Victory City

It seems like human kind has always wanted an utopian world. And here it is:

The plan is bring people a better life standard, environment conditions and avoid traffic congestion. How? With a fully regulated city. So I read the residential apartments and resident guidelines section. The system isn't really that different if you compare it with te actual one. They will have residencial buildings with flats and all the stuff. They are just improved: they can be cleaned really fast after the person living there leaves, so the new users can get them sooner.The trash dispossal changes a bit too and it will be eliminated "before ever it gets started". Sounds fine, huh. The great difference about the residential plan is the distribution. There will be two areas: the quiet and the regular ones. At the quiet areas, TV's, stereos and musical instruments are banned. There is a central tv and musci system, so everyone can listen to it from home. About transportation, there will be used elevators and mini electric cars, and traffic congestion will be avoided. 
Maybe it sounds nice or utopian, but I'm sure it wouldn't be really great. Since everything is controlled, there is no real freedom, and that's how i turns to a distopian city, something like Orwell's 1984, Huxley's A Brave New world or Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. Although people wouldn't complain when they are already in this city, if you told them before, they'll refuse, because free will is very important to human beings, and a perfect world should be reached by everyone collaboration and responsability, in a process that would take centuries or even more, with the people maturity.
