SberCity
2024-08-23
I was flying Aeroflot recently, Russia's national airline. Advertised in the magazine is SberCity, just outside Moscow - Sber being the national bank, SberBank.
15-minute cities are where you don't need to go far for anything. That in itself is not an issue (unless carbon taxed for leaving!) Soviet planning was actually done in a similar way.
However, it's the fully smart homes and smart street technologies that raise an eyebrow. If everything is "smart," the amount of personal data being collected is beyond comprehension and there are~currently no legal ramifications for it.
In a country like Russia, where unoccupied land is almost a dime a dozen, do some people actually hate freedom? And with your bank owning your city, what could go wrong??
It's not so "smart" if your power is turned off for Telegram ramblings.
