Carl Abbott

After reading, I was interested in the walking city mentioned in the first half. The residents can move the whole city anytime when there is serious environmental pollution and political oppression. In such a situation, people really have human rights and initiative. The author points out that such cities are not only hunters, but also gatherers and traders. Each independent city had a high degree of economic development and autonomous power. Each inhabitant is indispensable. The article’s “urban robots with huge extendable legs” is also a reflection of the unprecedented development of technology. In the future, advanced artificial intelligence and controlled nuclear fusion are two technologies that could turn every walking city upside down. In terms of architecture, due to the limited size of walking cities, more buildings will be extended upwards – the base of the building will be the same as usual, but the top will extend indefinitely like a banyan tree. Therefore, there are more and more  air buildings.

    Apart from summarizing some migratory cities’ concepts, I am curious to know why you think these cities are still not realized now?
