Topic: Future Cities (Read 559 times)

roger elwood has an anthology called future city from 1974

The first thing the government needs to prepare is the infrastructure for the new city because, without that, the new city will not run better than the other cities. The government needs a lot of money to start to build that new city and yes, the tax can help that make a new city happen. And that will need more than 10 years if the technology still develops and needs to be invented. But it will happen in the future and maybe we will see something like in the Star Trek movie.

It usually takes a long time to happen although technology is improving step by step there is a government ban on work. The lands are under the control of the government and from here the corporations take taxes and subsidies so creating their own city is nothing but imagination.

Stop  watching too much Sci-Fi movies mate because this will never bring you any better to believe in all that you seen.
yeah if they don't shutdown by all countries that they are taking over now 

I think that in 10 years something too coordinated will not happen, but the fact that technology will surround us at every step is certain. Maybe cars will even start flying lol

Cyberpank lol

I am confident that China will be the first country to reach the peak of technology

This will only happens in Movies and won't applicable in real life because people are wanted to be free and now like an animals or a Slave that has been Feed and given shelter just to follow orders every minute of their life.
This is a world of desperations .

Would you really want your employer to be able to make dwelling inspections on a whim?  Imagine not being able to transfer to another department (much less another city) because your employer had no vacancies in the other area.

I think this would be the dream of any company, they own your home and you don't have to pay rent, but in return you are only paid a small salary. Imagine Amazon or Apple would just build their own city instead of an office complex. Let every worker do home office and make only video conferences from home. Owning large office blocks would be completely redundant. Your boss also bring your landlord, scary times.

Quality of life is reducing in the well-developed cities due to pollution, expensive rents, increased traffic, etc so we are in need of creating more citities to avoid the dense living cities and its is important to keep the cities from pollution free before we start living free.

All cities are already turning into garbage dump. Topicstarter is awesome dreamer

seems the topic creator thinks starting a new city will allow outlaws
sorry but any land you have which is within a state still has to follow state laws.

if there was a town promoting 'our doctors are untrained and unlicensed' the only people wanting to live there.. are the people wanting to die there (assisted suicide style)

You wrong. Future in decentralized rural infrastructure

An efficient and intelligent city should be dynamic, the dynamic of the naked eye. There is a serious problem in today's cities. When it is necessary to make changes to the buildings in a certain place, it is difficult to achieve this because the local buildings have already occupied the space. For example, the increase in the flow of people in a place requires a supermarket to be built, but the surrounding areas are all private premises, so there is no way to build a supermarket.

This is happening now right? there are so much in cities that owned by big corporation , here in my country there are mega city that everything is almost rented and only few that is owned by other people.
Well we have already robots now right?

"It's as if the earth is wearing a coat made of gems and enamel. Its dazzling brilliance is absolutely unimaginable." At the same time, he also predicted that the horse dung piles on the streets would soon pass by Central London and Manhattan. The second floor of those buildings. Neither of these predictions became a reality.

In the boundless romantic imagination, we can only approach infinitely through experience and knowledge. For children, satisfying curiosity only requires an experiment in the school laboratory. For scientists, satisfying curiosity can build billions of particle colliders, huge laboratories covering an area of tens of square kilometers.

In the future, I think there will be many robots in our city, who can do many things for us. He can help us work and help us solve problems. This can greatly improve our work efficiency and improve our happiness in life. We will be more proficient in using the Internet, and our lives will undergo great changes.

These are satalite images of the Burning Man city - as you can see the "city" is spread out concentrically from a central platform (the "man").  If explorers were arriving from another planet on an "arc" style deep space vessile, then this may be what the cities of the future might look like.


Such a city might have a series of trams/trolley-busses or underground rail networks (all electric powered) traveling along the concentric circles, clockwise or counter clockwise with the radial spokes being connectors into the central hub areas.

Interesting

It is important to recognize the enemy. Big cities are like a prison, in which people find something to do, so that they are cogs of the system. Where is the place for contemplators, poets, artists, people who are looking for the truth, who want to study and create for the good of all mankind?
Big cities are needed so that we understand that somewhere we made a mistake when we went in the opposite direction from nature.

The cities of the future will improve a lot exhausted air will turn into air it will also go a long way in terms of technology with the development of technology the nature of human travel in the city has changed drastically. In addition to traffic control the technology has given passengers the opportunity to improve their journey via mobile basically through the digitization of payment systems public transport in the city is being simplified free of cost and without housing costs.

The last 9 to 12 months have shown us that people will increasingly want to either work from home, or, have more flexible working arrangements than they already have today enabling them to work at or near home.  Perhaps even in a local building dedicated to having suites designed for a just a handful of workers who can log in remotely have conference call meetings but not actually be in a central hub like a Cities CBD.

What i think about future city is very different from other opinions i think that the future cities might
very good in physical comfort but it would not take care of our mental health

I'm actually kind of scared. Imagine an area where no government rule, no law protecting you from harm, no one to go to if someone robs you, or even worse, try to murder you. Sounds pretty dystopian.

the main problem with the cities is the density of population... so i guess the changes will be linked with it

The future is always not the same as past, corporations have had everything long ago that we have. But the main thing is that people do not really suffer from this

This are already happening in some part of the world and to think that no licensure for doctor's is not a good vision as i can see. I also forseeing a dome like city covered with hard like shield to block all kinds of polution.

It seems to me that in the near future there will be more villages in nature in ecologically clean places. People will leave large cities (only those who need it will remain there).

Ofcourse.
I think it's better to concessions lands to such corporations rather than sell them. The lands remains community-owned but run by the corporations. Nations will likely not even like the idea unless maybe citizens are part owners of the lands.

I don't think corporations should be buying up lands otherwise they may buy up the whole earth and destroy or turn it into something very unhealthy.

They should be well governed by the right rules to prevent them from acting outside the law.

The availability of the world's cheapest and best medical health care is a great vision, but to be free of government restrictions, I think that is where the issue will begin as it can start a riot in the long run.

I get it though the site i visited is not secure but it's clearly mentioned about this group in which Legal in USA things that i have not known if you did not mention here thanks for enlightenment Mate .
Hope this will be legal in my place also.

The concept is not new - it was used ~150 years ago when the Cadbury Chocolate Factory moved to Bournville, England and is regarded as one of the finest model towns in the UK.  Workers and former workers live in, or own the cottages that surround the Cadbury's factory that continues to operate in that location.

What i assume regarding future cities is the full implementation of the smart cities concept and that will be achieved by the implementation of smart blockchain identity, AI and IOT usage in all sectors, the efficiency and automation will be brought by smart contracts of most advanced blockchain networks.
What you are talking is a totally decentralized city which seems far far away to me because governments will not be going anywhere.

Understand a city’s people, components, functions, scales and dynamics, as precondition for its sustainable design and management.Future Cities” is a series of urban MOOCs bringing the latest research results on planning, managing and transforming cities to those places in the world where they are needed most. “Future Cities” provides an overview. “Quality of Life: Livability in Future Cities” describes factors of livability in cities.

This idea sounds awful. I don’t think that will happen. And if this happens, then only by the stupidity of people.
If the land is wholly owned by large corporations, then corporations can dictate their terms, they can impose what is beneficial to them. They can do the most terrible things with impunity, because it is completely their city.

If you are interested, then right now (for a very long time) the same thing happens only in a slightly different way. The world is now ruled by just a small group of large corporations and various foundations. They promote sinister ideas that harm people and keep 99% of people enslaved. Bad food, water with fluoride, senseless activity, poor ecology, constant millions of times over-emitted electromagnetic radiation in cities, etc.

A person and family should be in the first place. Otherwise, there will be slavery, which is now happening at the moment.

But I don’t think that everything is so bad. More and more people are waking up. Everything will change soon. I have no doubt whatsoever.

Having availability to the world's cheapest and best medical care would be the most important thing. And add to that I think having a sustainable life for the human race could be one of the great feature of a future city. A lot can be considered, but let's start with these things first perhaps.

The lack of governmental restrictions are the most complicated aspect to achieve because they can cause problems in relation to national security.

Glad to be of service.     

The USA is ideal for this. Why? Because the laws are in place and have been for a long time to allow "future towns." Google "Private Membership Association."

How many more links do you want? Of course, you don't have to use any of it if you don't want to.

In the USA, the Private Membership Association is a type of private organization where doctors don't need a license. Neither do lawyers/attorneys and all kinds of other regulated operations. Think of the barber who can simply cut hair without a license. Google "Private Membership Association."

I never really do get much enthusiasm for my ideas about eliminating medical licensure, but let me try to sell you on it:

everyone owns their body, and should be able to choose any provider of their liking, weather they have a license/degree, or not.

Medical care is very, very expensive.  In some cases, it's so expensive that patients can't afford it.  Reputation/feedback systems are cheap and easily available online.  There's a vast wealth of knowledge available online.  Anyone can learn basic (or even advanced) medical skills online, for free.  Providers can be ranked by the quality of the care that they provide.  They would compete with one another to provide the best care, instead of knowing that there's always a limited supply of medical care available because not so many folks are willing or able to attend medical school. 

Thus, the standard needs to change.

Since you own your body, you should be in full control of your choice of healthcare provider. 

AND

Without the hard and fast requirement for a degree or license, more people would practice medicine, and they'd do it at a lower cost. 

What I'm saying here is that since licensure restricts the supply of medical care and causes the price of medical care to reach unaffordable levels, medical licensure kills.

This is just another example of an entrenched industry looking out for itself. 

Whatever country/city/state/whatever first adopts a policy that recognizes people's bodily autonomy (and thus their right to choose anyone to give them care) -- that state will be deeply enriched with innovative, low-cost medical care options.  You can see this a little tiny bit in "medical tourism," but someone needs to take the brakes off. 

Should I make this its own post?  Originally I posted about future cities...

So rather than forced to follow the rules of the Government you are forced to follow the rules of the Corporation...

As for medicine, the degree ensures you are the real thing and not some snake oil charlatan. Other than a degree you should be free to practice, either for free or for profit, or both as many actually do.

Your idea for a corporate owned city is quite old, even Walt Disney wanted to build such a thing before he died.

I think we are getting closer to this idea now
Google and facebook are doing somthing like this
See this article : https://www.citylab.com/solutions/2019/06/alphabet-sidewalk-labs-toronto-quayside-smart-city-google/592453/

I also agree, in my country for example these big companies put many rules in the houses that they build for their workers. The companies in my country determine what kind of pet the worker can place in the house where these companies built, there are constant inspections in the houses that these big companies built in my country.

in short: people are not free to do whatever they want in these houses that these big companies build for their workers

if a 'future town' was to be created inside a country that has a government. then that town will have to still obide by that countries laws,

the only thing that does change is the towns municipal facilities such as who is the landlords, water, electric, telecoms provider. who removes the trash and cleans the streets.

take the disney town linked in another post above.
they stil follow state and federal laws. its not some new government. however the residents wages pay bills and those bills make disney profit.

in short they can act like they re paying a good wage to their workers but then take it right back through the bills they pay when they get home at night. meaning people still dont get a good living wage.

..
many companies have already made many worker communities/villages for their workers to live in. and yes its profitable. id say the down side of making these corporate towns common is that things like their residential status may be tied to their employment status. in short if they lose their job they are out. after all if the land lord of the cafee and grocery store in the town is also disney. then the unemployed worker is not really going to get a local job to his home.. and disney wouldnt want to have to build another house for an replacement employee just to keep an unemployed person around.

in california only a 3 daynotice is required for breaking a provision/term of the rental contract. so if a term of the rental contract is to be actively employed by the company. expect a 3 day notice with your final paycheck

i would say having apartment complexes owned by independant corporations and rented out would be more acceptable than these corporate villages linked directly to the persons employer.

That's not going to happen.
It will happen only in the case that big organizations are going to purchase houses and buildings that already exists inside cities.
Ownership and especially house ownership is rarely transferred to organizations.

I also think that our city will improve a lot in the future. But the land is solely owned by the corporation and if rented to the residents you do not have to own your own land from which you can grow yourself and do something for your children. And physicians must have a license Without a license no doctor can work successfully.

My opinion is that corporations and any large structures are faceless and inhuman (if it is not beneficial for them to appear different).
I believe that it is much more profitable for us to use the land and the achievements of our ancestors (relatives). Because our relatives will not wish us bad, they will be able to help in difficult situations. Large corporations will not be able to do this.
Therefore, it’s ideal for me: you have your own land. On which there is your house (and possibly several more houses of your relatives), on which you can grow cereals, fruits, vegetables, berries, get honey, etc.
There is also a forest on your land.
We have the Internet, thanks to which we can work from home (of course, you can go to some center where you work as in an ordinary city, but it's up to you to decide how you prefer).
It turns out that from your ancestors you got a big land with everything necessary for life and prosperity (food, water, electricity from solar panels or other eco-technology, a house, your own piece of nature). All that is required of us is not to be lazy, and then your land will bring you only happiness, and you will give this land to your great-grandchildren with even more wealth than you received.

this has been here for long ,that is why there are many homeless all over the3 world now and that is reality right?
but what i am looking is about the doctors need no Licensure?i don't think this will happen because Health is concerning the life of all people and having no license is totally not good.

Been there done that: Celebration

I think that in the next 10 years we're going to see a new kind of city develop.  One where the land is fully-owned by a corporation and rented to residents.  Ownership will be a choice, of course, but most folks will rent because they're "just passing through."  Imagine a block of land, anywhere, free of government restrictions.  People could do as they please for once.  Doctors would not need licensure, leading to the availability of the world's cheapest and best medical care. 

It's a fairly extreme vision, but I think the time is soon for concepts like this one.
