Our Cities today – Point of attentions

To think about a futurist city, it is necessary to consider what are currently the biggest problems of our cities and understand how to solve them: overpopulation, poverty, security, traffic, pollution, urban expansion, deforestation and many others

Traffic congestion and transport

Social problems

Pollution Urban expansion

City of the future: Social problem solutions

Overpopulation and poverty

Security

Overpopulation, a social problem in Africa & Asia, occurs when the number of people exceeds natural resources of their area New Locations:

Sea, Air, Space and water

Improve Security which is the degree of resistance to, or protection from, harm, is a priority for any future city

Resources Saving & Reutilization

Police fast intervention

Police Video Surveillance

Solutions proposed

Issues

City of the future: Traffic & transport solutions

Traffic

Issues

Inefficient Public transport

Traffic congestion, condition of roads networks characterized by slower speeds, longer trip times, is frequent in any city

Public transport is a shared passenger transport which is sometime too slow or overcrowded

Innovative method of travelling

Invest in new infrastructures:

Bridge, Streets etc.

Improve the existing public

transport:New tube lines etc.

Marco Francisetti

Innovative public transport system fuelled by clean

energy

Solutions proposed

City of the future: Pollution solutions

Air pollution

Other kinds of pollution

Other relevant problems are related to the pollution of water, sound and many others

Issues

Marco Francisetti

Solutions proposed

Increase green areas

Use clean energy as fuel for cars, houses and public transport

Sensitize people to use of safe materials

Improve waste management &

recycling

Air pollution, spread in all world cities, is due to use of particulates, biological molecules, or other harmful gases

6

City of the future: Urban expansion solutions

Lack of space

Deforestation

Issues

Marco Francisetti

Solutions proposed

Deforestation, necessary for urbanization, is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for this purpose

Since the world population is growing and concentrating in urban areas, cities need more spaces New Locations:

Sea, Air, Space and water

Invest in infrastructures:Skyscrapers etc.

Replant cut trees

Enforce World regulatory
