Predictions about the Cities of the Future
Cities are built to survive and prosper. Over the years, we have learned to transform our surroundings
according to our needs. We have cut through mountains to make more land and created artificial islands
to make skyscrapers. City planning, as an organized profession, has existed for less than a century.
However, a considerable amount of evidence (both archaeological and historical) proves the existence of
fully planned cities in ancient times. Over the years, humans have made some mistakes in terms of using
an excessive amount of resources for cities. This gives rise to the question of how sustainable the cities of
the future would be.
We might be looking at smart cities in which street lights would only switch on when you are close
by and traffic light would be eliminated by smart driving. The cities of the future would try to save our
resources rather than deplete them.
An example of an advanced city is Kansas. Plans are in place to make Kansas a smart futuristic city
in the future. Planners are considering introducing sensors to monitor the water mains. Warning would be
issued to city officials when the infrastructure requires repair or replacement. In this way, the city would
never be at risk of having broken pipes.

dream. Amy Glasmier is an urban planning professor at MIT. She is a smart city skeptic who believes that
all the research and talk is great but gravely oversold.
