This document presents a vision of future cities that are heavily influenced by science fiction ideas. It describes how current cities share similarities like air but face threats from population growth and climate change. The document envisions future overpopulated cities building a second floor to accommodate more people, with the lower city having poor living conditions and no sunlight, while the upper city is more balanced but divides people. To prevent this dystopian scenario, the document suggests respecting nature, promoting sustainability, and curbing excessive consumerism to reduce overpopulation and the need for multi-level cities.

How do you envision the city of the future
The author envisions the city of the future as having three levels - underground, middle, and in-air spaces. The underground areas would be relaxation centers for entertainment and recharging. The middle level would have large squares for social interaction. In-air spaces built on rooftops would be full of green areas and water to promote healthy living. While this advanced vision is still far off, cities will need to evolve significantly from their current forms to accommodate growing populations in a sustainable way through innovative design and forward-thinking.

Anthropocene steampunk
This document discusses how steampunk design fiction can provide models for incorporating environmental concerns into digital humanities work. It references how media terms often obscure the environmental impacts of digital technologies. Steampunk is presented as a design practice that could inspire more sustainable approaches through its emphasis on physical realization, DIY practices, and appropriation. The document also includes extracts discussing how ancient settlements have been buried over time by water and sediment, and how 19th century London demanded new ways of living in its novel, manufactured environment.

The document is a report by a student named Lee Jian Ru about a proposed future city called Neopolis. Some key points:
- Neopolis will be a floating/flying city to address overpopulation and environmental issues on Earth.
- The design of Neopolis is inspired by the futuristic city of Elysium from the movie, featuring advanced medical technology.
- Important characteristics of Neopolis include being surrounded by trees for air quality, placing markets within walking distance to reduce carbon emissions, and using robots for security.
- The conclusion is that Neopolis will provide a sustainable living environment with modern amenities and healthcare, while balancing development and environmental protection.
Anthropocene steampunk
This document summarizes and quotes from multiple sources about steampunk design and its relationship to environmental issues. It discusses how steampunk provides an example of realizing imagined worlds through physical design. One quote notes how terms like "the cloud" can create damaging views that ignore the digital's environmental impacts. The document also includes quotes describing how ancient villages became buried over time and how London in the 19th century was a novel, manufactured environment demanding new ways of living.
Fina ldoxidas
C.A Doxiadis was a Greek architect and town planner known for developing the theory of Ekistics and designing the new capital city of Islamabad in Pakistan. Some key points of his work:
- He founded the science of Ekistics to study human settlements of all scales, from villages to cities to regions, and how they evolve over time. This aimed to build optimized cities for humans.
- His theory analyzed factors like geography, growth, organization, and internal/external structures that influence human settlements. It also established a hierarchy of rural villages up to larger urban areas.
- Doxiadis designed Islamabad as the new capital of Pakistan in the 1950s based on Ekistic principles
Urbanization: Brief History & Future Outlooks
Urbanization refers to the increasing concentration of population in cities and the transformation of land use to an urban pattern. It is driven by economic factors as people migrate from rural to urban areas for work opportunities. While urbanization brings economic benefits, it also concentrates environmental impacts like pollution, resource use, and waste generation. To develop more sustainably, cities must improve existing infrastructure and plan future development to minimize environmental footprints while meeting growth needs through compact design and alternative transportation options. Understanding urban systems as complex interacting processes is key to managing urbanization's impacts at local and global scales.
Rownowaga 1 uk-16-23
This document discusses reanalyzing the history of urban planning and design from a microscopic physiological perspective rather than the typical macroscopic aesthetic viewpoint. It argues that physiological factors like climate, disease, and infrastructure influenced urban development more than aesthetics and symbolism. Looking at the history through this "thermodynamic" lens reveals that functional needs often preceded formal considerations. It suggests reversing the typical cause-and-effect relationship used to understand urban planning history to recognize the microscopic physiological influences on macroscopic urban forms and patterns.
Oala agm markham ken greenberg
The document discusses challenges facing auto-dependent urban development and opportunities for more sustainable urban planning approaches. It notes that cities are transforming to become more walkable, mixed-use, and transit-oriented in response to issues like climate change, congestion, and public health. Examples are given of cities redesigning streets and neighborhoods to better support walking, cycling, and transit use over driving. The importance of strategic vision, collaboration, and empowering cities to make sustainable paradigm shifts is emphasized.
From round cities to space rings
This document discusses the progression of cities from ancient villages to potential future compact cities and space rings. It envisions cities evolving from individual buildings to integrated structures protected by domes. Future craft may use vertical take-off and landing and be powered by turbines or propellers rather than wings. Large fuel tank craft could travel directly in space or between stars. Floating craft using lighter-than-air gases may also become more common on high-atmosphere planets.
You will be required to a complete a brief (~300 400 words) read
The document provides instructions for a reading response assignment. Students must write a 300-400 word response addressing key ideas and takeaways from assigned readings, comparing them to other readings, and noting any lingering questions. The response should evaluate the readings, synthesize points across readings, and list any remaining questions. Specific questions are provided about readings discussing digital information transforming media, forms of media multitasking, and how media multitasking relates to losing "quiet spaces" from deep reading. Responses will be graded as outstanding, satisfactory, or unsatisfactory based on insights, consideration of readings, and addressing the guiding questions.

London has enjoyed recent success as the world's most visited city, but faces threats to its cultural identity and broader economies from an unchecked focus on wealth. The document discusses London's unique assets like its world-leading diversity and cultural narratives. It also examines how the city has strategically promoted itself through bodies like London & Partners to maintain its status as a global supercity, and how connections across sectors can drive growth through projects improving transportation and regenerating areas. The city's rich cultural offerings and ability to inspire commercial brands demonstrate how London speaks to the world through its stylistic palette.

MAC129 What Is Cyberculture?
This document discusses the history and definitions of cyberculture. It notes that cyberculture originated in the 1950s-1970s with the development of computer networks in the US for communication and business. Cyberculture studies examine online communities, gaming, and issues of identity and gender in internet usage. The document also discusses debates around the impacts of cyberculture, whether it leads to social deterioration or new opportunities for connection.
de Haldevang, Max [2016] How to plan urban sprawl that is environmentally-fri...
While urban sprawl is often criticized for its environmental and social impacts, the document argues that preventing sprawl entirely is unrealistic and may harm the poor. Instead, cities could manage sprawl in environmentally and socially responsible ways through improved planning, infrastructure investment, and policies supporting affordable housing and public transit. The challenges vary significantly between high-income sprawl in Western cities, low-income sprawl common in developing world cities, and high-density sprawl seen in China. Overall the UN's focus should be on helping cities strategically plan for inevitable urban expansion rather than simply trying to stop sprawl.
City life and new urbanism
This document discusses the principles of New Urbanism and its goal of reintroducing urban centers and qualities to city planning. It begins by describing how post-World War II development led to isolated, car-centric communities that lacked the mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods characteristic of traditional urban planning. New Urbanism began in the 1970s-80s to address this by creating neighborhoods and urban centers with human-scale design. The document then outlines some of New Urbanism's key design principles, such as creating walkable communities with a mix of uses and civic spaces embedded within neighborhoods.
#BRANDLONDON: place branding report by creative.union
The world’s most visited city, London has in recent years enjoyed stellar success that is now compromised by an unregulated focus on wealth. Disconnected from the capital’s rich cultural identity, this threatens to undermine its broader economies.
Featuring observations and opinions of some of the UK’s foremost developers, placemakers and cultural commentators, this #BRANDLONDON report seeks to understand whether the capital has the strengths, smarts and connections it needs to build on its dazzling recent record.

In this unit we finished our studies of urbanism which is a good point to recap and analyzed the transformation of our cities. We can identify three major events of transformation. First, is the industrialization in the late 1800’s. The introduction of new building materials such as iron help build higher structures changing the typology of the cities. The second event occurred after WWII and it's known as suburbanization of the city. The third and actual event is the decentralization of the urban fabric forming megacities.
In this unit we also learn that the actual conditions of our postindustrial society is threatened with globalization and hyper-network environments. Scholars claim that the “post industrial economy” is what defines the urban growth. In order to achieve this task, economies rely upon the distribution of systems that feed a global network of data and exchange. In the 1980’s the urban thinker Manual Castells did an analysis of the complex interaction between technology society and space. In his studies, he explains the importance of space and defines it as an expression of our society. Space becomes super complex to understand in this information era which questions the need for a physical space of congregation.
Many scholars have been studying post modern societies and have created concepts such as “Global city” by Saskia Sassen and “Technopoles” by Allan J. Scott. In order to understand this megacities of our era, Robert Fishman, introduced concepts such as; technoburb to describe the reorganization of urban space. This same idea is defined by Garneau the “Edge city” in which Orange County is one of his study grounds.
Now at days, there are many events happening that are affecting the urban organization. These transformations have taken two faces that are expressed in the megacities. The first one is the decentralization and globalization of cities such as; New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo and London. These cities are threatened with placelessness of post modern architecture and the idea of a non-place culture whose identity is not link to any specific society. The other face of the megacities are when the global economy puts you in a bad spot and you become the producer for the consumerist megacities. In George Parker’s article, “Decoding The Chaos Of Lagos,” we have a clear example how this mega city is suffering all the negative aspects of our era where people work only to earn about 2 or 3 dollars per day with poor quality living environment.
Questions:
1. How do you think that globalization and network societies have shaped the urban sprawl of Los Angeles?
2. Taking the place of an urban developer, how would you suggest to fix the differences between the two types of megacities like Lagos Nigeria to Orange County?

City of the Future
- 2. my views are heavily influenced by science fiction, dystopia and cyberpunk ideas and therefore may not sound very optimistic
- 4. SYDNEY
- 5. MOSCOW
- 6. MADRID
- 7. SINGAPORE
- 8. these cities are different with one of a kind architecture, unique population and culture but there is one important aspect, that is the same: air
- 9. air gives us the feeling of freedom visit the nearest park and make a deep breath raise your head and you’ll always see the sky
- 10. 2. CHANGES
- 11. nowadays humanity is facing many threats
- 12. population is growing rapidly
- 13. global warming melts the ice and water takes away land
- 14. mankind is polluting wast territories, making them uninhabitable
- 15. pretty encouraging, isn't it? here are just two examples of what humanity already achieved
- 16. HONG KONG
- 17. TOKYO
- 18. raise your head and you’ll see… nothing street noise follows you everywhere fresh air is a dream living becomes a challenge
- 19. 3. FUTURE
- 20. future technology level will allow humankind to build overpopulated cities a second floor: horizontal wall between two worlds
- 21. lower city shelter for the working class nightlife heaven with threatening crime rates no sunbeam for years atmosphere tastes like sewers
- 23. upper city basically, a blend of Manhattan and Silicon Valley, example of perfect balance between nature and human all flavoured with the latest technologies
- 25. striking difference what is it? a return to medieval estates order?
- 26. here is how complete city looks like
- 27. complete city looks like that
- 28. beautiful outside full of human vice inside
- 30. to prevent this worst case scenario we should follow a few simple steps
- 31. respect nature develop eco-consciousness since school compensate the damage to environment
- 32. develop negative attitude to consumerism concept (hard one) encourage companies to invest in sustainable development
- 33. these steps will probably help to preserve the nature and therefore bypass the need of the city’s second floor
- 34. because, seriously, who would like to live in a city like that?
