Gaia Foundation releases plans for “Sky Gardens” to replace The Banks Project Saturday, January 19, 2008

The Gaia Foundation has released early drawings of its plans for “Sky Gardens,” which it characterizes as an ecological alternative to the current plans for developing The Banks—Cincinnati’s prime river-front real estate. “This is an alternative to the current ugly and non-sustainable design on the Banks,” explained Molak. “I have been working on the details of the concept for the last 3 years...it combines the European hill town and Himalayan terraces for growing food.”
Here is a current vision of The Banks, as currently planned without the Gaia Foundation’s vision for long term ecological sustainability:

Here is the vision Molak has been working on for three years:

“The current BANK committee should be disbanded,” claims Molak, “since it does not represent interests of the Cincinnati citizens but only of corporate entities, which have been having direct financial interests in the Banks. Mr. Castellini must resign since having him on the committee is like having a fox watching a chicken coop.”
“First, he was the beneficiary of the land deal in which he got from taxpayers,” continues Molak. “Since he is the owner of the Reds, he has no business deciding what goes into the Banks, since this has a direct financial impact on him making millions off the Cincinnati people.”
