Pretty accurate?

Wind farms... trash cans that tell you when they're full... half the world's population on the internet... really? Did CNN have a contest to see who could come up with the most uninspired, unambitious vision of the future?

The city of tomorrow will be almost identical to the city of today.

HAHAHA!

Not enough flying cars and suicide booths.

I think there will be town towers, or tall buildings that not only house people but also small recreational areas like parks and such as well as shops and the like....cities within a city.

There's already buildings like those. Not to such a vast extent as towns. But luxury goods, coffee shops, maybe a rooftop garden, et cetera. Some of those places have a gym for residents too.

Whenever I read about those places it just makes me think of the dystopian murder-fest that is J. G. Ballard's High Rise.

"If you can smell garlic, everything is all right..."

This.

The city of tomorrow will be characterized by far more than minor conveniences and more trash production.

Limitless energy, powered by fusion. Almost unbreakable carbon materials.

This enables cities which are miles tall. Energy will never be a problem again. Pollution rates will drop sharply with the rise of clean fusion energy. Overpopulation will be nonexistent through the construction of towering residential areas. We'll be able to mass-produce food at astronomical rates, with more space and more energy. Water will be available without limit as we can simply burn some of our hydrogen fuel, rather than fusing it.

The city of the future is a utopia of limitless resources and potential.

That, or we destroy ourselves over oil and the city of the future is a medieval village.

Precisely why the future will have more advanced versions as it's both logical and economical with the way we populate the poop out of this planet

A self sustained structure is even better.

We need underground cities. Where's Vault-Tec when you need them?

I wonder at the effect this will have on the human psyche. It's all very well imagining people crammed like sardines into huge pyramids, or hoisted miles up into the air, but a lot of people aren't going to want to live like that.
