Establishments such as parks with playgrounds, community centers, and churches would be located here. Beyond the Green Belt was the low-density, single-family house neighborhoods. These areas would have resembled the petals on a flower, with the houses located on the rim of each "petal". Inside the "petal" was a vast green area.
The area would have had paths for electric carts, light recreation areas for adults and play areas for children. The PeopleMover station for each area would have also been located in the green area. The resident could simply walk to the station from their home and on to work.
As stated before, residents would not really need a car to get around. Like the apartments, the houses would be built to be easily changed.
As stated above, no one living in EPCOT would own their own land or home, thereby having no municipal voting rights bond issues, etc. Walt Disney wanted to exercise this control only to be able to change technology in the homes easily. According to the film, everybody living in EPCOT would be employed, thereby preventing the formation of slums and ghettos. There would be no retirees, everyone would have had a job. And, as the film states, "everyone living in EPCOT will have the responsibility to maintain this living blueprint of the future".
Walt Disney died on December 15 , Even when he was dying from lung cancer, his brother, Roy Disney , stated that Walt was still planning his city in the hospital. Walt was using the ceiling to imagine his city, planning excitedly.
After Walt's passing, the company directors decided that it was too risky to venture into city planning now that its biggest advocate was gone. But Roy persisted and took the reins on the project, stepping out of retirement to do it.
But, he did pull ahead with the Magic Kingdom project. Roy insisted it be called Walt Disney World as a tribute to the man who dreamed it up.
Because of the formation of the RCID, Disney could find innovative solutions to the problems of transportation, building construction, waste disposal, and supplying electrical power. Imagineers, including Disney Legends John Hench and Richard Irvine, devised ingenious means of waste disposal and sewer transport. The monorail, while mainly an attraction at Disneyland, was utilized as an actual transportation system, taking guests some thirteen miles around the Resort area.
But the board was still wary and all agreed that Walt's EPCOT still could not work in its initial incarnation; they thought that no one would want to live under a microscope and be watched constantly. While still emulating Walt Disney's ideas, it was not a city, but rather closer to that of a World's Fair.
But it did, and still does, revolve around technology and the future in the Future World area. The World Showcase is an embellished version of the downtown shopping area, albeit without the enclosure. In the early s, the Walt Disney Company built an actual community on the Florida property called Celebration. It is a planned community that employs some of the ideas that Walt Disney envisioned, but on a slightly smaller scale.
Celebration is designed based on new urbanism, and resembles a small American town, but has all the modern conveniences, without the revolutionary transportation ideas contained in the plans for EPCOT.
Epcot is mentioned in the first two books and is a location in the third and fourth books in the Kingdom Keepers saga. In Disney At Dawn, it is mentioned that Finn visited Epcot to look for clues at the Seas with Nemo and Friends when they are looking for sea-related places.
Epcot is the main setting in the third book of the series, Disney in Shadow. The Keepers search for Wayne, who is being held somewhere in Epcot. The book's finale takes place in the IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth floats. In the fourth book, Power Play, Epcot is also an important location. The original batch of logos through the debut of The Living Seas were designed by graphic designer Norm Inouye, with the practice largely being retired after Wonders of Life opened.
As part of the park's overhaul, the tradition of Pavilion Icons were brought back, with the park's new attractions as well as attractions that never received them gaining their own.

May EPCOT Center entertain, inform and inspire and above all, may it instill a new sense of belief and pride in man's ability to shape a world that offers hope to people everywhere in the world. Disney achieved this authenticity element by staffing each pavilion with citizens from their country.
Cultural representatives have the opportunity to meet participants from around the world which exemplifies the basic mission of EPCOT. Representatives from countries such as Iran, Belgium, Mexico, and Italy were presented with the idea in an effort to convey the value of the cultural endeavor. Many countries supported the project and originally offered to help sponsor their country. Today, a large number of guests believe that the pavilions are still financed by their respective governments.
At this point, that notion is simply a Disney myth and not a factual one at that. Somewhere along the World Showcase development process, many foreign leaders distanced themselves from the venture and international business filled their spot. One government took Disney up on their offer and decided to fully fund its pavilion; this country was Morocco.
Morocco was added to the World Showcase in
