7. Old Walled City of Shibam
5-11 storeys building
buildings stand close together in a small area
Bricks get thinner goingup the building, making a trapezium
shape of the building
making the buildingstrongand stable
lower centre of gravity
some buildinglinked together bymid-air
corridor. people can move through the
buildings easily,this increase walkability.
They may also fight back when attacked by
enemy
Main Income : Trading and agriculture. Shiban was a stopping point for
traders traveling along the frankincense and spice routes. It also produce
frankincense that bringthem wealth.’
Conclusion: The city was once destroyed by flood, infrastructure such as
dam should be built.The mayor of the city should ensure the safety of the
citizens and the city. It has great walkability(mid-air corridor) that I can
refer to.

9. Ziggurat Dubai Carbon Neutral
Pyramid,Dubai
 Towering 1.2km. Cover 2.3 square kilometers and will be able
to sustain up to 1 million people
 Whole cities can be accommodated in complexes which take up
less than 10% of the original land surface
 The tightly knit city will also feature a super efficient public
transportation system that runs both horizontally and vertically
leads to car free situation
 Facial recognition technology for security purposes
 carbon neutral system producing zero carbon dioxide
emissions.

communities inside the pyramid.
 An ecosystem, full of vegetation, mild temperatures and
regular rainfall, may make this a highly marketable city for
people living in dry desert conditions.
Shimizu TRY 2004 Mega-City Pyramid, Shimizu
 2km high 8km2 foundation area space of only 1/47 of
metropolis’ area
 accommodate 1,000,000people
 proposed structure is so large that it cannot be built with
currently available materials, due to their weight. The design
relies on the future availability of super-strong lightweight
materials based on carbon nanotubes
 Location : sea . renewable energy, mostly of the sea, the sun
and the wind
 accelerating walkways, inclined elevators, and a personal rapid
transit system where automated pods would travel within the
trusses

12. Office tower residentialarea
Conclusion:
Ziggurat Dubai Carbon Neutral Pyramid,Dubai is an good future city
example. The city is eco-friendly as it is carbon neutral. Besides,
technology of the city makes the city livable in a desert.
Shimizu TRY 2004 Mega-City Pyramid is a huge skyscraper city, its
structure is very special. The skyscraper city is like a skeleton holding
buildings within the structure.
Both of the city benefits itself by utilised its surroundings
environment. For instances, the carbon neutral pyramid is built in a
desert, desert is highly exposed to sunlight that provides energy to
the city through solar panels. Shimizu TRY 2004 Mega-City Pyramid is
built by seaside, it uses wave energy as one of it energy resources. I
will utilise the surrounding environment to benefit my city.
