Cultural-Business Strategy

World Island's strategy is simply s tated: To originate, implement, and

accountable manner.

World Island enterprises and activ ities have been selected according

to three criteria:

1. They f oster human relationships

2. They promote cultural exchange and understanding

3. They can be self -supporting

We fully expect that the ov erall ef f ect of these activ ities will be togalvanize growing world-wide interest in s ocially-conscious behavior.

peoples about one another and in the ways of social responsible

leadership.

In a global setting, World Is land will introduce the cultures of the world

to each other by providing a comprehensive opportunity f or all the

participating nations and states to interact in an equality of space and

This International Assembly will strongly promote world awareness

through an atmosphere that is ref reshing, revealing, exciting and

stimulating.

The World at a Crossroads in Time

Pathways to a new World

The new site will be developed and aptly renamed World Island. We

believ e that the metaphor of World Island applies not only to this

project, but also to the region where it is situated. This community of

Islands embraces all the peoples and nations of the world.

World Island will provide the basis of an extensive global marketing

campaign promoting all the rich resources of t he world. World Island will

act as a natural extension of the host nation, which is itself a constant

celebration of all the cultures of the world.

Our further purpose, theref ore, is to encourage and focus New Yorks

extraordinary assets toward increased participation and st rengthening

of its leadership role in the global economy and world development.

Music will be one of t he major cornerstones of World Island. We

will establish a tribute to the music of the world by creating an

entertainment and education complex comprised of entertainment

and educational v enues honoring music as a common t hread that

has been binding humankind together from our v ery beginning.

Music has elev ated the people of the world and has been an

essent ial unifier of gender, age, color, religion and culture. Through

music we hav e overcome the manifold obstacles of prejudice. It is

our best hope for peace.

Music is central to World Islands mission. Harmony H all will

present the world of music and dance through a series of

interact iv e exhibits which will allow people to pick any area on the

globe and listen to and see music and dance performances f rom

that area.

People can explore connections between musical sty les in

diff erent times and places, and so learn how music and developed

and spread from one people to another. Other exhibits will present

the worlds musical instruments and demonstrate the psy chology

of music and the brain.

An Ins titute f or Music, Mind and Body will serv e as a world-wide

clearing house f or research on music in education and music

therapy. The institute will sponsor conf erences and workshops and will

also conduct research in s elected areas.

Recent brain research shows that, perhaps more than any other

activ ity , music activ ates circuits throughout the brain, coupling them

together in a neural dance uniting emotion and rationality , indiv iduality

and group awareness and activ ity . Historically , music has flowed

between cultures and society more freely than any other aspect of

cultural, excepting perhaps, trade goods. Thus, not only will World

Island f eature musical performances f rom around the world, but it will

explore music in others.

In-Sy nchwill provide workshops and classes where people can learn

basic music skills, such as a capella singing, drumming, and dance

f rom cultures the world ov er. Some of these workshops will be

directed at parents and their pre-school children, older children, and f or

adults. Special programs will be devoted to the use of m usic in team-

building and culture-change exercises geared corporate and

government organizations.

While the future of our World may rest in the hands of sc ience and

technology , its course will be charted by the y outh of today and

tomorrow. Educating youth, enriching youth, empowering youth and

preparing youth f or the challenges of tomorrow comprise a main

mission of World Island.

Education is the cornerstone of any persons dev elopment.World

Island will be a prime educational tool f or the y outh of the host

country and the world. The knowledge and wisdom we place in their

hands will determine the destiny of humankind.

From this perspectiv e, the highest and best use of World Island lies

in the Future. Through the promotion of todays and tomorrows

opportunities we will f orm a World Community and establish a training

ground for the y outh of today . World Island can play an instrumental

role in nurturing the fut ure we will pass on to our y outh.

World Islands role will be in the consolidation and presentation of

todays cutting edge technologies f rom around the World. The Island

is ideally suited f or demonstrating the potentials of the Future. In this

interest, the Future will include ongoing indoor and outdoor exhibits of

agricultural,alternative energy, env ironmental and ecological sy stems.

Combined with the introduction of a host of other new scientific

advances and the latest technology, this f ormat will be vitally

important in our f ight against all planetary disorders and preserv ing

the natural resources and Quality of Life on Earth.

leaders of tomorrow, the World High School will utilize the resources

of participating nations to dev elop an International student body

whose central education will be f ocused on global issues and public

serv ice. World Is lands non-political environment will become a

breeding ground f or fut ure leaders. The World High Schools

educational philosophy will be guided by three critical questions.

What does it mean to be an educated leader in the 21st century ?

What skills will be necessary t o surv ive and flourish in the 21st

century?

What does it mean to be a part of t he human family in an

increasingly complex, combative, competitive and computerized

world?

In addition to a st imulating intellectual life, t eachers and students will

share the social responsibilities of living together in a community

where diversity will be not only respected but celebrated. The school

will be a model for s imilar schools around the World. Students will

graduate with the ability to translate their knowledge into positiv e

action when they return to their home country.

The rich relationships created at the World High School will form the

basis of v aluable f riendships and a global alumni network. The role

models of the f uture will begin molding career paths in a nurturing

leadership environment.

telecommunications inf rastructure for access to educational

resources across national and cultural boundaries f or global peace.

GUS aims to c reate a worldwide consortium of universities t o provide

all world citizens with spec ial emphasis on the underdev eloped world

with access to 21st Century education v ia Internet technologies.

The GUS works in major regions of the globe with partnerships ofhigher education and healthcare institutions. Learners in these regions

will be able to take their courses f rom member institutions around the

world to receive a GUS degree. These learners and their prof essors

f rom partner institutions will also f orm a global f orum for exchange of

ideas and information and f or conducting collaborative research and

dev elopment with emerging global GRID computer network

technology. The aim is to achieve education and healthcare f or all,

anywhere, anytime and at any pace.

Pax Planetarium

Part of World Islands core mission is t o help people know their

world neighbors, where and how they liv e, their env ironment and

the ways it influences their lives. The Pax Planetarium is a

major attraction that does this.

Envision our world as y our holiday train set m agnified to cov er

the UN, gov ernments, NGOs, educational institutes, businesses, new

media and emergency serv ices worldwide.

By being located on World Island, ECO is centrally located to serve

the largest inf ormation and news centers in the world while hav ing theadditional security this location provides.

This is also st rategically located for inf ormation support f rom global

Universities. As IBM is committed to build the worlds f astest

computer f or Earth Simulations and Analy sis, this could possibly be

their demonstration center.

The importance of this proposal was shown recently when Japan

released their new NEC Earth Simulator Sys tem, the f astest

computer in the world. Japan has shown the importance nations are

placing on the need for this capacity and service.

We must v iew the Earth as a whole liv ing sys tem. With the reality of

global climate changes hav ing a serious environmental impact all over

the world, there is an essential need f or an Earth Syst ems

Management Center.

The Earth Center One (ECO) Earth Systems Management Center.

This f acility* which would have at its center a 100 ft globe providing a

real-time v iew of the Earth at any given moment anytime of day.

ECO will prov ide continuous monitoring of all Earth weather, oceancurrents, geophy sical activ ity , disaster analysis and related strategic

Economic Consideration

World Island Financial Overview

The World Dev elopment Endowment Foundation (WDEF) is proposing

a comprehensiv e urban planning approach that would enable

W ld I l d t l b d th d ti ll i it


118/131

World Island to alway s be open and, thus, dramatically increase its

v iability f or economic development.

A substantial am ount of resources will be directed to c reating a

sophisticated organizational structure with sy stems to manage

conservatively m ore than 40 million visitors annually while engaging

approximately 150,000 employees. Most importantly, a major portion

of the capital invest ment will be allocated to develop the corporate

culture and talent pool.

World Island Inc. will build, manage, and operate direct income

sources that will generate enormous cash f low and major profit

centers. They will include hotels, c onference centers, s hops,restaurants, entertainment centers, educational facilities, and other

allied assets.

Inspirall Inc., a not-for-prof it construction management team, is being

assembled to coordinate all aspects of development to ensure the

timely, high quality execution of the project.

Economic Considerations


119/131

World Island Financial Overview

World Islandcombines phase-In options for t he host nation. This

concept will be state of the art construction to m eet the specialized

requirements of World Island in keeping with its economic objectives.

The development options presently identified cov er a wide economic

spectrum, with the Phase-In approaches representing the long term

capital requirements and the highest potential rates of return. But in

considering any proposal, economic stability is only one of the key

considerations.

As a non-prof it cultural and educational center, W orld Is land will be in

a unique position to preserve develop areas of f inancial support that

would not be available to commercial ventures. Rev enues deriv ed

f rom all its participants will be utilized to maintain the complex while

providing the full array of immeasurable, v aluable cultural and

academic resources as outlined in the preceding overview.

Under the approach outlined, and through the combined use of not-for-

profit st ructures, World Island can provide the sound financial base

that is necessary to assure successf ul operation.

The dev elopment will take place on a parcel donated to the WDEF, a

not-for-profit entity , under terms that preserv es the host nations

economic interests.

Our Proposal gives us the ability to procure a f ormidable assemblage

of anchor tenants, including f oreign nations, national and international

corporate participants and a variety of commercial interests.

Additional subs tantial rev enues will be generated through t he operation

of public f acilities, the of f ice tower, conference and conv ention

center, world class hotel accommodations, the restaurants, and a

diverse array of retail and business related enterprises.

The economic potential that can be realized with an Island that is

always open and welcomes ov er 40 million visitors a y ear will create

the revenue necessary to assure the Islands economic v iability .

What is the meaning of culture?

The word culture is derived from cult

and ur. Cult means cultivation. Ur

is an ancient Chaldean term meaning

light the creative aspect of the

universe. Hence, culture is literally the

cultivation of creativity.

There is nothing higher than creativeness,

and there is no greater joy. Therefore

create and rejoice! Be daring in creative

flight. Create courageously! Let thought

undistorted and unrestricted be impressed

in your being. Let it be free from the

shadow of the censors scalpel. Be true to

yourself because there is nothing higher

than creativeness.

Thank You,

With Appreciation

The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by

the present, but a place that is created, created in mind and will, created

next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we

are creating. The paths to it are not found but made, and the activity of

making them change both the makers and the destination.
