The world's most innovative cities past present future - oct 2020Future Agenda
Cities are where innovation happens, where most ideas form and economic growth largely stems. For centuries, the world’s most innovative cities have been acting as global catalysts for change, and will continue to do so. As more cities seek to have impact over the next decades, we need to better understand what drives success and so identify those that may have greatest lasting impact.
APPROACH – Getting Clarity
Future Agenda has been conducting multiple discussions around the world on the future of cities (www.futureofcities.city). Our aim is to explore the range of views about what makes one city more successful, more influential and more innovative than other, and also consider key related issues such as the future of work, health, trade, trust, transport and data.
In addition, we have applied a similar modelling technique to those applied to Innovation Leaders which, for twenty years, has identified the companies that have been the best and most sustained innovators, in order to assess what potentially makes one city more innovative than another. Exploring multiple criteria, we have highlighted some core global catalysts for change.
To accompany a speech at the WRLDCTY event, this presentation shares some of the salient insights: It profiles some of most innovative cities of the past, identifying the key elements that contributed to their success, highlights some of the pivotal cities having greatest impact today, and, lastly, suggests ten cities for future global innovation leadership.

The chapter examines the growth and influence of cities through history and around the world. It discusses the origins of European cities in medieval times and their expansion through trade. Industrialization and imperialism further spread the urban model globally. Today, there are major differences in urbanization trends between core and peripheral regions. A small number of world cities have outsized economic and cultural influence, while many megacities in the periphery struggle with issues like overpopulation, poverty, and lack of infrastructure.
The chapter examines the growth and influence of cities throughout history. It discusses the roots of European urban expansion in medieval times linked to rise of merchant capitalism and colonialism. This helped spread the urban model globally. Today, most people live in urban areas and cities dominate aspects of modern life. The chapter analyzes urban systems, trends in core/peripheral regions, and rise of mega cities and world cities that occupy key roles in global economies and culture. Challenges include overurbanization, slums, and differences between core and peripheral urban areas.

Urban planning and urban design are two closely related fields that aim to shape and improve the built environment in cities and urban areas. Urban planning involves the development and implementation of policies and strategies to guide the growth and development of cities, while urban design focuses on the physical and aesthetic aspects of the built environment, including the design of buildings, public spaces, and transportation systems. Together, these disciplines seek to create livable, sustainable, and inclusive urban environments that meet the needs of diverse communities.

Introduction
Our Element in Natural and Built Environment (ENBE) final project is all
about “The future city Representation”. This project is divided into two
parts which contain 20% individual work and 20% group work. We are
required to investigate and examine the ancient cities, present cities and
future cities. It will help us to understand the components and elements of
a city. In the future city, we should have to focus on the facilities,
infrastructures, the needs of the people and how it will sustain by itself in
the future.
Cities are the highest form of social organization which the intricacy of
the transportation, business centre, sport events, food distribution,
educational system, housing area, road system, land usage and others need
to be considered.
For our task, we are required to imagine ourselves as a mayor of the “X”
city. As a mayor of the new city, we need to plan a new layout for the new
city. In the plan , we need to include some important items such as the
geometric shape , pattern , form , zoning of the city , population , social
issues , transportation , networking , climate change consideration and so
on.

The new “X” City
Miltrada IV
Geometric Shape
The geometric shape of my floating city is a circle shape .There was a
lot of different shapes combined together and formed a big circle .The
reason that chosen this geometric shape is I thought circle is bigger than
other shapes. It can contain many buildings and looked loose and
comfortable.
The main focus of the city
The main focus in the city can divide into three important areas. There
are recreational areas, commercial areas and residential areas.
Commercial areas are the most important area in the city as it provide
many employment opportunities to some unemployed man to reduce

their heavy burdens .Recreational and residential areas also very
important because human can’t live without this two areas .When they
felt stress they can got to the recreational areas to release their stress.
Transportation
In order to solve the problem of air pollution, I had decided to provide
electrical and solar energy transportation in my floating city as it’s very
environmental and also not exhaust the nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen oxide and
carbon dioxide. However, they also can ensure the health of the people. I also
provide some railways in the city so that they can save the time and reach the
destination as fast as possible.

How solar panel works?
Solar panels convert the sun’s energy into electricity.
A control device changes this, enabling it to power electricity items.
The electricity passes through a breaker box to outlets in the building.
The items in the house such as refrigerator, fan and more can plug
into the outlets for power.

Conclusion
After few weeks of researching about the urban planning and design, I
realize that it’s very hard to be a urban planner as it was a lot of things need to
consider and also a very challenging project to go.
In this final project, I’ve learned how to create a good city and acknowledge
what the citizens need. On the other hand, while planning a city, we have to
take care about the green technology and green space into the layout of the
city so that we can ensure that the people can live under a good environment.
Lastly, we should have to keep our city clean and keep away the activities
that harm to our cities so that we can provide a good environment to everyone.
