In the reading, several imagined cities were introduced. For example, walking cities can change their position, and the distributed city is network-connected but physically separate. In my view, apart from their elaborate design, what is more important is to understand the solution they provide to the problems in reality. If a city has legs, it can reduce losses by quickly move away when a catastrophe occurs. Furthermore, the distributed city allows people in different places in the world to cooperate more easily, improve work efficiency and speed up the process of globalization. Although most cities in the martial only appear in science fiction movies, They are closely connected with or even as a guide to real life, and that is what we need to discover and consider.
