The Victory City, the city of the future?

In this days there are a lot of cities that are failing in many areas, such as the transport system, the unstoppable growth of the city, the health system, etc. In our city, Santiago, Chile, we can see all of these problems, and the hardest thing is that they are very difficult to resolve.
The Victory City is supposedly a city of the future, but if you think about it, is conceived like an old city, not that big and whit big walls, almost for protection, from what? We don’t know. Besides that, the biggest problem is that the city is thought as a machine, a big factory, it even was an owner, and not as an organic element that evolves during time. It would be ideal too have a city that is contain in a space, but is rely difficult to do so, in stead it must be planed from the start as an element that can an will change, and to be prepared for this changes is the biggest challenge.
