Talk:Walking city

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An entry from Walking city appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 6 June 2006.

Adjustment made to pic caption -- while the example of modern aircraft carriers as a current manifestation of walking cities is relevant and wise to include, it would seem that these craft represent more of an intermediary stage, as they are (currently) very dependent on traditional nation-states for survival, manufacture and maintenance. Hence the change from "closely" to "loosely" in the caption. The observation that they fulfill many of the requirements of a "walking city" is certainly notable, so kudos to the original author on that account. It is important to remain honest about their limitations in the present. Until more self-sufficiency for the vehicles is obtained, however, we should resist the temptation to call 'em "closely" related to the walking city concept.
