	Inventing the "Jet Age" in America
		Disney's experimental EPCOT community attempted to be the city of the future by first providing a controlled climate, second by incorporating many of the garden city concepts, and thirdly by creating a transportation system that brought people back as pedestrians.
		As with most planned communities of the time such as Levittown and the Greenbelt Programs, the community members would be selected in order to form the most ideal society as possible and isolate them from the dangers of traditional public life.
		The first was the concept of having a controlled climate for all citizens of the community, the second was the construction of a garden city, and the third and final was the creation of a transportation system that allowed community members to travel freely within the bounds of the community.

	Welcome to Waltopia!
		His development concept at the time of his death on December 15th, 1966 would be his team's conceptual response to the ills of the inner cities and the sprawl of the megalopolis: the "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow" or, as it became known, EPCOT.
