Fantasies about the future will be visited by people at all times. Many tried to imagine the city of the future, and, funny moment, no one from the past was able to predict what surrounds people in the present. Nevertheless, modern futurologists put forward interesting concepts.
Green future
Environmental issues and hopes that humanity will come to their senses are two components on which the idea of the Green City of the future is based. Is it possible to combine plants and nature with human activity? Adherents of this idea believe that yes. Many projects have already been drawn up that can be used to build green cities even today. Such settlements are self-sufficient, receive energy in an environmentally friendly way, and utilize all waste. The architecture is based on the principles of maximum conformity of layout and climate: temperature features, wind rose and other parameters are taken into account. So the technical means needed to maintain an acceptable level of comfort are used minimally. Such a city cannot be large; it is better suited for a pedestrian and cyclist than for a car. It should have developed public transport.
The city under the dome
Attempts to protect people from the "hostile" outside world lead to the fact that fantasy cities appear closed cities. All the buildings in them are as close to each other as possible, so from one house you can easily get to another. Life is organized in tiers, the city itself grows due to changes in height. As an attempt to bring modern incarnation closer, one can cite almost autonomous skyscrapers that are already trying to build in Asia. In them, people can live, work, and do all the necessary things. In fact, the population of such a multifunctional skyscraper does not even need to leave it. True, the lifestyle of people will be quite specific, but few people care, because we are talking about the future.
Floating cities
The concepts of such cities are more designed for the forced survival of people who have lost their main home than for mass construction in the future. The floating city is a mixture of a huge ship with an autonomous skyscraper, but this idea has more romance, because there will be a sea around. Architects are developing ideas that allow people to live comfortably in such a voyage, without being exposed to storms and sea waves. An important part of the plan is assigned to various designs for the collection and desalination of sea water.
