Can we have an awesome future city thread?

Kinda the wrong place... This is where we talk about what the future will be like, not post pictures of implausible scenarios.

I'm saddenned by you people who refuse to have this sort of dream. It's not a matter of proving that these designs are possible. It's not possible right now but you can't prove either that a newly discovered material will make them possible one day. I think you have the wrong approach to science altogether..

I have a dream that in the future we are so genetically perfect and adaptable that we won't even need these kinds of cities to survive - we'll have telepathy, night-vision, perfect adaptable bodies to heat and cold (and therefore, clothing will become a purely ornamental thing), photographic memory, stamina that will let us run for days if desired, levitation on the 'other' days lol, and permaculture-designed farms that grow food like a garden of eden. yes, it will be glorious, subtle, clean, silent, ...

Possible? Maybe.
Practical? Hell no. You could increase the packing efficiency of that city by 23487.4529502% by making a few simple adjustments to building code. Vegetation serves no purpose that can't be better fulfilled by atmospheric regulation facilities and hydroponic farms.
