How do you envision
the city of the future?
Points of view
Positive Negative
Almost half of the world´s population currently lives in cities, and is
projected to increase in the following decades, but what kind of city
will they be living in?
I envision the city of the future through two different points of
view:
PositiveIn a positive way, I conceive the city of the future as a result of
technological development. This visualization includes the
following aspects:
1. PrioritiesAs a priority, the cities must:
Perform sustainable
mobility actions
Save water urban
consumption
Have low emission
technologies
Be technologically
efficient
2. Smart citiesA smart city uses digital technologies to:
Enhance performance
and wellbeing
Reduce costs and
resource consumption
Engage more
effectively with its
citizens
3. Construction and design
The most important constructions in these new metropolises would
be:
Buildings with
sustainable criteria
Vertical farms and
vegetable gardens
4. Cars
The volume of gas cars
emits, is a huge problem in
nowadays cities. The
development of new
technologies should reduce
this significant problem.
Limiting the access of cars to
cities is an example of the
measures hollowed in our
days. That is the reason why I
envision the city of the future
riddled with electric cars.
NegativeIn a negative way, I conceive the city of the future as a result of
human contamination. This behaviour would lead to the following
consequences:
1. CitiesIf humans do not stop polluting and
contaminating the world, cities will
disappear. The conception of the
metropolis will vanish because
cities will be transformed into the
accumulation of human remains.
Something I have no doubt about is
that cities in the future will look as
enormous dumping sites.
2. HumansI belive that in the city of the future humans will have numerous health
problems:Cancer (chiefly lung
cancer)
Respiratory faileure or
respiratory problems
Increase of diseases:
typhoid fever,
malaria…
3. Global
Warming
Humans need to stop polluting
and contaminating the world. If
they do not stop acting as they
are doing, there will be
disastrous consequences. As I
have already mentioned, one of
these effects will be the
“extinction” of cities. Global
warming is an obvious example
of peoples actions and one of
the most relevant and
significant repercussions.

ConclusionNo-one really knows what the future holds but the reality now is that our
urban spaces are overcrowed and polluted. However, I have a dystopian
vision of the city of the future. I envision it as a magnificent place full of
flying cars, intelligent buildings, greener spaces…
