Description

A. Usage of Grant: The grant will be used for the development of scenes and experience. B. The New Babylon City Prototype Size: about 30 parcels (Sponsored by Republic Realm) For more information, please visit: https://metalivestudio.com/new-babylon C. Problem Statement: What are the challenges for Decentraland CIties and Districts? 1. City Planning is Toooooo Traditional for Metaverse Most of the city projects in Decentraland are similar to real life, which is extremely “wired“ from our perspectives. On the one hand, most of the current planning practice ideas did not echo the culture of Metaverse. On the other hand, most city planning did not echo metaverse characteristics, including no-gravity, infinity light, and programming integration. 2. Virtual Cities are Difficult to maintain vitality The vitality of the city needs user traffic. And the traffic of the city relies on the projects and activities inside. However, the current activities are too decentralized that make city hard to concentrate their users. It is very easy to see big cities with cool structures but have no constant user. 3. User-unfriendly in Short Distance travel Teleport functions make traditional long-distance vehicles meaningless, but people need to walk more enjoyable and efficiently in a short distance. We found out that only less than one per cent of people would use teleport within 8 parcels distance. And there is a lack of infrastructure that enable people to move faster and have more fun.

Our Vision: “Create a fancy, walking-friendly and vivid city in Decentraland - The New Babylon” For more information, please visit: https://metalivestudio.com/new-babylon

**Meta City Update #1 :** * We have changed the name from Meta Babylon City to Meta City, as it will represent the first metaverse-style city, so we want to show more inclusiveness in the name. * We have added more content to the city and update the website (renderings).
