How the City of the Future Will Look
1. How do you envision
the city of the future?
By Darren Lee
2. How Will the City of the
Future Look Like?
How many of us have heard
about the "City of the Future",
how will it look like? How will it
be operated and governed? Will
the biomass be used in the city
for planting its walls, will the
humanity move to the new
inexhaustible source of energy,
or will continue to consume the
hydrocarbons polluting the
environment? How will citizens
live and will they really have to
pay for fresh air?

3. Half of the world's
population at the beginning
of XXI century live in cities,
and experts predict that in
the future the percentage of
urban population will only
grow. This means that in the
future the city will have to not
only solve numerous modern
urban problems (ranging
from traffic jams to the
environment), but also to
create favourable conditions
for existence.
In order to achieve these goals people require cutting-edge
technologies. In fact there are already many projects of the future
cities and some of them are already being implemented.

4. Projects of the Cities
of the Future
Architects, sociologists and writers have always dreamed of fiction futuristic city built on water, land or in space. So, here are the most incredible projects of the future
cities.
5. LILYPAD
A Green Villa in the Sea
This is a model of the island
that floats on water and is
designed to accommodate
people affected by climate
change. The city will use
renewable energy sources,
including solar, wind and
biomass to produce electricity.
In addition to zero-emission, the
complex will be able to absorb
carbon dioxide from the air
because of the green plants
that will be planted on the entire
island.
Each island will stay near the coast or swim in the ocean, traveling from the equator to the
northern seas.

6. GWANGGYO POWER CENTER
A Hilly Megastructure
This self-contained city was
designed by Dutch architect
company MVRDV. It will be
located 35 km from Seoul in
South Korea. This town will
be able to accommodate
about 77 thousand people,
where they will enjoy the
ecological way of life. The
design is a mix of housing,
office and commercial
buildings, leisure facilities
and educational institutions.
The towers will be set up for multifunctional atriums and on roofs and terraces there will be
located hedges improving ventilation and reducing both water and energy consumption.

7. HYDRO-NET
An Independent Eco-Community
The new project, developed
by a team IwamotoScott
Architects, will present the
concept of Ecotopia. The city
will consist of the towers,
collecting seaweed, fog
flowers and geothermal
mushrooms. The walls of the
Hydro-Net tunnel will be
made of carbon nanotubes
helping to store and distribute
hydrogen, produced by algae
and other sources of fuel.
All of these technologies are designed to reduce carbon emissions and to make the
city self-sufficient, using renewable energy. They also will provide a network of
underground arteries to soaring cars powered by hydrogen fuel.

8. CRYSTAL ISLAND
This city will be enclosed in a
building, made in the form of
a cone. The structure similar
to the tent will rise up to 450
meters. This tent will create a
‘second skin’ of the building,
forming a thermal barrier to
the internal space. This
second skin will regulate the
temperature inside a
building, reducing the heat
loss in winter and cooling the
interior space in summer.
The city is based on the principle of efficient energy use, including the generation of
renewable and low-carbon energy.

9. SKYCITY 1000
An Ultra-High Urban Skyscraper
SkyCity 1000 will include 14
concaved "space plateaus"
in the form of plates, stacked
one above the other. The
inner space of the plateau will
consist of green space, and
the edges of the building will
house apartments. This
project is planned to put an
end to the lack of green
space in Japan and minimize
congestion in the metro.

10. In addition, the green plants planted all over the city, will help to provide
it with fresh oxygen and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
Solar panels will be installed on the roofs of all the buildings in this city. These solar panels will generate renewable energy for the entire city. The project also includes the
management of renewable water resources and environmental systems, lamps, reducing light pollution, and chargers for electric vehicles.
11. SUB-BIOSPHERE 2
Floating ‘Bubbles of Life’
Sub-BioSphere2 will be a self-contained
closed underwater habitat designed for
human habitation, animals and plants. It
will be able to swim or dive under the
water, supporting life in its biomes. Sub-
Biosphere 2 will be equipped with
everything necessary for the
maintenance of life support systems,
including air, water, food and electricity.

12. Each town will consist of eight submerged biomes around the
large central biome. Each biome will be able to float
independently on the water surface or dive to a depth in order
to let its residents and guests enjoy the magnificent
underwater beauty.

13. General Concept of the City
of Future
The main idea of the city of the future is
to create a city system with favorable
environmental conditions for its citizens.
The city will have some amount of
permanent residents and roughly the
same amount of people will come to the
city to work every day.
The source of the power supply of the
city will be solar panels, located on the
roofs and walls of buildings for the
personal energy constituting together a
great "Mirror field" designed to supply
the urban infrastructure.

14. Vehicles with carbon dioxide
emissions in the city will be
strictly forbidden. A rail transport
system will be created instead
serving for the move of special
electric vehicles, self-driven taxi,
for instance.

15. Compact urban car powered
by hydrogen fuel cellsGyrocopter Zero Helicopter
GM EN-V an electric car
Walamai Outback – a car with an
electric engine powered by
renewable energy
Here are several examples of future city vehicles.
16. Wastes incineration and
their dumping in landfills
cause irreparable harm
to the environment.
Therefore, a city of
future should have a
system for on-site
wastes disposal. Wastes
will also be turned into
fuel and useful materials
for the needs of the
urban economy with the
help of thermal
recycling.

17. The entire city will also be covered with an openwork canopy that
will create areas of shade, lower the temperature in the summer,
therefore reducing energy consumption for the ventilation system.

18. The Green City
This is, in fact, the project of urban greening, buildings and walls in particular. However
there is a significant ‘stumbling block’: any plant destroys the concrete, because the
pressure generated equal a few tens of atmospheres easily destroys meter layer of
concrete in just 5 or 6 years. The same will happen with the heavy-duty materials.

19. The City on Water
It is expected that as a result of
the polar snow melting, water level
in the oceans will rise and much of
the land will be under water. City-
islands may be applicable in this
case. However, there several
issues regarding such project.
Firstly, it will need a desalination
plants to produce water suitable
for everyday usage. This will
require a lot of energy. Secondly,
this city will be very limited in size,
and as a result of its swimming, it
will simply "draw" water even in
calm while in rough sea it may
even sink.

20. In addition, there are other problems of
such projects. For example, the
number of residents should remain
unchanged, otherwise an increase in
the number of city dwellers will require
the vehicle and the housing stock
increase making the city ‘choke’.
The authorities of these cities will
have to introduce laws on family
size. There also should be
introduced the age limit for
marriages. Women who become
pregnant outside of marriage will
have to do an abortion.

21. Conclusion
Summing up, it may be noted that the uniqueness of these project is in the implementation of
advanced technologies and scientific developments in the real life. However, futurists claim
that in the future, the current urban problems will even worsen requiring solutions to be more
radical than shown in this presentation.
