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.

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.

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.
