Jacques Fresco had a video called "Future by Design" and it's soo cool, but it would be like waaay in the future. But the designs are really good and he actually did animations of his designs so we could actually see what it would really look like.
I've seen his designs as well. Though why is it that he never thought about pneumatic tube transportation or even come up with designs for the lunar colonies and space habitats? Jacque Fresco has designs for space stations, but never talked about space elevators.
What I meant was the tube system would have human transport to them as well... of course that isn't within our current capability and he only works within it, but I wonder if he has ever speculated about it and have concept designs to other things like orbital rings and Dyson spheres... after all he's also a futurist. And seems like it's too late for our moon, as we are expected to be back there in 2020 lol. But for Mars I hope we can evolve before then.
Actually the three largest cities in "America" (The Western Hemisphere) are São Paulo, Ciudad de México and New York City. They had some good ideas though! Look up Eugene Tsui for buildings of the future. The concept of Eric Owen Moss Architects of Los Angeles looks similar to some of his designs.
Though I keep looking, I've yet to see anything as well thought out as TheVenusProject. How can there be a competion to design a city of the future without including Jacque Fresco who has already offered the most environment friendly city which recycles on a scale well beyond these.
I've seen Jacque's sketch of tube system starting from a distribution center and leading to homes for delivering products, he thought deeply about concept.
He has lunar colony designs but always says we should apply a sustainable system here first by removing the need for prisons, redundent waste, bigotry, starvation, debt slavery, etc, or else nations will be moving nuclear bombs to Mars etc, 'Wait' until we 'mature' by feeding & giving shelter to Earths people or we will destroy Mars too.
When we are thousands of times more technologically advanced we should build cities where technology is invisible, very comfortable houses but with a lot of nature around and less concrete and steel.That is what makes people happy, not bigger overcrowded buildings and streets.If you looked at the city of the future you would feel you are in an ideal green medieval Dutch village, like a fairytale village. Architects listen up: work with nature and stop excluding it from your designs
Tear down all those high-risers: The future of the [commercial] city will be built in cyberspace. The industrial component of the city will be relatively low-density but also internet-based remote controlled, and heavily robotic. The residential component will be very low-density and very "leafy" and green. Transport mainlines will be underground, fully automated, and PRT network-based. End of story.
Yes, future cities will be very different from how these architects predict. Technology will change everything, many of these architects aren't taking the technological paradigm shift into account. Water will be a non-issue.
In my opinion, the future cities will look like open fields, becouse when people disapears, dust will cover the cities, and makes them underground. The fast changing climate shows it. It wont be only flooding!!! ;)
The cities of the future will be in the mountains and on the Moon and on Mars. Hell, if we invent faster than light travel we might even colonize that new planet we found.
Its impossible to know what a future city might look like. We don't know what technological advancements might occur in the next 100 years. Technology doesn't even advance at a constant pace.
ima say huge multi level wall surrounded super city with huge cidadel/big ass tower that goes into stratusphere in middle of the city for all military needs launching planes/mettings/alarm/com center/hospital/police dispatch/lighthouse for flying cars/power plant [has a huge fusion reactor core] and if needed it could be turned into a the mother of all weapons
@TweaksInYaBrain Thank you, but since History is previous time it can transcend the boundaries of reality and has the capability to use devices such as history as a medium to create a flow of time powerful enough to initiate the stoppage of the fabric of spacetime therefore you are wrong.
@yomamallama1022 Yeah I agree..to some aspect. Except in Halo the buildings are MILES tall. the unfuturistic thing to me is the use of bullets and such... and wheeled vehicles..and the lack of physical AI
technically it won't "destroy the earth", though it climate can make things excruciating for our species for thousands of years until the earth reverts back to its pre-human state. however, most likely exponentially progressing technology will fix climate, death, disease, poverty and many other human problems well before then
@SpaceHula NO it is not. As in this WIDER CONTEXT and fundamental interpretation of MEANING... HISTORY deals with events in a determined timeFRAME.....however it DOES NOT deal with particular timeFLOW that would imply focus on the past as an arbitrary Direction. ;) you're welcome
i well tell you what: at any year will all the lands and continans sorry im from germany and im dont know how continent will write okay we come back at any year will this lands form back to the Super continent i have hear it but i dont know
what i like most about this video is the comments below as for the idea i hate COMPETITION in the video the word EMPIRE i don't like it ...and so i'm not impressed at all and what about food? Agriculture, ever ask yourself what the people in this future city will eat ? each other i suppose...
Because there will still be people living on this planet 100 years from now, perhaps even your own children! By the way, please check your spelling and grammar so you may be taken more seriously!
Allright if they want to make this happen?.. Then whe have to first concern what 2012 is gonna do with mankind.. If whe survive 2012, the humans are allowed to GROW...
harvard??!?! Do we really have to have all thoughts and knowledge be centralized in the American college education system? History channel hardly ever goes over seas to see Japan or Europe on what are possible cities for the ENTIRE world not just America? And what is to say that those from HARVARD won't just keep up the same soceity values inherent in designs today for the awful city plans we are all living in right now? taller buildings with fancy shape and glorified corporate power?
everytime they mention the three cities i've noticed the smog in L.A. hahah
Jacques Fresco had a video called "Future by Design" and it's soo cool, but it would be like waaay in the future. But the designs are really good and he actually did animations of his designs so we could actually see what it would really look like.
Mexico City is a good example of a city that is aready ahead fighting against the lack of water.

seeing stuff like this is the reason I'm majoring in architecture,,,unfortunately the job can be very mundane.
Instead of hamburgers, in the future we will be eating squidburgers!

Were gonna get a spiritual connection with the water? Atleast thats what i heard :D
I certainly hope that oil will not even be a concern in 100 years, and that we have developed other sources of clean energy instead!
I think you forgot to take your medicine...

Al got Skills.
@903harman I actually agree
and you live in east texas?

I have to be honest I think the Creators of The Halo Games, Command & Conquer 3 and Simcity Societies Got the whole Cities of the Future Right.

wake up and , smell the ashes ...

Why can't we have floating buildings...Like Pyramids and squares in the sky >.>
I see smoke not LA, please tell me that was fog not smog.
Who is this 'we'?
lol! HISTORY channel showing about future :) :D
why was there a slug on that dudes face?
By 2106 will their B enough Oil 4 all these city designs?????
100 years? thats nothing in time. do ATLEAST 1000
Instead of building up, go down.
Is LA seriously THAT polluted? 0:15
Haha no... I go to Los Angeles all the time to visit my mom... Trust me you can see clearly and yes they have blue skies
Other planets.
@ProjectDecade Well said, In one persons life time we've gone from horse drawn carriages to well.. look around you XD
Wait... how does the History Channel know anything about the future? I don't trust them...
i well tell you what:
at any year will all the lands and continans
sorry im from germany and im dont know how continent will write okay we come back at any year will this lands form back to the Super continent
i have hear it but i dont know
indeed :P
Come on. Anybody ever seen NYC in 1960? It's 50 years later. Compare and contrast..
the top three cities? how 'bout the top 10
what i like most about this video is the comments below as for the idea i hate COMPETITION in the video the word EMPIRE i don't like it ...and so i'm not impressed at all and what about food? Agriculture, ever ask yourself what the people in this future city will eat ? each other i suppose...
Isn't this programme sort of contradictory to the name of the channel?
people will be living in millions of years,even if the earth is destroyed? how? think about it...
Los Angeles looks like the most do able.........
I WAS EXPEcTING SOME THING BETTER AND MORE EXcITING
you really belive that xenu stuff
@903harman Yeah, I want Blade Runner!
hahahahah that's true
GO CHICAGO!!lol
Do more swearing!!, Give me hate!! feed me with HATE!!..
Grr way too fast paste, I have a headache!!!
according to scientists palnet earth is 4 billion years old, wath makes you think it won't last another 4 billion years. "duh"
Because there will still be people living on this planet 100 years from now, perhaps even your own children! By the way, please check your spelling and grammar so you may be taken more seriously!
Allright if they want to make this happen?..
Then whe have to first concern what 2012 is gonna do with mankind..
If whe survive 2012, the humans are allowed to GROW...
Empire....Hhhhmmmmm.
they would look like an empty and esterile field.. or a city drownd in shit :S
what? ummm wont u google future farming. your hypothisis of the future is not even a good one.
harvard??!?! Do we really have to have all thoughts and knowledge be centralized in the American college education system? History channel hardly ever goes over seas to see Japan or Europe on what are possible cities for the ENTIRE world not just America? And what is to say that those from HARVARD won't just keep up the same soceity values inherent in designs today for the awful city plans we are all living in right now? taller buildings with fancy shape and glorified corporate power?
who cares! I wont be alive in 100 years. And if i am ill be too old and wont even care.
our Earth is so Warm beacause of Evation this is Suck!
WHAT A WASTE OF TIME VIEWING
