Future City
Future Cities Project stimulates multidisciplinary work,
promoting collaboration among partners from different areas.
Contains a living lab, by providing it with a wide range of
sensors and communication equipment, thus creating the
conditions for future research and development using
advanced technologies for data collection through mobile
platforms, wireless communication and large-scale
information processing.
This living lab enables the development of research in
areas such as sustainability, mobility, urban planning and
information and communication technology.

TOPIC: City on land next to
a river or sea.
The reason why we chose this topic was because, we
could make a difference to the city
we are living in now. As it still needs a lot of improvement
to be a green city.
Examples:
11

Creating a livable city
Minimizing environmental impact, reducing CO2 emissions and
improving the lives of people while maintaining economic growth
and social equality.
purification of the water is the is a source of inspiration
worldwide(It is so clean that it allows people to swim)
High quality urban living
energy-efficient power and heat production
renewable energy
20

Transportation
Prevents traffic as it will be travelling in air.
It also reduces pollution
Efficient
Lessen road accidents
Save cost

Renewable energy
windmill electricity
generation does not
create air or water
pollution
-windmill electricity
generation does not
create air or water
pollution
-it can be used over
and over again without
depleting
-Lower electric bill
cost.
-Decrease carbon
footprint
-Renewable
-cost of this electricity
remains constant
-no air or water
pollutants are
produced.
-No poisonous bi-
products
21

Agriculture
produces our food and keeps the
land rich
Raising animals and growing fruits
and vegetables are what nourishes
our body
Land - improves soil structure and protects it against erosion
and nutrient loss by maintaining a permanent soil cover and
minimizing soil disturbance.
Water - requires significantly less water use due to increased
infiltration and enhanced water holding capacity. Mulches also
protect the soil surface from extreme temperatures and greatly
reduce surface evaporation.
22

Walkability
Links one place to
another.
Enable people to
travel smoothly
capable of being
traveled, crossed, or
covered by walking

Introduction
We were given a task to create our own city. Putting ourselves
as the mayor, we will have to rebuilt our city that has been
destroyed.
We had been given various topics such as an Underground City,
an Underwater City, a Floating on Water City, a City in the Air (or
sky scraper city) and On land next to a river or sea.
My group has chose the topic on land next to river or sea. So
we had to design the whole city related to the topic. We had to
do lots of research and planning as we wanted our city to be a
sustainably one.
The main purpose of this project is to allow us students to
explore, differentiate and compare the basic elements such as
natural topography, landscape, space, building and
infrastructure.
1

What makes a city
• The amount of people, population, social issues, activities,
food distribution, culture and religion.
• Having transportation and networking.
• Proper infrastructure, utility, services and amenities.
• Maintaining a sustainable initiative and climate change
consideration and resilience etc.
• Having other services (such as police, army, economy,
security, technology etc)
3

A livable city
• Having efficient public transportation
• Having education, health services, cultural facilities and job
opportunities.
• It should be walkable with large footpaths along its roads.
• It should be totally automobile independent, as all the
major cities of the world such as, London, New York, Tokyo,
Hong Kong and Singapore.
• The roads should be full of taxis and buses with a minimum
of private vehicles. In these cities one does not need a
driving license to survive.
• Great public places where people can congregate.
• Housing for all its citizens.

How I came up with the idea of my city
I got inspired by our national flower, the hibiscus.
It reminds us of our love for our country.
It also represents unity that we need to make our
city a peaceful place.
12

Different types of layout of major cities
I used this as a reference to create the layout of my city.
As it has so many different types of layout which gives me
a wider range to design one for my city.
Basically, its a plan or sketch, as of an advertisement or a
page of a newspaper or magazine, indicating the
arrangement and relationship of the parts, as of type and
artwork.
What is a layout?

Riveria Oasis
The city was hit by a horrendous tornado. It was the worst
natural disaster ever faced by the citizens there. Not a single
person was prepared to face it.
One fine day, as everyone was doing their daily routine as
usual, the worst thing happened to the citizens there. They
were attacked by a tornado. Everyone was panicking and running
away from it but it was not a success.
Most of the buildings were crushed and buried, nothing was
left. It soon became a deserted island as too much money was
needed to be invested to rebuilt the city all over again.
This was when, I was chosen to become the mayor. After much
thinking, I have decided to redevelop this city as nothing was
impossible to do if we had to desire to do it. I needed to work
very hard and efficient as it had to be designed and build from
scratch.
After all the planning and researches I did, I proudly present
to you, Riveria Oasis. This is where the future begins!

Zoning
This is where all the playgrounds
and sports area and sport clubs
Located. It allows people to exercise
and keep a healthy life style
This is where all the buildings that
Are owned by the government/
Mayor. Buildings like school, post
office, police station and etc.
This are where the residents are
staying. All their houses are located
in this area.
All the factories are located in this
section. Its located near the sea as
it needs a lot of water to function
certain machines
All the commercial blocks are placed
here. Example all the shop lots that consists
of almost every type of items we need.
14

All types of beverages and food can be
found here. Road side shops, MacD,
KFC and etc is located here.
This is where all the hospitals are
located. Whoever that needs to
see the doctor can come here.
All the parks and malls are located here.
For people to hang out and relax
All the vegetables and animals are here.
This is where they plant most of our food.
This is where all the energy is stored.
It will then flow to our houses for us to use.
15

Religious area
This is where all the types of religion pay
respect to their god. For the chinese buddhists
they go to the temple, as for the christians, the
go to the church.
Malays on the other hand, goes to the mosque
and indians go to the indian tample.
All the ships from other country comes
Here and do all the exchanging and selling of goods
16

Conclusion
A good city, is a city which is diverse, clean, safe and has a healthy
environment.
What I’ve learnt is that the key features to a successful city is the presence of
nature, clean, attractive public spaces and buildings, walkable city centers and safe
neighbourhoods.
It will also need the participation of everyone if we want the place to be a
successful area.
We also need to remember that cities are not only places for people, but it is
also for tress, plants and animals.
Public transportation also has to be efficient so that all the citizens can reduce
the amount of cars on the road. Which will then improve the air quality
We must also have a proper way to dispose all of our rubbish and not just throw it
at the side of the road. Adding on to that, human or animal waste can be a form of
fertilizers too.
