The Kilometer Diameter Pod Concept (KDP) is an attempt to quantify how much usable space there is in a pod 1 KM in diameter.
Statistics:
Diameter: 1 KM (1000 M)

Colony Ship - Mile Diameter Pod Concept
A pod with a diameter, for the sake of this entry it is supposed that the outside of the pod is not included in this diameter.

Diameter (usable): 1 mile, 5280 ft

Interstellar Travel - Colony Ship
A Colony Ship is a type of spaceship specifically designed to transport a large enough population of Humans to a far location and enable them to survive of their own accord.
Concepts
Pods
This design supposes a main framework that is the Colony Ship, with the ability to attach "pods" to the framework and connect them as needed. This would allow for the customization of the ship through time, and permit a greater range of functions depending on how many pods were brought.
A list of typical pods:
Living Quarters
Government
Agriculture
Medical
Food Service
Entertainment
Communications
Water
There are many other possibilities, and functions from pods might be interchangeable - so a Food Service pod might end up with some Entertainment units, or an Agricultural/Water Storage pod. The exact size of the pod would determine the ultimate customization level.
Large Pods
A large pod might have a diameter of a mile or more. This entry explores the possible composition of a mile diameter pod.

Colonization: Examine
After potential Colonies are discovered, it then falls to those who study the planets to determine if there is suitable terrain and atmosphere, amongst other guides, to establish the Colony.
Colonization: Find
Easier said than done. The concept of finding another planet to colonize has been with us for a long time. It appears in old mythology, old cultures, and in the modern day the fever runs rampant.
Find another Planet to Colonize.
The process of Finding objects should be defined now, as a universally agreed upon dictionary of rules involving the categorization, the naming, and the process of documenting every object in the Galaxy. Location, spin, drift, and every other known bit of information should be entered into a standardized, universally accessible database (group of databases).
Once a Planet has been Categorized, it must enter a stage of Examination to determine the use the planet will be to our Species, and what possible issues there will be.

Colonization
The process of Colonization is one that will grow and develop as technology improves what we can do and adds new dimensions to our capabilities later on.
Basic planning may be done, for although technology will enhance our abilities, the guiding principles should be discussed at great length by as great a many people as may. So each culture around the world should be encouraged to think of the Future, and how they would go about spreading their influence to the Stars.
Approaching the Task
In a great many ways, the process is simple. Search for a planet. Figure out if we can live there. Do what we have to to make it livable, if it is possible. Settle in.
