Perhaps "connected enclosures" would be a better term. The enclosures would be built gradually, incorporating present air-conditioned buildings but with air filtration systems added, and slowly extended to more and more areas. Many subway stations in Asia have a transparent seal between the tracks and waiting area which would be part of the enclosed zone boundary. You probably imagined a dome over a city when you read "encasing".

The world as we know it has these huge air filtration and CO₂-to-O₂ conversion systems called "forests", and I do not understand why cities should be disconnected from them (apart from perhaps protecting the forests).
