What is amazing is that none of these projects makes me think, "I would love to live in a town like this" or "I envy the people who get to live here ".

What keeps replaying in my mind is that every one of these projects is going to have to use currently available technologies to mine all of the minerals necessary to build all the sustainable, electric infrastructure discussed here. Not to mention that coal and petroleum fuels are still the primary sources for producing electricity. Hydroelectric dams are destructive to habitats, while wind and solar are simply cannot meet the demand. Seems that all told, the carbon footprint needed to build these green cities will be far more damaging to the environment than the current carbon emissions are. Perhaps it would be wise to develop sustainanlble ways to produce electricity, mine, and build these futuristic cities before embarking on an excercise in futility that only exacerbates current climate concerns. Heavy machinery is still all diesel powered. Electricity can't do the job of heavy construction yet.

Hmmm, The Maldives have seen no dramatic effect. There has been no rise in water, seriously. Cool project though.

Billion's of tons of sand removed from the ocean. Great eco friendly idea

Nice ideas but a pretty high price tag too! 😊😊❤❤

# 4 is a very interesting idea for a city.

1:42 this is an idiotic idea for the city,first it dosnt make sense building it,you have the desert. 2 if for exssmple massive fire started,it would be difficult to estingquish it. 3 if people in the middle part leave,you will be forced to spend money on unused land. 2:11 better idea then the first one,but they mainly moved capital so that it would be easier to hold control,it takes 12h to walk from Cairo to Egyptian new city. 2 they are waiting water,and its mostly for rich. 8:51 for this is problem maintianenc,sure it would be good on a smaller building (in hight) but in larger it would be bad,imagen if tree fell from the top flore on to civilians below. 9:24 ok its better 13:11 my god Tellosa,as last what I heard they didn't even find a location for the city,and also it will not be walkebel. Watch "Adam Something" for more info. Anyway great video

Owwwww boy..

Nobody knows what the future things are gonna be like. But we need to prepare for the coming of them - My Old Friend -

cool video bro

Man. Really gotta love how before the video even really starts, all I'm thinking in my head is how much this video reminds me of Dubai and how, even if I COULD (financially speaking) go there... I'd NEVER! Whole damn city built on the sweat, blood and tears of straight slaves, then here you go bringing up the Shite KaQueefka. Dammit its 2024...right?? 😤 But hey... isn't that a 'Johnny Cab' @ 11:07 ? At least reminds me of one anyway.

Why is this only available in 360p?

Take the line and connect the ends creating a ring. I saved half trillion dollars. Your welcome.

Just where are these places going to come up with the manpower to *build* these megacities? It'll take *millions* of people just to lay down the infrastructure. Remember what happened in Qatar? More than *6,500 people died* just building the World Cup stadia. The exploitation of migrant workers was rampant. Many had been shipped in from poor countries like India and Nepal and more than 50% of *them* had their passports stolen so they could not leave, or even *quit.* Do you think it will be better for megacities when *tens of millions* are required? Do you think that their builders will be housed, fed, clothed and given *decent* medical care? Where will they live *after the cities have been built?* Under the city in poorly lit basements? You can believe that they won't be living up in the penthouses. Do they have a place to put all the servants? Many of these countries *have* servants, in varying degrees of servitude. Okay, nannies, chefs and personal groomers may live with them. But what about the delivery people? Trash collectors? Maintenance workers? What about the labourers? Busboys? You can absolutely guarantee that these people will get sex workers. There are *always* prostitutes. Nowhere in the world is there a place that hasn't had them, no matter how confident you are about the ability to prevent it. Will the builders be required to supply their daughters or will they be shipped in separately? Will they be legalised? I can imagine that it may happen in some of the Asian or European countries, but in the Middle East? I am not trying to freak people out or turn your stomachs, but these questions *must be* asked. In America, people barely go out to *vote,* *even when we hate.our politicians.* Just look at the division that is currently tearing this country apart. What do you think will happen in countries where democracy is *not* their normal form of government? In a monarchy? The royals *are* the law in some places. And speaking of those who *will* be able to afford to live there, I can't help but wonder what will happen to someone if they lose their job or their ability to work? I haven't heard anything about how their citizens will be handled even whilst knowing how badly Qatar treated their workers no matter how egalitarian their country, even those who pride themselves on the equality of their citizens. If something happens to a person or his family, I just can't imagine any of these places having any social programs, low-income housing, *or* any help after a family (or group of families) has a run of bad luck. If you think that cameras are ubiquitous now, picture performing for the security companies who *will* watch your every move, every minute of the day. Now consider *working* for one of them. Imagine who owns them. Who will *run* those security agencies? It is well known that security work attracts the corrupt and criminal elements. The nightmare in Qatar showed that freedom of the press was also heavily in question. Do you think that your news would be free of censorship in such a place? If there is a bigger recipe for abuse and corruption, I'm sure I don't know it. Sure, these words *might* be bleak, but I haven't heard anyone ask these tough questions. Would *you* have thought about it had I not posted this here? I'm interested to see who has. Please comment if I'm not alone in my fears. You go ahead and live in a sterile, glass beehive. I'll take my chances out in the real world, where free people have a chance to survive, where I can still *see* the sun (without a magnetic tattoo or microchip)

When i'm thinking about of Futuristic Cities USA Las Vegas, Arab Erimares Dubai and Country of the Rising Sun Japan's Tokyo comes to my mind. About of that video I've seen that really long beautiful and powerful looking wall on a desert from pictures but I don't know where it is. Is it somewhere in Africa, Arabia or the Near East? Because of the War I really hope it's not in the Near East. I'm really an excited and interested of Cities defienitily Futuristic Cities are so an amazing because as a young only a 21 years old little boy, those Cities might be builted ready in my life time, can't wait it's really an awesome, thank you for the great video of the future! 🌏🌍🌎🏜🏝🚢🏖🏞🏗🕋⛩️🏯🗻🌉🌃🚘🚟🚝🛩😮

🟢🫧⭐ These upper floor circular platforms at seen at 16:36 could be soon landing platforms for VTOL crafts, in cities. Cities like the North Italian RIVA DEL GARDA City! Larger shaft that has an elevator and 4 thin suspension structures at the sides. Make it so

Think about commerce and maintainance

Keep korea japan china and other countries and nations safe 🙏 ❤

I prefer to live in my barnyard than dreaming upon this

Millions and millions of tons of concrete.

these are all aesthetics, for your eyes only, even if you include greeneries, around it the concrete willstill absorb and emit the heat creating the so called "heat island effect" ADDING HIGH DEMAND FOR ELECTRICITY, PRODUCED FROM FOSSIL FUELS!

15 futuristic prisons. As we come out of an ice age, the weather warms and if snake oil salesmen tell you it's your fault, you can sell your soul to em for redemption.

Will Big Brother be watching me?

The line is not gonna happen. It's the most absurd thing on this list

That Line looks totally awful. A potential slum in a desert. No thanks!

Seriously? My enjoyment of watching this 27 minute video was interrupted by 6 -- repeat SIX -- different banal "commercials" cutting in about every 4 minutes, not even counting the commercials at the beginning and end of the video. So a total of 8. Are you that money-hungry Top Fives channel? I will quit watching you and unsubscribe if this continues. Top Fives: do better. 😒👎😵

Where in the states is number 7 designed for? 🏳‍🌈

And also Akon City is a scam.

Video credibility took a major hit as soon as Akon City came up. 🙄🤷🏾‍♂️ Had to pause video. Akon City is…well… A Con! 🥴
