The Future City

Visionary urban architecture and design

Alyn Griffiths

A unique perspective on architecture and tomorrow's city planning

Over 40 radically visionary architecture projects of the most prominent design agencies in the world

A beautifully illustrated outlook on the leading ideas in architecture and city planning

What could our future cities look like and how can they meet the needs of future generations, while limiting the damage to our planet's fragile ecosystem? This book introduces some of the pioneering architects, designers and planners whose visions for alternative urban futures confront issues such as climate change, population density, infrastructure, transportation and digital culture.

The Future City includes over 40 radical projects grouped into five key categories: master planning and megacities, transportation and infrastructure, new habitats, green cities and urban farming, and smart cities. Each category summarises trends that will drive the development of future cities, with each project representing a unique vision of urban development in the 21st century and beyond.
