"The advent of autonomous vehicles will revolutionize our streets.
Once AV's are safe, on demand, and zero-emissions, “cities will be irreversibly
transformed,” Anthony Fieldman
“This is all part of a broader movement of achieving 'net zero' in the green building
movement with two key strategies: energy reduction and energy creation,”
Rives Taylor
"Public transportation—including better connectivity between modes and hubs—will
also be greatly improved.Also, public transport will be automated,and will be much
more frequent than now.” Gianotten
“Buildings will be large-scale and will be an ecosystem, like a city that will be in
use 24/7,” says OMA's Gianotten.
"They'll act as transit hubs and mixed-use spaces that better incorporate 'live'
and 'play' into the places you 'work,'” says Mark Ejnes, HOK, Los Angeles.
"Enter technology such as rope-less elevators, which can move up, down, and
side to side, enabling unprecedented possibilities in the architecture and design of buildings,” according to Gensler's annual Design Forecast.
“Energy harvesting will be a part of every surface or surface material we use,” says Gianotten. “Sun and movement—wind, water, and humans—will be used to generate electricity that will be used to charge the whole city and the mobility within.”
"Creating open space for commerce, fitness, and relaxation. This radically
pedestrian-centric streetscape would prioritize sidewalks and bike lanes over cars, encourage more outdoor time, and position urban centers at the forefront of
addressing our national health crisis,” says urban designer Uriah Smith.
"Some cities are already working toward these goals. In New York City, for example, where the population is expected to reach 9 million by 2040—walking, biking, and public transit will comprise the vast majority of all trips taken” Jane Meyer,
spokesperson for New York's City Hall.
Development will focus on hundreds of kilometres of high-capacity transit hubs.
To move freight, the city will turn to lower-carbon options, including marine barging
and rail; green trucking will improve last-mile delivery of consumer goods.
Because buildings are one of the biggest consumers of energy worldwide, they will
become their own decentralized, renew-ably generated power plants. Using
high-performance façades, photovoltaic panels, and geothermal and wind energy,
buildings will generate their own energy, while smart technology and the smart grid
will help them share it hyper-efficiently.
