Science fiction stories and films have long imagined futuristic cities with flying vehicles and geometric architectures dotted with greenery. Could these imagined utopias become reality in the near future?

Energy-self-sufficient buildings. Green spaces integrated into infrastructure. Interactive installations. Wi-Fi networks available everywhere and at all times.
