TV shows and Sci-Fi books and from the 1950s and '60s brought us images of future cities filled with flying machines, moving sidewalks, helpful robots and meals at the push of a button...
We never quite got there...but we do have internet, a phone in our pocket that does everything...a roving space lab on Mars.
But what do the visionaries of Today have planned for the city of tomorrow?
How about, instead of transit systems that go 100 or maybe 200 miles per hour...you could go 10 times that fast?
And what if, as our cities get more and more crowded, we could build floating “seascrapers” that harness ocean currents?
Today, where we live...a talk with designers, dreamers and a science fiction writer about the world of the future! And you can join the conversation...
What do you think the city of the future will look like?
