It seems to be something between the schemes set out in [[Author:Paul Goodman|Paul]] and {{w|Percival Goodman|Percival_Goodman}}{{s}} ''{{l|Communitas|https://archive.org/details/communitasmeanso010751mbp}},'' and the {{qq|{{w|Fun Palace|Fun_Palaces}}}} ideas of {{w|Joan Littlewood|Joan_Littlewood}} and {{w|Cedric Price|Cedric_Price}}.

{{sc|{{w|New babylon|New_Babylon}}}} is a world city of leisure and creativity, spreading in all directions, enveloping the globe like a net, fifty feet above ground level, leaving the ground free for agriculture, nature and highways.

{{tab}}Under New Babylonic circumstances the lust for aggression in mankind will be sublimated into a lust for playfulness. (As {{w|Freud|Sigmund_Freud}} wrote to {{w|Einstein|Albert_Einstein}} fifty years ago, this is the only alternative for mankind if it is not to be wiped out by wars.)

{{tab}}New Babylon is the {{qq|ambience total}} for {{qq|{{w|homo ludens|Homo_Ludens}}}}.

{{tab}}Homo ludens is the new man of a mechanised world.

{{tab}}The machanised world of {{w|cybernetics|Cybernetics}} and {{w|automation|Automation}} will leave much leisure time, and in this free time, man will establish his own settlement in collective creativity.

{{tab}}This settlement we call New Babylon.

{{tab}}New Babylon is the environment for a new type of man: homo ludens.

{{tab}}Homo ludens evolves in free time: time freed by automation. ''{{qq|{{popup|A nous la liberté, après nous la liberté|To us liberty, after us liberty.}}}}''.

{{tab}}Automation frees man from the slavery of forced utilitarian labour.

{{tab}}New Babylon is the world man evolves while at play.</div>
