Grand Phoenix Heights

After the park proved hugely successful, there was a greater desire to move to the location from many within the United States. Lincoln capitalized on these desires. He offered the future inhabitants of the city various appealing incentives to move there and either open up businesses or build homes. One major incentive was the offering of cheap land, allowing people to purchase land for significantly cheap prices. This brought a significant number of people to the area. Upon the land they were allowed to built homes and businesses, for which they had the responsibility and control of.

Despite never making back the money he spent on the purchase through the sale of considerable portions of the land, Lincoln not only managed to retrieve a large percentage of the money he originally spent but also achieved his desire of bringing people to the location.

The area was intended to be not only large in size, but also to possess as little automobiles on the road a possible, an idea Lincoln had taken from various bike-towns and cities around the world. To this day, the only motorized vehicles allowed on the streets are those designated for public transport, emergency and service. Most transport is electric, with a few exceptions. As for personal vehicles, the cities inhabitants are allowed any form of human-powered land vehicle, but must use them only on designated portions of road and pavement. The same goes for electric-powered vehicles.

Nature plays a considerable part in the cities appearance and has done so since the beginning. Lincoln's intention was and still is to develop a city with a considerable amount of vegetation and water works. This has been achieved through establishing within the city various parks, garden beds, potted plants and trees, water fountains, streams, etc. This was done to minimize the appearance and feel of what has been described by Lincoln as "a jungle of concrete and steel".

All individuals building homes and businesses within the city are required to install in their properties various energy, water and waste saving/recycling devices and systems.
