Strategize a Smooth Tenant-to-tenant Migration and Copilot Takeoff
My Vision of the City of the Future
1. MY VISION OF THE CITY OF THE FUTURE
By Markus Kerbs
2. LOCATION
Due to a shortage of space and utilization of individual advantages, entire cities will be found in
new locations:
o On the water
o Underwater
o In space
o On other planets
3. LIVING
In my vision there will be smart city apartments located close to the center and smart apartments
and smart houses on the outskirts of the city, with access to public transport within at most 750m.
Smart homes achieve a very low energy consumption though the usage of a variety
technologies, like smart meters. Furthermore, smart homes are totally connected
homes, meaning that all devices are linked with the home computer system, which allows people
to remote control things inside their home and automate tasks like the shopping process.
4. PRODUCTION FACILITIES I
o Some manufacturing plants will be relocated under the ground, many kilometers below the
actual city, in order to save place, but still being in a close distance to the place where the
products are needed, without directly disturbing the city dwellers
o Those plants can make use of
geothermal energy, allowing the energy-
intensive production to achieve
cost savings
o Due to the fact that nobody is bothered
by the production process under the
ground, facilities can operate day and
night, seven days a week.
o A special subway will be used for
transportation, going in and out of the
facilities
5. PRODUCTION FACILITIES II
Certain plants will be outsourced into the ocean and outer space (Space manufacturing) in order
to utilize individual advantages, as a cheap cooling possibility by the use of sea water or the
economical movement of materials in space.
8. SPACE ELEVATOR
o A space elevator will allow
towners to do long-range
travels and transport
objects to and from space
o Spacecrafters will be used to
continue travels in space
9. PRIVATE TRANSPORT I
o Motorized private transport will be limited
inside the city
o There will be intelligent magnetic streets in
the air which provide energy to vehicles
(e.g. through inductive transfer) and remote
control them autonomously to one„s
desired destination, minimizing accidents
and improving the traffic flow
o Park towers will allow vehicles to park
inside the future city. These towers are
directly connected to public transport
systems
o The entire city is emission-free
10. PRIVATE TRANSPORT II
o The ground of the city will be available for
pedestrians, bikes and small intelligent
short-range vehicles. Through this
concept, the future city can minimize the
use of traffic lights and personal hazards
o Taxis and smart citiy car-sharing solutions
will enable towners to shift to close
destinations
11. PRIVATE TRANSPORT III
o Small intelligent short-range vehicles will be
used to move inside the city
o Mid-range vehicles will be used to travel from
the outskirts of the city or from out of town
12. ENERGY GENERATION
o The biggest part of the energy requirements of the future
city should be covered by itself through Fusion
Power, Solar, Wind and Geothermal Energy. Thereby
should every complex of building generate at least a
significant part of its own power demand with green
energy. Otherwise the owner has to pay a certain
penalty fee
o The rest of the required energy could be transferred
from Space-based Solar Power, where it will be
collected through huge solar panels and send to earth
with microwaves
13. FEEDING SYSTEM
o Urban Agriculture will be one of the
major requirements in order to assure
the minimum level of agricultural
products for towners.
Total economic independence from
preliminary and agricultural products is
simply not cost-effective
o In the future it will be crucial that a city
has an effective fresh water recycling
system.
Additionally a desalination of seawater
could be necessary in order to stay
autonomous
14. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
o The core of the future city will be built in several
layers, so that space will be used in an optimal
way
o Automatic instant retinal scanning will be as an
identification and payment method
o The entire city of the future should have an Ultra
Speed Coverage without the need of any wires
