Dangarapolis Mega
The Future of My City
August 2025
— A few words about my city won’t hurt an entire website dedicated to me and my life. Dangara is the place of the people who established peace across the country. We are a community of peacemakers dedicated to a purpose we established long ago. The city is small, but the ambitions of its people are enormous and even transcend the boundaries of typical cities of the future. That’s why I’m going to tell you a little more about the city’s history, its current situation, and the future it holds for generations to come.

Definition of Dangara City
The formal definition that people often seek tends to be a simple true-or-false narrative that you memorize. For example, the scientific definition of water is precise in chemistry, but when you are dying of dehydration, that definition takes on an entirely different meaning. If I were to define my city, it would be something like this: Dangara City is a Persian piece of land, once ruled by our king Ismail Samani, and scorched by the relentless Yellow Sun. Often called "The City of Dust and the Yellow Sun," it reflects the harshness of the summer. Though the city has minimal infrastructure, it holds immense potential in many areas — potential that can only be realized through decisive action.
Dangarapolis Mega is my vision for the future, brought to life through D.O.O.M.—a name I’ve crafted to symbolize the bold transformation I will create for this city. What I plan to achieve will radically change Dangarapolis, attracting people from all over the world to call it home. This vision is the embodiment of my deepest ambition, and I am prepared to sacrifice everything for the city that has nurtured me for these past 22 years. I swear by God, only death itself can stand in my way. The city will feel the profound impact of my decisions.
I want the people of the 22nd and 23rd centuries to look upon Dangarapolis Mega and remember my name, saying, “There was a man, long ago in Dangara, who transformed this city and claimed it for a better future.” This vision drives me, and this is the legacy I crave. The purpose I carry will touch the lives of millions and shape generations to come.
Approach
The Entrance to Dangara, City of Peacemakers
When Joe Rogan and Neil deGrasse Tyson were discussing humanity’s greatest achievements, Neil clearly stated that the only true breakthrough we made was making information much more affordable. This raises the question: how did we make information cheap and accessible to people? By establishing effective means of communication—the Internet. This is where Dangara faces some challenges. D.O.O.M. will take responsibility for satellites, artificial intelligence, and internet speed. I want to provide all of these to the city completely free of charge. But before I dive into that, I need to share the story behind the internet connection in Dangara City.
Back in 2015, having internet on a simple SIM card was considered a luxury—you needed enough money to afford it. At that time, DVDs, discs, and TVs were as common as hotdogs; everyone bought them. But here’s the thing: no one ever thought about Wi-Fi routers. Why? Because that was a next-level technology for most people. Ten years later, the situation has changed drastically. The number of people buying DVDs, discs, and TVs has dropped tenfold, and merchants faced a problem. Why? Because YouTube arrived from the West. The internet connection was good, but still not enough. By 2025, Dangarians faced a new challenge: the building responsible for providing strong internet connectivity—equipped with communication plates—was completely demolished and is now being rebuilt. This simple disruption led people to buy their own communication plates, purchase enough routers, and start using home Wi-Fi networks. Do you see the progress? It looks promising, right? More connectivity, more inclusion, and cheaper access to information.
Process
As we’ve discussed, the foundation for any city’s future lies in making information as accessible as possible, and that is where I plan to bring real change by 2028. For Dangara, we need to establish a dedicated communication hub—a site where hundreds of communication plates are installed to ensure seamless connectivity. Installing them on top of buildings is not a sustainable approach, since buildings can be rebuilt or demolished, forcing us to redo the work. Instead, we need a purpose-built hub, a secured piece of land devoted entirely to delivering the fastest communication signals possible. At the same time, D.O.O.M. must launch satellites into Earth’s orbit to capture these signals and connect Dangara—not just to the rest of the country, but to the entire world—providing some of the fastest communication channels ever built. However, a single hub will not be enough, so to secure resilience and coverage, we need three to six strategically distributed hubs across Dangara City. This is the first step toward shaping Dangara into a city of the future.
When communication speed reaches its highest level, information will become the most affordable resource for every Dangarian—and this is only the beginning. With ultra-fast internet provided by D.O.O.M., people will realize they can do anything at the speed of thought, driving them to analyze, learn, and explore the world around them. As information in Dangara City becomes the cheapest in the world, its impact will be felt everywhere—schools, universities, government bodies, and beyond. However, the energy required to power these hubs will be enormous, which is why we must harness the generosity of Dangara’s Yellow Sun through vast solar panels capable not only of sustaining operations but also of storing energy as backup in case other power sources fail. These solar panels will serve a dual purpose: ensuring energy resilience in times of disaster and acting as the communication pillars that deliver the fastest internet in the world to the people.
In Dangara, three things will define its future: 1) the communication ground – the fastest Internet in the world; 2) the Yellow Sun – the climate, since it affects the way Dangarians behave; 3) the people themselves, who will invest in this city rather than avoid it – there must be someone sacrificing their entire fortune for future generations, as people will impact the infrastructure, and infrastructure itself is nothing without the person behind it.
Final Destination
Let’s agree that the Sun itself is the same everywhere; what changes is how its effects are experienced depending on location. When I say, ironically, the “Yellow Sun,” I mean that the intensity of Dangara’s heat is extreme. One of the primary effects of this heat is that it can increase irritability and stress. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures affects cognitive performance and can make it harder to concentrate or absorb information effectively. You could provide people with the fastest communication networks, but if the climate is oppressive, their ability to use them efficiently is diminished. This is part of why Dangarians can appear a little more on edge at times. To address this challenge, D.O.O.M. aims to actively manage the environment. By 2030, it plans to leverage technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud seeding, drones, and controlled atmospheric interventions to moderate the climate. Imagine rockets dispersing targeted aerosols to stimulate rainfall or cool the air, potentially reducing peak temperatures by up to 30%. While controlling weather is complex and must be done carefully to avoid unintended consequences, it’s exciting to envision a future where we can mitigate extreme heat and make the environment more comfortable and productive. This system is planned to be used only for three months each year, with the possibility of including spring if temperatures are hotter than usual, making the total duration up to four or five months.
What I am trying to say is that when God created everything around us, in some cases, He gave us the choice to change it. When you see a creation of God untouched by humans, it does not mean it will remain that way forever. Of course, God is the same God who can do anything miraculously if you ask Him, but the truth is that He has already given us all the “magic” we need—our brains and the fact that we live in the golden century, the 21st century. Isn’t it beautiful that we can even control the weather? The true power of humanity lies in the ability to replicate, in the smallest measure, the powers of God—without offending Him. That is where even God may be amazed at our audacity, but the essential point is not to cross the line, for humans are still the weakest of all creations. When people say that controlling the weather is only a matter of money, I disagree. They argue that only the rich can do this, citing examples like Saudi Arabia and Dubai. But in reality, it is not about money—it is about the will to bring change. To change the weather, wealth is not what matters most; what truly matters is the mindset.
The Land of Ajam
''The success of every city depends on two things: the ability of its citizens to communicate quickly and the quality of its weather. Entire nomadic nations once changed their locations simply because the climate no longer suited them. If we can provide the people of Dangara with these two essentials, building infrastructure will be as simple as two times two. People thrive when they can communicate through fast, reliable channels and when they feel comfortable in their environment without being irritated by the weather. These are the most fundamental foundations. And since I feel a deep responsibility for my small city, I am determined to make it great. Every city needs a visionary—someone bold enough to dream beyond the ordinary—otherwise, it is doomed to remain in obscurity. For Dangara, that visionary is me.'' — Eraj Alisherov, The Patriot
Infrastructure
And here we are with the infrastructure of Dangara. When it comes to adapting to the environment, we need to consider many factors. One simple principle from physics plays a vital role: the color of buildings. As we learn in school physics, light-colored surfaces (such as white) reflect most of the incoming sunlight, while dark-colored surfaces (such as black) absorb most of it. The closer a color is to black, the more solar radiation it absorbs, leading to higher surface and surrounding air temperatures. The closer a color is to white, the more it reflects solar radiation, which helps reduce heat buildup and makes the environment feel cooler.

Another crucial aspect of urban planning is the strategic placement of tall buildings. Positioning them on the northern and southern sides of a city can create shade for central areas, reducing direct solar exposure during the hottest hours of the day. This principle highlights that effective infrastructure is not determined solely by the height or size of structures but by their orientation and relationship to the environment. Proper placement of buildings can significantly lower heat accumulation, improve pedestrian comfort, and decrease energy consumption for cooling. Beyond building orientation, several other strategies can enhance a city’s resilience to heat. Green roofs and reflective materials help reduce the urban heat island effect, while tree-lined streets and green corridors provide both shade and natural cooling. Ventilation corridors aligned with prevailing winds improve air circulation, and water features such as fountains or canals offer evaporative cooling. At the same time, the use of materials with suitable thermal properties and thoughtful color choices in urban design contribute to both temperature regulation and psychological well-being. Together, these approaches form the foundation for sustainable and livable city infrastructure.
In general, this article has touched on many of the points I believe are essential to address. Dangarapolis Mega is my vision of the future, and I know that visionaries are often the ones who get mocked the most. The reason is simple: many people are trapped in daily struggles and cannot imagine a different reality for their city or its future. Yet, it is the responsibility of every Dangarian to think ahead and contribute, because apart from us, no one else will do it for Tajiks. While the quality of life in Tajikistan is improving year by year, progress alone is not enough. For any city—whether in Tajikistan or elsewhere—sometimes just one visionary can ignite change. My dream is for Dangarapolis Mega to become a home for millions of people from around the world, a city others would aspire to live in because of the collective contributions and dedication of its people. Responsibility for a city’s future begins with the sense of ownership; once citizens truly feel that the city belongs to them, the will to protect, improve, and grow it naturally follows. The path toward such a future is not straightforward, and obstacles will inevitably appear. But I see those obstacles as opportunities in disguise—challenges that force us to innovate, to plan smarter, and to build stronger. For Dangarapolis Mega, this means focusing on sustainability, modern infrastructure, and community-driven development, where citizens play an active role in shaping the city. It means designing urban spaces that are not only technologically advanced but also deeply human, prioritizing livability, inclusiveness, and resilience. Every great city in history was built not just by planners or leaders, but by people who believed in its future. That is why I am here: to spark that belief, to plant the seed of ownership, and to inspire others to see that the future of Dangara—and Tajikistan as a whole—depends on our shared responsibility to dream, build, and persevere.
