“…The marine city is a proposal to build the world of tomorrow. (…) (It) is not simply an attempt to expand the land. It is also clearly not an idea to escape from the land. As for escape, the planning is too great, and as expanding the land, the concentration of composite technical and economic power is too great. The sea will likely continue to reject unplanned and disorderly projects. It is reclamation which desecrates this love of cleanliness of the sea. That the condition for the establishment of a superior society cannot be brought about by reclamation is clear from the relation between man and land. It may be said that technology will lose its meaning unless man’s power is concentrated deliberately and coordinately. Techniques for colossal construction cannot bear to be used and must not be allowed to be used for destructive confusion in the name of construction.”
