Ecosystem
Phase one: Virtualisation
Serving
New Generations
The Kingdom of Meritlands (Meritlands) ecosystem includes the essentials of a hybrid concept and serves as a blueprint to accumulate and mobilise resources and run diversified operations and businesses. Meritlands primarily aims at an emerging market that will shape future social patterns and affects global supply, demand, and economic activities.
CREATING A NEW ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM
MONETISING
NEW
TECHNOLOGIES
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Due to limited resources, developers of disruptive and innovative products and services find themselves in the dilemma of how to face dominant corporates such as Amazon, Netflix, Meta, Apple, Tesla, Microsoft, Disney, and Google. In contrast, big corporates adopt, transform, and repetitively acquire key entities to maintain dominance. Thus, Meritlands is programmed to resolve this issue by securing and creating markets for unique products and services and safeguarding stakeholders’ interests.
A DYNAMIC
CONCEPT
Meritlands ecosystem is a dynamic concept, not a conventional product or service. The mindset behind Meritlands is creating a global holistic brand, facilitating the adoption of futuristic and advanced products and services, and reducing switching costs for customers and barriers for new entities to introduce products and services.
A FEAMEWORK
Meritlands Ecosystem is a futuristic concept and framework comprising diversified businesses and operations designed to be built in four phases and intended for accumulating and mobilising resources and monetising new technologies.

Meritlands Ecosystem: An Introduction to Futuristic Cities
HUMAN CIVILISATION AND FUTURISTIC URBANISM
Archaic humans and other living species became extinct despite their minimal environmental impacts,
Urbanisation is an essential costly activity demanding careful consideration and valuable renewable and non-renewable resources considering several unsuccessful attempts and hasty conclusions versus better solutions.
The cause of the sudden demise of ancient societies was neither industrial pollution nor tampering with the environment. Hence, slowing down the pace of Earth’s natural resource usage and bringing environmental degradation under control is a time-limited opportunity rather than a long-term solution. Additionally, managing human and natural resources demands shifting our primary attention from the environment to human civilisation’s longevity, which includes protecting the environment and rationally natural resource exploitation, including non-renewable resources such as water (with no alternative). It helps humankind gain a foothold in a safe and resourceful habitable environment(s) or find a better long-term solution. Furthermore, we must adopt and adapt technology to confront unavoidable challenges that industries and societies face on an unreliable planet (Earth) in an unpredictable environment.
One major step is decreasing ancient-style activities such as building traditional infrastructure, shelters, and society formation and hyper-dependency on Earth.
Sir Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928) described a utopian city where residents live in harmony with nature. As an urban planner, he was the founder of the garden city movement, which inspired many housing development ventures in the UK around the first world war.
Arturo Soria y Mata (1844-1920) was also a town planner. He first introduced the concept of a linear city in Spain.
He aimed to rationalise urbanisation and a calculated expansion to connect cities rationally.
He planned a long central boulevard from Peking to Brussels, surrounded by woodland on either side. He began buying land on Madrid’s outskirts to test his concept. But land values arose as a significant barrier, and the city’s expansion gradually became unviable.
Today's technological advances, commercialisation of discoveries and inventions and environmental challenges are driving forces behind radical changes in urbanisation. However, digital artists and futuristic architects employed by ambitious individuals and cash-rich institutions are trending Hollywood theme smart cities while we must prioritise resource management and human civilisation.
Consequently, the hasty conclusion may overshadow the feasibility due to ignoring the main issues and avoiding better solutions to catastrophic events caused by human activities and nature, such as conflicts over resources, environmental degradation and sudden environmental changes.
Consequently, urban planners play a critical role in managing resources and technology adoption.
Arturo Soria and Other urban planners and architects, such as Mikhail Okhitovich and Le Corbusier’s proposals, were inspired by convenience, aesthetics, mobility, dis urbanism and colonial ambition. Their failures highlights the end of the early versions of futuristic cities.
Meritlands ecosystem is programmed to promote a collective action to manage resources and offer better solutions.
It serves as a framework to create a like-minded society and mobilise resources and ultimately build futuristic cities based on longevity of human civilisation
