Global people on our ever-shrinking planet need new metaphors about who we are and how we envision the future. The concept of GPS cities that explore the meaning of a number and space does just that. By doing so, it opens new avenues to understand ourselves, this world and our universe. As a people, we need to begin to grasp the importance of what is known as "the quantitative-qualitative divide." Let's introduce the concept of GPS Parkways (and, of course, if it all gets traction, a high-speed train along a robust highway) that connects all the proposed locations in Russia all the way down to 36/36 in Turkey. It would pick back up at the 31/31 in Egypt and go all the way down to the 6/6 in Nigeria. Two other highways could be considered for the other two quadrants where there are 29 additional sites. All of these locations, 90 sites, could be developed using the guidelines of UNESCO so they might someday qualify to be designated
World Heritage sites.
