  • Well My first opinion is Chicago because of it's urban new style then los angeles

  • Los Angeles looks like the most do able.........

  • Water will be the most expensive resource 2:46 globally. Ever hear of fire? Boil and evaporate sea water kills micro-organisms, removes salt and other solids and makes it drinkable.....and thats 80% of our planet.

  • who cares! I wont be alive in 100 years. And if i am ill be too old and wont even care.

  • @ProjectDecade Well said, In one persons life time we've gone from horse drawn carriages to well.. look around you XD

  • Why is this on the History Channel?

  • The History Channel? What?

  • 100 years? thats nothing in time. do ATLEAST 1000

  • Isn't this programme sort of contradictory to the name of the channel?

  • @SpaceHula NO it is not. As in this WIDER CONTEXT and fundamental interpretation of MEANING... HISTORY deals with events in a determined timeFRAME.....however it DOES NOT deal with particular timeFLOW that would imply focus on the past as an arbitrary Direction. ;) you're welcome

  • @TweaksInYaBrain Thank you, but since History is previous time it can transcend the boundaries of reality and has the capability to use devices such as history as a medium to create a flow of time powerful enough to initiate the stoppage of the fabric of spacetime therefore you are wrong.

  • Everybody should check out The Venus Project! These arcitects had 1 week to come up with an idea. The Venus Project have been thinkin for 50 years!

  • the top three cities? how 'bout the top 10

  • The cities of the future will be in the mountains and on the Moon and on Mars. Hell, if we invent faster than light travel we might even colonize that new planet we found.

  • Come on. Anybody ever seen NYC in 1960? It's 50 years later. Compare and contrast..

  • Tear down all those high-risers: The future of the [commercial] city will be built in cyberspace. The industrial component of the city will be relatively low-density but also internet-based remote controlled, and heavily robotic. The residential component will be very low-density and very "leafy" and green. Transport mainlines will be underground, fully automated, and PRT network-based. End of story.

  • trees were made to suck up our pollution while we ruin the atmosphere but once we found the solar panel and wind/water turbines we can cut down the entire forest of brazil with the only thing in mind being the poor living creatures..the US was the trail blazer but we dont have the drive to tear down our skyscrapers for the new future..we will be the losers because we have no where to build our future, but brazil does because they waited for the future to come before wasting land, without knowing

  • Cities will become more complex, that is for sure. RESPECT for others and nature is what can make our lives better.

  • WHAT A WASTE OF TIME VIEWING

  • this is dumb! why dont you let us design it instead of retarded idiots! the internet could design so much more beautiful cities then these retarded ugly cities and buildings like the freedom towers wtf kinda shit is that?!

  • @903harman I actually agree

    and you live in east texas?

  • @903harman Yeah, I want Blade Runner!

  • is it just me or does any1 else hate that "future" look??? its seems like everything is white

  • ppl are retarded. in 100 years water will be just as cheap if not cheaper than it is today cus desalination technology will be hella advanced and easier and water from the oceans will be used

  • @drshields1988 Thankyou!! I so badly want to punch people in the face when they make out water is going to be a precious resource. People in charge of environmental policy and design should have a scientific knowledge of their damn field!

  • That was funny showing the city sky line and LA was full of smog

  • they didnt even show the cities what a piece of shit vid who gives a fuck about global warming show some massive buildings with lasers and flying cars

  • Were gonna get a spiritual connection with the water? Atleast thats what i heard :D

  • if it's the history channel, then why is it about the future?

  • 2012 the end! no future!

  • can somebody tell me,whats the most congested city in the world right now????. . i think its manila. . . .

  • @venom27ify tokyo

  • Actually the three largest cities in "America" (The Western Hemisphere) are São Paulo, Ciudad de México and New York City.

    They had some good ideas though!

    Look up Eugene Tsui for buildings of the future. The concept of Eric Owen Moss Architects of Los Angeles looks similar to some of his designs.

  • I see smoke not LA, please tell me that was fog not smog.

  • I think because of the growing global population in the future we won't have any other but to build taller buildings…take for example china, they torn down houses to replace them with modern buildings because of the lack of space and houses take up too much space.

  • Its impossible to know what a future city might look like. We don't know what technological advancements might occur in the next 100 years. Technology doesn't even advance at a constant pace.

  • society projects

    upworldgov

    geniocracy

    paradism

    .

    ~ within 25 years ~

    .

    "wow! the owl" is it! :)

  • seeing stuff like this is the reason I'm majoring in architecture,,,unfortunately the job can be very mundane.

  • in the future everyone well be listening to french lounge music

  • LA is messed up.

  • @beanerNtwinkie I agree with you, but on the other hand, watching this gave me insight. In some respects, I can actually see L.A. becoming very high tech as was/is San Francisco in the New Star Trek Movie.

  • Yea, talk about photochemical air right? "New york, chicago, and WTF IS THAT?? o.. LA!"

  • american cities will look like manila shantytowns a hundred years from now. it'll be like haiti all over. tragic. economy is FUCKED. giggles!

  • Haha no... I go to Los Angeles all the time to visit my mom... Trust me you can see clearly and yes they have blue skies

  • Is LA seriously THAT polluted? 0:15

  • our Earth is so Warm beacause of Evation this is Suck!

  • Though I keep looking, I've yet to see anything as well thought out as TheVenusProject. How can there be a competion to design a city of the future without including Jacque Fresco who has already offered the most environment friendly city which recycles on a scale well beyond these.

  • I've seen his designs as well. Though why is it that he never thought about pneumatic tube transportation or even come up with designs for the lunar colonies and space habitats? Jacque Fresco has designs for space stations, but never talked about space elevators.

  • I've seen Jacque's sketch of tube system starting from a distribution center and leading to homes for delivering products, he thought deeply about concept.

    He has lunar colony designs but always says we should apply a sustainable system here first by removing the need for prisons, redundent waste, bigotry, starvation, debt slavery, etc, or else nations will be moving nuclear bombs to Mars etc, 'Wait' until we 'mature' by feeding & giving shelter to Earths people or we will destroy Mars too.

  • What I meant was the tube system would have human transport to them as well... of course that isn't within our current capability and he only works within it, but I wonder if he has ever speculated about it and have concept designs to other things like orbital rings and Dyson spheres... after all he's also a futurist.

    And seems like it's too late for our moon, as we are expected to be back there in 2020 lol. But for Mars I hope we can evolve before then.

  • Grr way too fast paste, I have a headache!!!

  • ima say huge multi level wall surrounded super city with huge cidadel/big ass tower that goes into stratusphere in middle of the city for all military needs launching planes/mettings/alarm/com center/hospital/police dispatch/lighthouse for flying cars/power plant [has a huge fusion reactor core] and if needed it could be turned into a the mother of all weapons

  • wake up and , smell the ashes ...

  • harvard??!?! Do we really have to have all thoughts and knowledge be centralized in the American college education system? History channel hardly ever goes over seas to see Japan or Europe on what are possible cities for the ENTIRE world not just America? And what is to say that those from HARVARD won't just keep up the same soceity values inherent in designs today for the awful city plans we are all living in right now? taller buildings with fancy shape and glorified corporate power?

  • Agreed.People think they are important by giving you thumbs down lol.The Japanese are intense when it comes to engineering.

  • that was crap they didnt even show each city in detail!!

  • @beswick1111 2012 the end! no future

  • @tonyreno123 You seriously believe that crap? They don't eve have any real scientific proof.

  • los angeles will not exit in 100 years

  • Peter does a bi-weekly radio address on the zeitgeist homepage. He often spends 90 minutes or so answering peoples' questions.

  • what? ummm wont u google future farming. your hypothisis of the future is not even a good one.

  • down with whitey

  • Down with all races who have the blood of the Innocent on their hands, have plotted against other peoples for their benefit and manipulated the masses to do their dirty work....Well, that would be all of us and humans would be gone! Grow up....The troubles of the world are not wielded by whites alone. All races have their devils............

  • then every race is guilty

  • Yup....

  • Why can't we have floating buildings...Like Pyramids and squares in the sky >.>

  • Wait... how does the History Channel know anything about the future? I don't trust them...

  • In my opinion, the future cities will look like open fields, becouse when people disapears, dust will cover the cities, and makes them underground. The fast changing climate shows it. It wont be only flooding!!! ;)

  • check the Venus Project

  • I can't believe they mentioned climate change and they believe portions of New York will be under water

  • believe it djurk stop watching the fox news network so much

  • @djtouchbass As the ocean rises, eventually, yes.

  • @djtouchbass new york will be under water, so will our countries capital copenhagen, so will the netherlands, so will hong kong, so will london, so will every major city lying at the coast. and its all our own fault...

  • @djtouchbass Climate change is a fact. Its just whether it is caused by humans which is under dispute.

  • to be honest, we all can't wait for those futeristic cities, machines etc to come already. but when they do we'll want to go back to 2009, sort of like in the 80s, when we lived through the 80s we wanted the future to come, but now we want those years back so badly

  • what's wrong with you? I'd rather die than live in the 80's.

  • it was just an example and that is just an opinion >.> goddd

  • the reagan and daddy bush years were bad

  • Who is this 'we'?

  • idc i wont be here i wanna kno wat it looks like in 20

  • Actually his idea of EPCOT is ALL of the WDW property. Research how WDW property operates. From the phone systems to transportation and water and trash movement and EVERYTHING. I never said that the theme park EPCOT is what Walt wanted. I said the WDW property. ALL 74 sq miles of it.

  • And the REAL winner is.....

    Walt Disney for his ORIGINAL idea of E.P.C.O.T.

  • And Walt Disney's original Idea of EPCOT was never built, because it was deemed too expensive, too ambitious, and unfeasible.

  • Actually. The idea of EPCOT was built and lives to this day. All the WDW property runs from the same ideas as Walt's EPCOT.

  • Actually No, His idea of Disneyland was built and lives to this day, HIS idea of EPCOT was not, which would have been a city of the future. Instead, they build EPCOT Center, a THEME PARK, NOT a City. And Celebration Florida does not count, because it is NOT what Walt Envisioned.

  • Mexico City is a good example of a city that is aready ahead fighting against the lack of water.

  • I WAS EXPEcTING SOME THING BETTER AND MORE EXcITING

  • i dont know.. either new york or chicago is goin win.. la just needs to let go.. they have earthquakes & smog to worry about

  • When we are thousands of times more technologically advanced we should build cities where technology is invisible, very comfortable houses but with a lot of nature around and less concrete and steel.That is what makes people happy, not bigger overcrowded buildings and streets.If you looked at the city of the future you would feel you are in an ideal green medieval Dutch village, like a fairytale village. Architects listen up: work with nature and stop excluding it from your designs

  • i well tell you what:

    at any year will all the lands and continans

    sorry im from germany and im dont know how continent will write okay we come back at any year will this lands form back to the Super continent

    i have hear it but i dont know

  • Oh sure have people design bigger and better buildings so we can fly a bigger and better plane into them! thank to the bush chenny nazi regime. They never left office the more in control now than when they were in offic FEAR FEAR! TERROR TERROR! RUN FOR THE HILLS IS ALL WE WILL SEE IN THE FUTURE!

  • im sorry!!! but that was wack

  • Stupid..doomsday 2012..but over and make future..this proven 2012 doomsday talking is little pieces of ppaers that been kicked out..2012 is a peace year :)

  • I have to be honest I think the Creators of The Halo Games, Command & Conquer 3 and Simcity Societies Got the whole Cities of the Future Right.

  • @Nightshift10000 the halo games are very un-futuristic. most of the technology in the games (besides faster than light travel and super suits) have already been surpassed or will be in the next 100 years

  • I'm already a skeptic tbh,

    what happened to the childhood promise of there being flying cars? - oh yeah, the budget.

    This is bullshit, the architects etc. just get too carried away when it comes to these things.

    They're the sort of children that, if you give them a toy, they'd come back to you with it in peices - just too carried away :|

  • maybe because they enjoy it

  • GO CHICAGO!!lol

  • why was there a slug on that dudes face?

  • fuck when they was going to show the shit it lagged =(

  • Empire....Hhhhmmmmm.

  • ★★★★★ [just watch it again] ★★★★★

  • why was this done by architects? they design buildings...what do they know about city planning? i'm asking...i don't actually know if what i just said is right or not.

  • "Engineering an Empire" with a positive connotation?

    Imbecilic Fucktards.

    Someone wake em up...

  • Kira is god

  • What is Xenu?

  • Xenu good

  • Xenu must be your imaginary friend.

  • The first thing we need to do is kill all the lawyers,bankers, and all the president's men.

  • I expected to see something like the Fifth Element

    but still the video is quite interesting

  • Hello everybody. I am psychic artist and trust me. Earth won't look like that in the future. In the future. All cities will be lifted above ground due to polar ice capes which melted entirely due to global warming. Each cities will be domed with bee-hive pattern glass (some how humans integrate nature with technology) and each of these "dome cities" is connected with the normal magnet train used in Japan right now. Oxygen is artificially made in man-made forest dome. Sorry I lost my precious art

  • I definitely could see this happening. In fact this is not even that futuristic at all other than the cities 'lifted' above ground part. The dome was already been envisioned and considered even for Dubai in the UAE.

  • The spirit also told me alot of things about how the dome city function but due to YouTube character count constraint I cannot type too much. If I found my psychic art I could post if on YouTube and show you what I had drawn. Unfortunately, I have lost it. By the way, the spirit told me that this the city dome name used to be a place called "Syria". Where is Syria anyway?

  • Xenu told me that all of the Earth's cities will be under his control in the future.

  • Xenu?

  • Yes, Xenu. Your deity is false. Xenu is the truth.

  • Oh yes, Xenu. You are most probably right but that is way way further in the future. Xenu will eliminate all the human empire until only a small human empire remains. I know. The city which I described is still very "primitive" advanced design. Xenu only will come and attack the human race after we have conquered and populated other planets in the future which is still along way to go.

  • Yes! Praise Xenu!

  • How could you say such a thing! Xenu is a human destroyer!

  • We deserve it. We defied Xenu and Xenu has every right to kill us all with lasers on his spaceship.

  • Whoa.... :/

  • Wait who the freak is Xenu? Well my volume is broken so I couldnt hear...

  • you really belive that xenu stuff

  • Not in the slightest. Xenu is that main alien guy who Scientologists really believe in. The point I was trying to express is that their belief no less crazy than any other dogmatic bullshit.

    But don't forget to praise Xenu/Jesus though. ; )

  • fucking boring

    go look at some movies from the 50's

    you'll get the idea that people back then had fantasy

    you see these guys are talking how many nights they havent slept - who fucking cares - you have no sleep anyway going to parties and getting drunk

    show us your fantasy

  • Allright if they want to make this happen?..

    Then whe have to first concern what 2012 is gonna do with mankind..

    If whe survive 2012, the humans are allowed to GROW...

  • ZOZO first off....your an idiot!second....uh the world can't be predicted to end in 2012 you dumb ass!and third....that 2012 shit is the end of the Mayon calender not the world you stupid piece of shit.and if we new that the world would end in an exact date then don't you think that they would have said how it would end?

  • Do more swearing!!, Give me hate!! feed me with HATE!!..

  • I think you forgot to take your medicine...

  • no one knows the day or time the world is going to end expect GOD

  • You're wrong. Only Xenu knows the fate of planet Earth.

    Sounds just as crazy doesn't it?

  • everytime they mention the three cities i've noticed the smog in L.A. hahah

  • lol! HISTORY channel showing about future :) :D

  • Instead of hamburgers, in the future we will be eating squidburgers!

  • How a city "looks" is the least important factor in my opinion. How safely, environmentally, economically and socially responsible are a lot more important.

    So I vote for whatever one has those qualities first.

  • *responsible it is planned are a lot more important.

  • Yeah, places like North Korea plan cities. Free countries don't do that sort of thing.

  • Yes, future cities will be very different from how these architects predict. Technology will change everything, many of these architects aren't taking the technological paradigm shift into account. Water will be a non-issue.

  • They are preparing for to depopulate us and then make new for the new world and the new race of people.

  • Holy crap at 2:02 you can barely if its LA or just a giant smog cloud...I hope that city's winner has a plan for smog sheesh.

  • they shouldnt have done it in a week...the best thing is to take their time in designing something like this....a week is too short.

  • this is if the world doesn't end in 2012 ... maybe instead of apocalypse we will have a "new awakening"

  • Agree

  • thats wat i heard as well

    there is a new sun rising in 2012

    not necceseraley an apocalypse

  • wow new york underwater wowwowowowowowo

    covered by a big strong glass wowowowow nice

    i hope they made dat in da future

  • dubai will look better in few years than all this presented

  • aliens build the pyramid. over

  • you sound so certain, how did you reach your conclusion?

  • I do believe the phrase is "Rome WASN'T built in a day"... lol

  • i think they will all look the same and i dont think the world will last another 100 years

  • according to scientists palnet earth is 4 billion years old, wath makes you think it won't last another 4 billion years. "duh"

  • the technology people use is going to destroy the earth someday

  • it already is..global warming..Car gas emissions--

  • technically it won't "destroy the earth", though it climate can make things excruciating for our species for thousands of years until the earth reverts back to its pre-human state. however, most likely exponentially progressing technology will fix climate, death, disease, poverty and many other human problems well before then

  • too bad we'll all be dead.

  • what the hell do you mean

  • oilybaby means that our generation won't survive to witness 2106. ;)

  • other shit might happen 2 besides that

  • other shit might happen 2 besides that

  • woooot NY

  • The future in my mind is a new thing and its so Amazing,even better then this.

  • Cool competition, but pointless.  We will have been long gone by then.

  • they would look like an empty and esterile field.. or a city drownd in shit :S

  • lol. You're an idiot.

  • indeed :P

  • wtf!

    all these cities look confusing-

    and the url u posted doesnt exist- not anymore

  • WOOOT CHICAGO

  • Jacques Fresco had a video called "Future by Design" and it's soo cool, but it would be like waaay in the future. But the designs are really good and he actually did animations of his designs so we could actually see what it would really look like.

  • what the hell did he just say rome was built in a day???

  • yeah it was

  • I think in the next 200 years we will start moving and spreading out throughout the solar system. We will never run out of drinking water because salt water can be used for drinking but now its expensive. In years to come it will get cheaper

  • people will be living in millions of years,even if the earth is destroyed? how? think about it...

  • Other planets.
