Possibly Robert Silverberg's _The World Inside_ (1970/1), which was
based on Paolo Soleri's arcology projects (see also
http://www.arcosanti.org ) (the original magazine serial pubication was
even accompanied by an article about Soleri ... Donald Wall's _Visionary
Cities: The Arcology of Paolo Soleri_ is highly recommended (and a
classic of book design in its own right)).

     When you can't give anything, you can also receive nothing. 
     Through giving, you also receive. You can never stop giving. 
     When you have nothing more to give, you're dead.
