Why would cities look that different? We don't tear down buildings for the hell of it, we keep using them until they break down to an extent where they are too costly to maintain. It's why cities have a mixture of old and new, mostly old.

The city looks too organized. Too many of the buildings "fit" together, as if the whole area had been designed and built from scratch at around the same time.

Other than that there's several things that are plain ineffective. They look good in a picture but you wouldn't find them in reality.

I read recently that a cure for AIDS is not possible, in the same way a vaccine for the common flu is impossible.

Of course, AIDS would be long gone if people stopped fuckign strangers, but nooooo. It seems the prospect of a slow, undignified, painful death doesn't stop them.

I'd go with well thought out high rise housing and sky scrapers. Spaced out so they don't cast shadows on one another, the larger free space areas could be used for parks, utilities etc. Transport would be mostly automated with 'smart' grid management. Local Thorium reactors to provide electricity and excess heat used for heating for local buildings naturally

Just spending more than 30 seconds designing high rise housing would be a good start. Pre moulded concrete and ass designs really set us back in the UK's mindset

Decent amounts of glass (because light and openness is good) and concrete (for cost effectiveness) is how I'd imagine it. Though I can't see a city ever having too much green and open spaces because the land is worth too much.

I think the Halo universe is the closest guess at what the future city may look like*. Bright, clean and automated....space elevator would be nice, one can dream I guess

I think the developers of Halo were a little conservative. I think we can do better than that. I personally think the reason the buildings in halo look so modern and Generic, is to make distinguishable contrast between the alien technology.

look at the world 50-100 years ago
it didn't change that much.
(Good example == european metropols).

This pic is showing a massive change.
I believe that certain elements already reached their "evolutionary peak"
for example the door handle, it didn't change since 200 years. You can't
make it much better or more efficient and same time CHEAPER. this is why
it probably will not even change even in 1000 years. U mad sci-fi fags? face it.

60 years ago, planes still needed propellers to fly. Now we fly in space. 40 years ago, it took 3 years to build a bridge. now it takes 6 months. 20 years ago Dubai was a desert. 7 years ago, the bay in dubai was just water, now its a huge hotel resort.

Who're you to say that NEW cities wont be constructed? You assume that people wont want to live somewhere ELSE other than an established industrial/urban area? Hell, China is building cities out the fucking wazoo for no reason, and is popping them up in the most unlikely places.

We could build a megalopolis in the middle of nebraska if we wanted to. and it could only take a 4-7 years to get a few high rises and some urban eco-friendly walkways and railways in the surrounding area.

I think you two are terribly skeptical of what we are able to do, simplly dont have the resources and funds to do so.

Space Race definitely must be the keyword here.
Since our earth does not even remotely have enough resources to build shit like in OP pics.
The current financial crisis is showing pretty much what problems we are already facing, the earth doesn't have enough wealth for us all.

The problem is, except for maybe Mars there is no other planet within our reach that we could realistically occupy.
by 2050, if OP is lucky, a single faggot will have visited Mars.
But for sure there won't be some cyber city like that there..

After all, if humanity really finds a wealthy planet within realistic reach that would allow for some fancy decadence like OPs pic, it won't be so quick to civilize it with millions/billions of peoples and build a rich city like in OPs pic.

Conclusion: OP's pic is a pie in the sky

Cities as we know them started due to the fact that factory owners needed large numbers of workers concentrated into a small area.

As travel became easier and cheaper, the density of cities went down and we started making suburbs.

Soon, a combination of technologies will not only make travel cheaper, they'll also make large concentrations of people unnecessary. Thus civilization will become more rural.

In 2050 you'll be lucky if you're left with historic sites.

Also, rotating space stations manufactured from asteroids. Much cheaper than launching payload up, with or without a space elevator.

That would be nice, but thats assuming that the power elite dont want to control the fuck out of you. Prepare for megacities to be the norm for everyday life, where grimey spoiled air seep into your lungs and you cant walk down the sidewalk without being shoulder to shoulder with a 10 people at once.

from a scientific perspective Induraes might even have a point.
The problem is the economic perspective.

First, let's look at it from a more short therm (thus, more predictible) perspective:
The world has topo much real estate because of the housing bubble.
This is a global problem. There is too much property.
For the next 20 years the housing market lays flat.
The construction sector is fucked now in the US and this is why there is so much unemployment.
Nothing is being built, there is totally oversupply, housing prices are STILL falling.
==> So we can for sure that in the next 20 years there will be no change - AT ALL

Even if there is some serious scientific break-through, the housing market is seriously fucked for now.

dammit wouldnt ya know.. i cant find it right now. Probably because its 6AM and i havent slept all night..

If i knew where to find it, i would show you. But i am brain daed. I dont troll about shit man. There is a military project utilizing electromagnetic frequencies as a way to calm crowds. Its not the same as ULF or ELF weapons being used as crowd control, that causes damage to your body. Rather its aim was to be more passive, as as deterrent, rather than a weapon of dispersement. Bascially it doesnt make your ears and nose bleed. It just kinda makes you apathetic.

There was a small mention of it on wikipedia (and many conspiracy sites) Specifically referring to the name of the project. I think i found it under "electromagnetic radiation" on wikipedia. Cant seem to bring my brain to find it though. Most definitely not trolling.

Good. It's a start on course to healthy skepticism and cynicism.

I know all about the dunning-kruger effect and why scientists need to have more confidence and take more chances but unfortunately you lie more on the "dumb person with too much confidence" side of things.

I can't even be offended as it's fairly true. I don't have degrees or any meaningful expertise in those areas (yet) but at least I want to learn.
