Fahad Al Tamimi Architecture explains the concepts of hyperdensity and walkability in terms of cityscapes. New examples of modern, energy efficient and innovative cities are being planned in China for construction in the near future. This Slideshare explains the difference between these two architectural ideas and gives a description of the new buildings being planned. Fahad Al Tamimi is one of Europe’s leading architects creating cutting-edge building designs across a diverse portfolio of projects.

Future City Living

2. The Concept of Walkability
 Walkability
is the idea that cities
should be pedestrian areas
 Roads become new, safe areas for
walking
 It reduces noise and air pollution
 It helps preserve the environment
 It gives the population the
opportunity to exercise, leading to
healthier people

3. A car free environment

4. Examples of Walkability
China’s newest city addition will be
built completely from the ground up,
and will entirely free of vehicles
 It will house approximately 80,000
people in total
 It will be possible to walk the entire
city
 From the centre to the extremity of the
city will take 10 minutes to walk
 It will be energy efficient and produce
less waste


5. Hyperdensity
 Hyperdensity
is the idea that cities
should be built vertically to
conserve ground space
 These new constructs can be
connected by walkways and
bridges
 The resulting free ground space
can be made into pleasant areas
for enjoyment

6. A taller way of living

7. Example of Hyperdensity
Shan-Shui City in China, designed by
MAD Architects, is a futuristic city
design reminiscent of water and
mountains
 It consists of mixed-use buildings, with
public areas and living
accommodation
 There will be natural areas in between
to allow for exploration
 Public transit and walking will be the

