How can Kropotkin's ideas apply to modern cities?
The principles of decentralization and self-sufficiency I advocated in 'Fields, Factories and Workshops Tomorrow' are directly relevant to contemporary urban challenges. Imagine cities organized into smaller, self-governing communes, where local production – including food – is prioritized, and essential services are managed cooperatively. This approach fosters resilience against global disruptions and empowers citizens by placing decision-making power within their immediate communities, reducing reliance on distant, often unresponsive, authorities.
