Epcot - Walt Disney's Questionable Dream City That Was Never Built | Ep 104

Walt Disney had an issue with the way cities were built in his day. He spent much of his adult life in Los Angeles, notorious for traffic and dangerous corridors. Disney believed he had all the answers, and after the success of Disney land, he began formulating a plan for a new city. Eventually, Epcot would become the project's name, which stood for the Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow. This city was romantic, to say the least. If Walt had succeeded, it would've been one of the most incredible places on earth. However, many critics point to the glaring flaws with the strategy. The argument is moot, though. The city of Epcot never saw the light of day. After Disney's untimely death, his brother Roy took the reigns of the project and converted it to a larger iteration of the prosperous Disney land.

The modern version of Epcot City would have people living in solar powered vans and prefabricated fiberglass plastic Futuro homes and Hexacube homes.

R.l.P: Epcot City.

[@donovandelaney3171]

Epcot City was meant to be the new Atlantis and she being cancelled doesn't mean that the concept of Epcot City is lost forever. Epcot City will likely still get built someday. She would work now a days.

[@donovandelaney3171]

There's a parallel universe where Epcot City was built. Epcot City could still happen.
