Two years ago, 35 miles southwest of Seoul, developer Stan Gale cut the ribbon on the world?s newest city?a man-made isthmus in the Yellow Sea named Songdo International Business District. In 2001, the chairman of New York-based Gale International had pledged to borrow $35 billion to build a city the size of downtown Boston, modeled on Paris, Venice, and Manhattan, complete with a 100-acre ?Central Park.? Songdo won?t be finished until at least 2016, but Gale isn?t waiting around. These days, he?s pitching China?s mayors on his city-in-a-box?a kit to build their own smart, green city of the future in as little as three years.
