The future of cities

What first comes to my mind are very tall skyscrapers connected by suspended bridges and large hanging gardens.

New technologies will enable us to make even taller buildings than those of today, capable of accommodating thousands of people: “vertical cities” where it will be possible to live, work, have fun, shop and go to the cinema. These new constructions will make extensive use of graphene, carbon foam, transparent concrete and other super-light and ultra-strong materials.

Optical fibers and electrical cables will run under our streets, while parking lots will all be underground and automated: the vehicles are left by the owner on a platform that will take care, with a mechanical arm, to “park” the car in the first available space.

A city capable of managing resources in the most efficient and ecological way possible, with vertical farms and woods, with buildings covered with solar panels, capable of collecting rainwater for shared use and cleaning air; Ideally they would be completely self-sufficient structures, almost resembling a living organism.
