FERN

fern (n.) — fractal by nature: every leaflet a smaller frond, every frond joined at the root. The towns are the leaflets.

One pipe runs the town.

wind + hydro
Arctic-rated wind with battery smoothing is proven at Raglan and Diavik mines; grid hydro arrives where interties exist.
02 · the frond

Same kit, three sizes.

Every component is barge- or rail-deliverable and repeats: add a hall, add a commons, link the loop. Homes, gardens and the square live inside the glass; hardened pile-homes outside keep redundancy. Slide to scale.
