The Movement of Light
The Transportation Network
The circular network is on average shorter from any point to any other point ​than an equivalent size grid network, and there's no stop-start intersections, reducing energy spent and saving time and stress.
The circular transportation network can also be a information highway for the internet and potentially for transporting renewable energy and powering electric vehicles.

With everything we need less than 4 km of where we live for 73.4% of the population and 5.6 km for everyone. Walking and cycling or e-bikes and mobility scooters are ideal for day to day needs. For the occasional long journey a faster transportation system may be needed. But it would need to be contained to prevent killing bugs and birds and other animals that find themselves in the way. (See More)
