This article shows us various types of imaginary cities. Those imaginary cities often have a background setting of catastrophe, and human social issues that exist in reality are magnified after the disaster. These cities’ functions are also used to tackle the problems humans would go through. For example, “Walking city” describes a city with extensive legs that can let it migrate from one place to another. The imagination of “Walking city” indicated people’s potential worries about future environmental pollution. It also reflects the reality of the lack of public transportation resources. Another example is the film “Snowpiercer”. In the movie, people built endless tracks and a vast train to deal with the frozen wasteland. Class contradiction of society is magnified in the train. Upper-class citizens live a very different life compared to lower-class passengers. The film satirized the maldistribution in human society and called for deep thought.
