 Huge Savings for Victory City
The cost of operating a Victory City is estimated to be about 1/10th the cost of operating a traditional, modern-day city. For a comprehensive breakdown of municipal operating costs for a Victory City compared to present-day cities, please see the Financial Comparisons page.
In addition, because of its compact and efficient design, a Victory City would accommodate a larger number of people in a smaller geographic area, with less waste and less overhead. This means that the Victory City plan would eliminate 95-100% of the following:
