Ok, here is a cheap shot of a dream. Future cities like mega malls with a thousand shops facing inside and a thousand homes facing outside, one to one. Roads would be marbled floors and cars would be electric scooters with a basket enough to buy groceries around.
For those who like the outdoors, just get your off road vehicle and face the indomitable and untouched nature. No paved roads, no concrete, nothing outside these habitable malls interconnected by hyperloops. Of course there will be supply roads for trucks but they will be just like highways interconnecting mega farms to mega malls.
Nah, scratch that, there is nothing like a house in the suburbs with a huge yard and a barbecue.

- maxsilver 9y agoI'm on board, but Urbanists would never let you build that. They already complain about regular old skywalks "destroying the urban fabric".
- samstave 9y agoHave you ever been to Singapore? The massive underground mall-halls are sort of like this.
- wyager 9y agoYour dream is similar to that espoused by futurist filmmaker Samuel Hyde in his TEDx talk. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-yFhR1fKWG0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-yFhR1fKWG0

- sushid 9y agoYou're just describing mega-malls they have in SE Asia. Singapore and Thailand have some of the biggest ones.
