Topic: What will the cities of the future look like? (Read 19235 times)
Well I do agree that the main reason could be the fact that governments and banks don't have control over cryptocurrencies in general, however, a while ago I've heard about this project called estcoin, the idea of an Estonian national cryptocurrency, however I do not recall any recent news regarding this topic... but this shows that not all governments are so pesimistic when it comes to blockchain based projects...
I think that, cinsidering the growing climate change and global warming, the cities of the future will be built over the oceans and seas because of rising sea level. The structure of these buildings will be made from more strong and durable materials that the field of engineering will create. There will be marine vessels and aerial planes to serve as a mode of transportation. If this will happen, it will be like Atlantis!
Full of empty shops and tents with homeless living in them all over the pavements ..
Amazon many tech online companies also Dapps Apps will reduce the workforce in the high street bars clubs and what not BUT if no many have money then your bars clubs and what not will be EMPTY ..
So i imagine it to be like this NOW remember the TECH industry rules in this part of the world and yet still with all the monies floating around you see this..
Oh and it wont get better because WELL i let you work it out..

ENJOY THE FUTURE ^^^^
Why such a pessimistic prognosis? What are Dapps Apps? How about you explain your logic a bit more? I can't "work it out". So, you think that companies like Amazon will take a lot of jobs from people. They will run other companies out of business? What makes you think that people won't have any money? There are plenty of ways people make money other than in retail. Many of the homeless people in San Francisco actually choose to live that way. There are so many programs available to help people, that they could get out of it if they really wanted to.

I think the cities in the future will be a lot better at harmonising with nature. e.g. lots of greenery integrated with artificial structures, complete reliance on renewable energy, etc. I think the days where science, tech and industry can only gain at the expense of the environment are quickly coming to a close.
Cities of the future will look like Singapore.
In the future, the cities will likely be more technologically advanced. Hopefully we would see more and more buildings use solar panel windows and roofs, as well as building with a more innovative design. It is also highly likely that we will see drones being used to power a flying vehicle. On top of that, I expect us to witness a breakthrough in technology and see improvements on life expectancy and longevity. Hopefully, the climate will not be worse or we would also be facing even worse summer and winter.
To be honest, I think our future will realize all our scifi fantasies! Think about it… It’s all starting -AI, self-driving cars or flying cars, then there’s blockchain tech and virtual currencies. Then there are talks now about space colonization as well as immersion into a virtual world. Mind-blowing, right? I just read about it in this discussion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/transhumanism/comments/91g7yd/should_we_focus_on_space_colonization_or_digital/.
One thing is for sure –our future will be so high-tech and way beyond what our imagination can create.
I opened up the link. It does all look fairly interesting. Could you elaborate on the virtual world thing. The thread on Reddit seems to just mention it as if we should already know what they're talking about. Is this something like the Matrix? People would just be connected to a computer and live in a virtual world? I don't really think that's a great idea. I think it could be cool to go to a world like that for brief periods of time, but it's much nicer to just live in the real world. I just had one idea though. Maybe everybody's homes could be in a virtual world. Then you would just require one spot in a chair per person, instead of actually building huge houses. That could be an interesting thing to explore. One thing is for sure –our future will be so high-tech and way beyond what our imagination can create.

They might look like those in Cyberpunk saga. Huge skyscreapers, fliying cars, AI on every corner.
Well, i see cities in future using high technologies. A lot of gadgets that can be use to make living easy and convenient. We dont need to go out everything is done online. Even houses are using remote controlled gadgets. Those things i see in the future.
It seems like you're talking about now. There are so many gadgets that make things more convenient. In big cities you don't really need to go out at all, if you don't want to. You can order groceries or cooked food online. You can have teachers come teach you at home or via the internet. Even if you get sick, you could have a doctor come to you. I've never heard of it, but I'm sure it would even be possible to have a dentist come to you. If I didn't want to, I think I could almost never leave my apartment. Sometimes I do go for 2 or 3 days without going outside.

since IOT(internet of things) is on the process of being a part of our daily life, imagine all things being automated, cabs w/out drivers, high rise buildings with a robot assistant to welcome you a smokefree ride and maybe some old school bicycles for those that support environmental care but i would not remove beggars from the future city...
Beggar removal will be by claws of giant drones....

It's fascinating that most of the things we are discussing here are just a continuation of what we already have. We even think in terms of limitations we are familiar with. There actually already are electric planes. You're right, it is more challenging to make electric planes because of our limitations on battery technology, but if it's already possible, there's a good chance the technology will only make it more possible. Between 2015-2016 a solar powered plane circumnavigated the whole world! You can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Impulse. Maybe the future we be even cooler than we can imagine.

Cities that already exist will look very different from new cities that will arise. I remember recently reading an article about a city that they are planning to build somewhere in the Middle East. It said that the entire city will have an environmental control system to keep it cool in the desert heat. I think that an ideal new city will take care of all transportation. Nobody will be driving cars. It should be easy for all people to get anywhere they need to with some kind of automated system. They should also have an efficient way to get good into the city. Perhaps they could bring containers of good into the city through some kind of underground tunnels. I agree that buildings will probably keep getting taller. Renewable energy will become more and more pervasive.
A Drone era coming baby. You will see thousands of drone flying in the sky in your life time. Drone can do many things that human can't do.
The future may have a vague picture dominated by flying cars and decentralized currency and Artificial intelligence and interplanetary travel because the latest blockchain technology focus to think in this way and show the era of shining technology in future,
Safe flying vehicles for individuals and people will be less busy with robots. In short, the robots will be happier in three centuries, and poverty will be completely eradicated if there is no war between the nations.
If you are watching Sci-Fi movies, futuristic cartoons / anime's there will be a resemblance to what's being shown to those shows.
I'm not telling that it will completely be like that but there will be flying cars, cities will be more hyper and lively because of the technology that will be applied.
Massive floating screens will also be there to broadcast something. There's no need to stick it to any billboards or buildings. It will be an interface monitor where it will just pop if there's an announcement / event.

Interesting features you mentioned, but they aren't far off from what our future will be like! You're right... no flying cars yet (although how cool would it be if we could live like the Jetsons?) but with semi-automated cars and super high tech head up displays with augmented reality features, we certainly will have a tech-powered future. I heard manual cars and older smartphones will soon be obsolete, making way for VR headsets and AR glasses. Even A-list celebs have begun investing in them. How do you feel about these devices being key in living and surviving in the future?
For real those manual cars will be no longer found elsewhere unless it will become a collectors item.
These items for surviving in the future won't be necessary for average living citizens but just like today it will play a part to the economy which will be used by several companies to improve their productivity and effectiveness.
Somewhere I read that the cities will be covered with a dome. Since every year the ozone layer is getting thinner.
