Part 1: Briefly describe one of the places where you grew up.
As less energy is required to construct new, efficient cities than to modify existing
ones, the best arrangement of cities should be to that of a circular design. Its
geometrically sophisticated design should be well enclosed with gardens and parks.
The basic design is that there are radial sectors divided being close to the central
dome. These radial sectors are surrounded by lush greenery and fields, with
concrete buildings that are arranged in circular motion. By having a city which is laid
out in a circular manner instead of traditional linear arrangements, efficient
transportation system could be designed readily to which significant time can be
saved tremendously. Several transportation systems could be designed such as
maglev trains, autonomous motor vehicles and lifts which moves radially. All of this
means of transportations are designed to minimize inefficiencies and use technology
intelligently. Trains which are operated using magnetic levitation technology would
reduce energy waste and dramatically reduce time travel between. Autonomous
motor vehicles are designed next to maglev trains to which both transportations
move radially inward to the central dome or outwards. Autonomous cars are
electrically operated with voice sensing technology, and sensory devices to prevent
collisions. For this city, maglev trains and autonomous cars are deemed as a
transportation method from home to daily activities. To move in a concentric manner,
train lifts can be designed to transport from one area to another area in one
particular circle. This circular route transport serves as lifts, trains, and buses
simultaneously.
Community which is sustainable should be deemed to yield ample opportunities for
personal development, social interaction, and participation. More community facilities
should be built instead of having a dense circular area of masonry high skyscrapers
similar to a fortress. More liveability is induced, all kinds of people interact in a daily
basis according to their personal needs and beliefs. The built environment is
predominantly filled with lush green sceneries circulating the city. Water system
which is filled from rainwater can be built in a circular manner similar to gardens and
parks. This idealistic utopia is sustainable as an efficient centric management could
be readily developed to ensure a city which thrives on a minimal use of resources
while maintaining high standard of living. The keyword is efficient centric
management as all of beneficial present and future endeavours can be developed
openly to ensure a sustainable living for the city dwellers. It is possible to achieve
this futuristic neighbourhood given that it must be pitched confidently among
potential investors.
