20 Amazing Future Cities Currently Being Built

people are always building new crap throughout the show, they just can't help it. Wherever there's a little space or money to be made, there's a Joker with a wallet full of cryptocurrency waiting to build a condo complex in it, but some of these new ideas are getting pretty outlandish, from underwater

cities

to underwater parking spaces to desert-based smart

cities

with the billionaire Overlord. Here are 20

amazing

future

cities that are

currently

being

built

. The 20th island city in the South China Sea, the problem with this one from the beginning is that it's not just a nation building a new city and making it shinier, it's actually a city that could cause an international incident.

These are plans that China has been developing to build a new island city right in the middle of the South China Sea, but this is disputed territory and, frankly, it's a super aggressive move and has caused all kinds of international concern. The current city of Sansha is the location that China

currently

claims is its southernmost point and says it now plans to develop the Woody Islands. Tree Iset and Drummond Iset into what it calls a key national strategic service and logistics base. This kind of stance is nothing new in China, but it does cause a big problem.

Building a massive military facility in the middle of this area is a very clear aggressive move: the South China Sea is one of the busiest maritime traffic zones in the world and, as such, is of great importance globally. China has plans to expand into its territory and reinforce its presence there, which would allow the Chinese Navy to cost. The Guard and the maritime flotilla will refuel and ammunition extremely quickly and will therefore redeploy even faster. This is of great concern to the international community, but particularly to the United States, who do not like this movement at all, I am not sure if this

future

city is really surprising, but its results. could be pretty shocking, that's true before you continue with this video, hit the subscribe button and click the notification bell right now or this centipede will crawl across your face when you're sleeping.

Floating city number 19, China. Next, we have another Chinese. City that is causing a stir of another kind, but people are paying attention. This is the proposed plan for a floating city that includes underwater streets that can be used by submarines and an entire cityscape that would literally be Under the Sea. It sounds a little crazy, okay. This basic plan for the city was drawn up in 2015 and proposes a city created from a prefabricated concrete body that would measure 150 m long and 30 m wide, everything would be completely in the ocean and would have its own cruise terminal , as well as a marina for normal boats and, naturally, a dock for civilian submarines, because who doesn't have their own submarine nowadays, something smells a little fishy about this one now, doesn't it, especially in the In the light from the first Chinese island we saw today, in addition to that whole boat thing, it seems that the plan included ideas to make the city self-sufficient with farms and hatcheries, as well as all the garbage collection.

Yes, this all makes a lot of sense. Under the churning ocean I mean, why the hell not? Sanity is no longer a requirement in urban planning or so-called sustainability or whatever shoemaker walks by when people come up with these ridiculous ideas, just stop it, the sea doesn't want or need your stupid poisonous City without number 18 the line Saudi Arabia back in 2021, the Saudi government revealed some pretty extravagant plans for a self-sufficient city called the line, it doesn't sound so crazy until you see that the city is actually

built

with two parallel skyscrapers and they reach 160 m long this banana borehole scheme is part of neom city.

The line is supposed to incorporate an entire cityscape within the two enormously long structures, they are designed to be 656 feet wide, 1,640 feet high and stretch a crazy 106 M across the desert, this measurement would not only make them the longest by a huge margin of any skyscraper in the world, but it would also make them one of the tallest the line would reach across the entire northwest country of Saudi Arabia, near the Red Sea, which is quite a distance away. , but the aesthetic of this proposed design is also so futuristic that it really hurts that the structure is covered in mirrors so that it reflects the entire desert landscape that surrounds it. presumably frying every ant that walks within a 50m radius.

It's also supposed to be able to hold 9 million people and has everything a city that size would need, but the future style, I mean, the place looks like the Jetsons live there. flying taxis and robot maids, as well as plenty of unnatural natural features like parks and waterfalls. I mean, after all, this is the desert. Oh, and in case this wasn't completely crazy, they're also planning to add an artificial moon, what the heck? number 17 biodiverse city in malaysia with a gimmicky name and a lot of concrete what could go wrong this is the plan for the biodiverse city is the result of a competition organized by the government of panang state in malaysia to design a floating city and This is what the architects came up with: it's an archipelago city built from three large artificial islands designed to be built on so-called green concrete stilts because, as they like to emphasize, the place is designed to be eco-friendly, so Of course, nothing.

Nowadays I would dare say that it is not at all sustainable and recycled, otherwise it would never be built, but the problem is that building things is still a process that consumes things and creates waste and ultimately makes things old things become obsolete and therefore, it is also waste, this is the perennial problem of all these so-called sustainable industries, in order to sustain themselves they need to emphasize that they are all recycled, shiny and healthy when in reality all production is still part of a broader system that has to do with growth. and infinite growth on a planet with finite resources is just bad math number 16 changdu future city china Next we have another chinese plan for a future city this is the future city of changdu and it is actually a plan to make the capital of China's Sichuan province is car-free.

The design focuses on the existing geography of the site involving a 4.6 square kilometer area

being

developed east of Changdu city. The idea is that they will create six types of villages that will resemble traditional settlements and these areas will blend together seamlessly. With the existing environment really crazy, the most modern and revolutionary thing that is happening in the world of architecture is to look back at traditional ways of life for ideas, maybe everything modern is not always the answer after all, of Anyway, this series of Each of the zones will have its own educational facilities, each with its own innovation material, as well as all the usual housing and government facilities in commercial garbage.

They are proposed to be car-free and will be designed so that all areas are accessible on foot within a 10 minute radius, in addition to the spaces themselves being walkable, they will all be connected to the main city through the so-called Smart Mobility Network number 15 acon City Sagal acon city is a planned city in Sagal that has not yet been built but the enthusiasm about it has been quite substantial, because the brain behind the project is Aon, an American singer and businessman sagales who announced the plan in 2018, was inspired by the movie Black Panther and it is said that Aon City will be like a Wakanda in real life, the thing is that Aon also really likes cryptocurrencies and has its own called aoin.

A big part of that plan for Aon City is that it will use the latest technology, especially blockchain and cryptocurrency, because of course it all feels real. legit, legit, the city plan will include all the condos and offices you would expect a crypto city to have, as well as a university, a hospital, parks, and an Ocean Resort because the last time you were here you said the city was supposed to de Acon opening at 202 sounds good, but unfortunately, despite being on the cards for some time, no work has yet been started to get started and there is now a lawsuit in the works.

Can't anyone build an imaginary city and make a ton of fake money without getting further into litigation? OMG, number 14 cough, the next city is now planned to be deposited in the variety of future places in the middle of the desert between Nevada, Arizona and Utah, it sounds a little dry, this is the brainchild of a billionaire because of course it's called Mark Lore who has decided he wants to own a whole damn city so he's just going to build one, is it just me or are all the billionaires gradually colonizing everything and we haven't realized it yet?

Anyway, Tosa City is supposed to be one of those extremely modern-sounding sustainable places that are a 15-minute city, meaning that every part of the place can be accessed within a 15-minute walk. They say cars will not be needed there and the design will focus on pedestrians and cycling, however you may need a car. to escape the Stepford Wife scenario in the middle of the desert, although the entire city is planned to run entirely on renewable energy, such as solar panels and water treatment plants that will be equipped to use water carefully and cars will not be the focus The main point of the design is that people who want to live there have to register their interest, it seems like it may be some kind of exclusive selection process, but who could say Japan's 13th woven city?

Now we have a new future city that is actually under construction. woven city being developed by Toyota Motor Corporation at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan. They say that the opportunity to build an entire city from scratch is a great opportunity to weave all the modern and most useful technologies that connect people and buildings and of course vehicles, it sounds a little creepy and controlling but hey, that's it smart technology everywhere now, isn't it the city itself, although it is highly connected? The technology in many aspects will also be made using traditional Japanese building techniques and materials, many of the structures will actually be made of wood, but people's skills will be replaced by industrial robots that look very Japanese, somehow there will be solar panels and many green spaces woven into the environment along with sensors everywhere and a lot of technology that allows connectivity at all levels, but I don't know about this smart technology, it just gives me the jitters number 12, new administrative capital Egypt Cairo It's getting too old, busy, noisy and full of all those people, so in their Infinite Wisdom the powers that be in Egypt have decided that they no longer want all the hassle of that crowded trip, they are moving the administrative center of the dirt of the city, but instead of choosing another place with infrastructure and no houses for the people who work there has decided that the best option is to build a completely new smart administrative city in the desert which seems to be the best use for it.

It happens to me for tax money, but anyway this is the new capital and it is proposed. To accommodate between 18 and 40 million people by 2050, they say they propose to create many new employment opportunities and new housing that Egypt definitely needs. It will never increase: it is an overcrowded place. Cairo has been under enormous pressure from the entire population. that has experienced in recent decades and this plan seeks to improve the quality of life of all the people who live in the new capital, it does not have a name yet but things have been happening here at the site that is 28 Mi to East of El Cairo, the plans include a large park, some lakes, approximately 2,000 schools, colleges and all technology and innovation centers along with a diplomatic quarter, a commercial district, a cultural district, an administrative district, 18 hospitals, more than a thousand mosques and other places of worship.

It will also have a huge stadium, a theme park, a solar farm with 40,000 hotel rooms and an electric railway, courting, it is nothing more than an ambitious metaverse of Liberland number 11. Now this is extra strange, it is actually a completely virtual, so can we say it exists? This is the Liberland metaverse, whatever that means and it's building an architecture studio in the metaverse, this so-called cyber-urban city allows people to buy land by spending cryptocurrency and then they can walk around the buildings as an avatar. I really do not understand. but maybe you canhelp me understand it, go ahead and prove me in the comments section below.

I know you want to be floating city number 10, The Malds, the region in and around the Indian Ocean is a beautiful plethora of culture and history. With over a thousand coral islands with lush beaches and coral reefs, it is only natural that they capitalize on the tourism industry while taking advantage of the almighty dollar. A unique concept in development is a sustainable urban development designed to address the challenges posed by climate change in the In the form of the so-called floating city, the idea emerged in response to the changing planet and rising sea levels. On average, the Maldives has a ground level of less than 5 feet above sea level, making the coastline vulnerable to erosion.

Rising waters and the destruction of its natural coral reefs, so in an effort to sustain the environment in and around it and at the same time increase the population, the floating city is proposed as a solution, this would essentially be a network of interconnected floating platforms designed to be environmentally sustainable. Maintainable and at the same time uses renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy. The modular design would provide flexibility to changing environmental conditions while also being resistant to catastrophic climate events and invasion by hipsters and millionaires destroying a natural habitat with their industrialization and colonization just as history has shown a and again number nine Amaravadi India In southeastern India, a huge 2,117 square kilometer section of farmland along the Chrishna River is undergoing a transformation that the new proposed capital city is expected to be among the most sustainable in the world.

The center of this Vision includes a 3.5-mile-long by 1-mile-wide green spine inspired by Central Park in New York City. Along with this there will be solar-powered buildings, electric bike routes. vehicles Water taxis an irrigation system that uses recycled water and shade trees to encourage people to get out and walk and all for the paltry price of $6.2 billion for steel at double the price that is the usual modus operandi of any capitalist-leaning organization By earning as many dollars as possible, they had to acquire the land, which would trigger the start of a land pooling scheme in 2015 whereby farmers contributed land for developed plots with the promise of receiving between a 25 and 30% return equipped with essential services and of course the The government successfully secured most of the necessary land in January 2017, but at least they decided to improve the existing structures and the land instead of demolishing it and probably They saved a few dollars by doing so.

There is an influx of 30,000 residents, including 12,000 government employees who have moved to the city and as the development is said to eventually create over 400,000 jobs and of course there is a commitment to sustainability that involves covering at least 60% of its area with green spaces and water with an emphasis on natural water. Concerns about energy consumption and production have also been raised about social sustainability and, as the city takes shape, it leaves many questions about the preservation of everyday life in a planned and rapidly growing urban environment. Urban environment number eight, the new Indonesia, is becoming a strange trend to try to build the future. innovative cities and places for people to be close to the islands, but at the same time it also makes sense, with an emphasis on the threats of climate change and the way the planet is crumbling around them, it may be a plausible solution to start from outside. and advance in the new Sentara is a geographical concept centered on the vast archipelago of Southeast Asia, but also has significant historical, cultural and maritime importance, famous for its rich biodiversity, vibrant cultures and already existing historic trade routes.

Imagine it as the commercial center of Washington. It will be a shopping center right there, within the new city. The Indonesian government has set an ambitious goal to relocate up to about 1.9 million people in New Sentura by 2045, with an estimated final cost of around $35 billion, but the government has also committed to investing. On the other hand, only about 20% of that required funding, although the government says the new Centura aims to be the first city in Indonesia to achieve 100% renewable energy adoption by 2045, and that success will likely depend of overcoming several challenges that include infrastructure. development financial commitments and addressing potential environmental repercussions As China's number seven net city moves forward, when a massive corporation unveils a master plan involving housing arrangements and smart technology, we should probably all ask ourselves at least a few questions: Are we still Are we going to become huge working drones?

Spy cities owned by billionaires where our every move is monitored and recorded. Who does this type of technology really help in the long term? Who really owns your data? I'll be here wearing my tinfoil hat and pondering these questions as we get a closer look. Look at another planned city in China. This is a new district proposed in Shenzhen by one of China's largest Internet companies. The city is called Net City and proposes that it will be an interconnected space of office buildings, residential areas and entertainment spaces throughout. With parks and a boardwalk, all united by that smart technology we hear so much about these days, they say they want to create a community that is active 24 hours a day, the idea of ​​working drones is slowly being introduced.

Now it's not like that. Naturally, everyone is wrapping all that tech stuff into a notion of sustainability and car-free human-centered spaces, as is trend number six Lizal Forest City China, now for another Chinese Wonder City where this time we're in the forest and apparently building. All of this creates cities in the middle of the trees, since we've all trashed every other place, so why not expand to the remaining places of beauty? Apparently it is called the first forest city in the world, but it should be noted that many people have lived there. in harmony with the world's forests for many millennia and that's just because people haven't built all kinds of chunky things there, doesn't mean there haven't been cities inhabited by humans and they all existed in the forest before.

Surprisingly, this is being promoted as a positive thing, they will claim that it will be a way to combat air pollution and they also say that it will be the key to redefining our relationship with nature. Well, I'm sure it would completely transform a natural ecosystem and fill it with many things. of man-made things, not to mention people, oh, and all that transportation and construction that a project like this will require will have nothing but a positive impact on the forest, I'm sure they talk about how sustainable it is and how everything It's biodiversity and all that. garbage, but it is essentially a colonization of an already existing natural environment that has its own biodiversity and will definitely be affected by the introduction of the city.

It's possibly a really silly idea, but who am I to judge oceanic number fives? Busan, South Korea, below. We have a plan for when sea levels rise and people are literally left homeless due to flooding. Great, these are the oceans of South Korea. Busan is a prototype floating city that will be equipped with the ability to adapt to rising waters and house the climate. Refugees plan to have everything ready by 2030, which is, I think, the time when it will be too late to make a difference on climate change. How convenient, my friends, it may be a good idea, but it's also a huge, stinking example. of disaster capitalism, this is exploitation and therefore a complete disinterest in the effects and potential reduction of global warming, there is a lot of money to be made when everything goes to hell, so it is okay to allow everything to go to hell. go to hell and be there. waiting with the solution when you do it cynical well not as cynical as all the corporations that are accelerating the irreversible effects of climate change to get rich bastards number four King Abdullah Economic City Saudi Arabia this is another one of those planned cities in Saudi Arabia Arabia, the Most of them in the desert tend to be, unless they are very old and have developed organically.

That's the problem with building things where there is no obvious place for them to be, many desert areas have no natural water sources and the infrastructure needed to support a city must be planned and built in its entirety. This city was announced in 2005 by King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz as one of the megaprojects that Saudi Arabia likes to create so much. In fact, six of these megaprojects were announced during that same year, but only this one took off, it was proposed as a huge, world-changing place, as all these things we've been seeing tend to be, but in the end it didn't become the grand scheme as it originally was.

The planned city had failed to attract the kind of investments they had anticipated and did not become a major manufacturing and logistics center by 2018. The population was quite weak, 7,000, so much so that, despite everything, Bluster, number three in Canada's orbit, it was a big shiny new one. The railway has arrived in this Ontario city and now there is a perfect opportunity for investment or exploitation as it will be transformed from a distant rural town to a suburb on Toronto's Easy Rail Link. It's wonderful to make a lot of money. This is the orbit. project that is based entirely on the train station that will link it to downtown Toronto will be located in the city of innisville Ontario and will be a hugely ambitious project that will transform the area beyond recognition is designed to support population growth and limit car traffic, there is also a lot of boasting about all the cutting-edge technology that will be liberally spread everywhere and, naturally, everything is intensely sustainable;

They're even including plans for drone ports and self-driving cars, as well as all the smart street and building connectivity we've seen elsewhere, great, number two, Nevada Smart City, United States, here we have another billionaire, Jeffrey Burns, who has decided he wants to develop a large part of the Nevada desert into one of those so-called smart cities with all the blockchain cryptocurrency oh yeah, he's a crypto guy so it all seems to make perfect sense to the rest of us, we'll incubate related concepts with clean water and energy, the place is called Innovation Park and it's right next to the huge hips of other big hitters in the tech industry that you know, like Google, Apple, Tesla and all those guys, so Jeff feels like a part of that Desert Tech action for his company's cool blockchain name, Jeff, the vague idea is that it will be a city.

Business/residential community, sounds great, especially when the guy in charge got lucky by clearing his ether tokens before they completely collapsed and became useless. I definitely want to live here, don't you? Helsinki, Finland's number one bunker city, so we've seen all sorts of potential eco-cities, various smart cities for billionaires and all those crazy plans that seem to dwell in the minds of optimists, but the next one is firmly rooted in the fear of the Apocalypse, oh how absolutely hilarious, yes this is from Finland. Bunker City Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is one of the most important places in the world that operates an absolutely huge underground facility in the event of a nuclear war, there are also swimming pools and a children's playground.

In fact, Helsinki has no less than 5,500 bunkers and that is enough. room to keep the entire city population at 1.3 million, this is not because they are much more paranoid than the rest of us, but because Russia's neighbor Finland even used to be part of the Russian Empire, all buildings here that are larger than 12200 Square have to be designated air raid shelters and there is the huge collection of bunkers in the capital. There's a little bit of everything there too, from churches to meeting rooms, even art galleries. It's a surprising and slightly terrifying insight into the reality of life. next to Russia, we should start digging now, well that's it for the kingdom of future cities, which of these impressed you the most, let me know in the comments below, be sure to check out the other interesting things featured in the screen and I'll see you next time
