CITY OF THE FUTURE

my views are heavily influenced by science fiction, dystopia and cyberpunk ideas

and therefore may not sound very optimistic

1.CITIES TODAY

SYDNEY

MOSCOW

MADRID

SINGAPORE

these cities are different with one of a kind architecture, unique population and culture

but there is one important aspect, that is the same: air

air gives us the feeling of freedom visit the nearest park and make a deep breath raise your head and youll always see the sky

2. CHANGES

nowadays humanity is facing many threats

population is growing rapidly

global warming melts the ice and water takes away land

mankind is polluting wast territories, making them uninhabitable

pretty encouraging, isn't it? here are just two examples of what

humanity already achieved

HONG KONG

TOKYO

raise your head and youll see nothing street noise follows you everywhere

fresh air is a dream living becomes a challenge

3. FUTURE

future technology level will allow humankind to build overpopulated cities a second floor: horizontal wall between two worlds

lower cityshelter for the working class

nightlife heaven with threatening crime rates no sunbeam for years

atmosphere tastes like sewers

upper citybasically, a blend of Manhattan and Silicon Valley,

example of perfect balance between nature and human all flavoured with the latest technologies

striking difference what is it?

a return to medieval estates order?

here is how complete city looks like

complete city looks like that

beautiful outside full of human vice inside

4. NOT SO APPEALING?

to prevent this worst case scenario we should follow a few simple steps

respect nature develop eco-consciousness since school compensate the damage to environment

develop negative attitude to consumerism concept (hard one) encourage companies to invest in sustainable development

these steps will probably help to preserve the nature and therefore bypass the need of the citys second floor

because, seriously, who would like to live in a city like that?
