So I imagine the city of the future.

1. City
of the
future
Ramiz Dadashov | Instituto de Empresa
June 2017

2. Until recently the emergent nature
of cities was a given, but this
negligence of smart design combined
with lack of advanced technology gave
rise to huge unsustainable structures -
home to over half of the population of
the Earth.

3. -Poor design
-Inefficient use
of space
-Inefficient use
of technology
-Pollution
-Waste of natural
resources
-Waste of human
potential
-Poverty
-Environmental
damage
REASONS RESULTS

4. Modifying and developing
existing cities to be
more sustainable seems
like an obvious first
step, but designing and
building new cities from
ground up might be the
most logical way to go in
the future

5. Although the need
to design more
sustainable cities
is obvious, it
could also damage
the authenticity of
a populated area
created by virtue
of emergence

6. Main idea behind sustainability is to
meet the needs of the present without
sacrificing the needs of the future
Another key idea in designing new
cities would be to not sacrifice
beauty and aesthetic value to
efficiency

7. Material
Efficient
Time
Efficient
Energy
Efficient
design of
structures
would also
have to leave
room for
flexibility
and an artful
touch
To make this possible, art
should be incorporated in every
domain of the architecture of a
city

8. Holistic
approach in
designing for
sustainability
Sustainability
Economy Environment
Society
Viable
Equitable Bearable

9. The city of
the future and
it’s
inhabitants
will coexist
as one living,
evolving
organism
smart city inhabitants
evoke social responsibility by design
exercise social responsibility

10. Strategies like
car free cities
more
accessible
public
transportation
automation of
dirty
dangerous
demeaning jobs
will organically bridge the gap between higher and
lower income urban residents and create an atmosphere
of social equality

11. Advancement of technology will not only allow us
to improve existing cities,
but also create new types of cities in the future

12. One of the possible options
is floating cities
zero emission
biomass, solar, tidal
and wind energy
producing own food
potential solution to overpopulation
and climate change

13. Ideally, cities of the future
will be a symbiosis between
nature and technology,
rather than artificial structures
separating
humans from their natural habitat

you!
