-human, anti-life agenda, imposed on us without consultation or consent.
A ‘new normal’ of totalitarianism, wrapped up in a shiny, new “green” bow.
