17. Proposed Process for Metaverse Land Acquisition and City Creation

• 17.1 Initial Land Allocation & Zoning:

  • i. Equal Land Distribution: The metaverse land will be divided into five equal sections. Each city will receive an equal amount of land to avoid future conflicts and ensure equitable opportunities for growth.

  • ii. Buffer Zones: Between each city, designate buffer zones for shared infrastructure like cross-city roads, intercity transport, and shared utilities. These buffer zones will be neutral and overseen by the BichonDefender DAO.

  • iii. Expansion Zones: Each city will also have allocated expansion zones that can be developed over time as the city grows. These will be outlined in the initial zoning plan to ensure smooth, scalable growth.

• 17.2 Zoning Regulations

  • i. Urban Planning Framework: Each city will be given guidelines for city layout, including minimum requirements for roads, sewer systems, electricity grids, and other key infrastructure. However, beyond these essential infrastructure guidelines, cities will have the autonomy to design their layout and aesthetic freely.

  • ii. Public Utility Infrastructure: BichonDefender will outline areas that need to be reserved for shared services (roads, utilities, public transport, etc.), which cities must adhere to. This ensures functionality and prevents overlapping or chaotic expansion in the metaverse

• 17.3 Committee Formation and Governance

  • i. Land Zoning Committee: Establish an independent Metaverse Zoning Committee that will oversee the land allocation and zoning decisions. This committee will ensure each city has fair access to necessary resources and that the land division is equitable. This committee will also manage initial planning to ensure enough space for future expansion.

  • ii. Initial Committee Size: Recommended: 7-9 members for balanced decision-making. The committee will consist of:

    • 2 representatives from BichonDefender DAO (one focused on governance, one on infrastructure)

    • 1 representative from each city (5 total), elected by the initial community members or founding team of each city.

    • 1 urban planning and metaverse expert to ensure scalability and balance.

  • iii. Committee Responsibilities:

    • Finalize the initial zoning and land allocation.

    • Ensure each city’s infrastructure (roads, utilities, etc.) follows standard guidelines but allows for flexibility in design.

    • Approve expansion requests and facilitate changes to zoning if needed.

  • 17.4 Autonomy for City Design

    • i. City Planning Teams: Each city will be encouraged to form its own city planning team, which will collaborate with the zoning committee to finalize the design. These teams can decide the look, feel, and culture of the city while adhering to the overall infrastructure guidelines set by the Metaverse Zoning Committee.

    • ii. City Design Freedom: While each city will be required to adhere to the essential zoning (for utilities, roads, etc.), they will be given total freedom for the art architectural design, layout, aesthetic, and community vision. This allows for diversity and identity within each city, making them unique yet interconnected.

  • 17.5 Land Expansion Planning and Scalability

    • i. Growth Plans: Cities should provide a long-term plan for expansion. This will be reviewed periodically by the Zoning Committee to ensure enough space is reserved for future growth and that cities do not expand beyond their zoned areas.

    • ii. Shared Infrastructure Growth: Cities must also contribute to the development and maintenance of shared infrastructure like roads, utilities, and cross-city connections. This could be governed by an intercity task force.

  • 17.6 Governance and Dispute Resolution

    • i. City Councils: Each city will have its DAO or city council that governs the internal workings of the city, including land development, building regulations, and economic growth.

    • ii. Intercity Dispute Resolution: Should any disputes arise regarding zoning, land expansion, or shared infrastructure, the Zoning Committee will act as the mediator to ensure fair outcomes. BichonDefender DAO will hold the final say on any overarching metaverse governance decisions.

  • 17.7 Conclusion: This process will ensure an equitable, organized, and scalable development of the BichonDefender Metaverse. The land zoning committee will ensure fairness, the city councils will have the autonomy they need to express their community’s vision, and the metaverse itself will be designed to allow for seamless expansion and growth.
