INTRODUCTION
The last project was to propose a new future city, the X city. The main purpose of this
assignment was to allow us students to understand the component and elements of a city and
what makes a better future city.
In order to survive from a doomed city, we as mayors were to propose a new and well-
structured city plan for a future city that would be able to uphold a sustainable living
environment assisted with proper future technology for our people to enhance the way of
living in the future.
We were required to carry out an in-depth research on what makes up a city, city planning,
sustainable living environments of a city, the definition and elements of sustainability itself
and other elements that contributes to building a city and then come up with a proposal of a
future city.

A CITY – Definition
WHAT exactly defines a city? Is it the community that exist, the activities carried out, the
land usage and the interaction between all these three elements in a certain space? When I
finalised my research on what makes up a city, I found that the concept of a city in each
country varies and there are differences between how one defines a city. However, all cities
do display a various degrees of forethought and conscious design in their layout and
functioning.
Cities house a large community and have complex systems for utilities, amenities, zoning of
areas, land usage, transportation networks, sanitation, road systems, education systems and
etcetera. They create opportunities for the constant development of sustainable land-use and
it is where communities interact with the space to live, learn, explore and continuously grow
its population size.
