1. How do you envision the
city of the future?
Ignacio Quero

2. Current cities
Nowadays cities have a lot of problems:
Big population, over half of the world´s
population now live in urban cities.
Pollution, 4.6 million people die each year
from causes directly attributable to air
pollution.
Energy efficiency, 11% of world marketed
energy consumption is from renewable energy
sources

3. Cities of the future won´t have these
problems. In this presentation we
will see how they will resolve it.

4. Big population
To resolve this problem , cities of the future will:
Empower women and families to plan how many
children they want. Everyone will have access to
contraceptives and reproductive healthcare
Be aware of environmental and social cost of
overpopulation. Every person must be cared for
within the constraints of the local and global
environment
Have social norms, Measures can be taken to
model and emphasize the benefits of smaller
families.

5. Pollution
• Nowadays, ozone pollution is primarily due to the pollution
that is released by cars. Seventy-two percent of nitrogen
oxides and fifty-two percent of hydrocarbons, which is a
component of smog, are released by cars.
• In the future, it won´t be allowed to use that type of cars. In
ours cities we will only have electric cars and solar vehicles.

6. • However, not only cars contaminate. Most of
the industries contaminate too. To avoid this
pollution the cities will have a lot of green
spaces and buildings will be ecological.

7. Energy efficiency
• Currently, 11% of world marketed energy
consumption is from renewable energy sources. In the
future it will be 100%.
• Any pollutant will be allowed to use and renewable
energies will be as normal as petrol is now.

8. Other relevant things..
• End to terrorism
• Educated citizens
• Multicultural cities

9. Conclusion
• In my point of view current cities have to
improve a lot to mantain the sustainability of
our civilisation on Earth.
