Pictures of Future Cities Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I need help finding pictures, artwork, etc of Futuristic Cities or Cities from other planets.

I'm having trouble finding it on the net, I can find some, but I thought the net would be full of more than this!

Anyone know of any good sites?


Thanks in advance!

Computer games could be a great source of that - lots of games have back drops or movies featuring cities. You could take a screen capture of the city scape in Free Lancer, for example... or, I'm sure any sci-fi adventure game would have plenty as back drops. Concept art could be a good source, too.

Tired of ads?

Found a couple googling for "futurescape", too... (I'm bored )





(that one is of a ring-shaped space colony, I believe)

Look for pictures of Coruscant from Star Wars. Pretty much the prototypical city of the future.

I know Singapore would have to go up

but imagine if you didn't need roads, how high would buildings need to get then?

Got spare money?

Why would you build underground? It is more difficult, becuase you have to move an immense amount of dirt (even more difficult to do this in a dense city), and no more payoff than building higher.

However, a Coruscant-like thing, with a lot of towers connected so much they are practically the same thing, is certainly possible. It would add support.

For pictures of a real city, look up Brasilia, capital of Brasil. It has a very futuristic look to it.
