21st Century - Third Millennium Cities (TMC)
2001
Enter Third Millenium Cities - a site where you'll get to know alot about cities. In this site you'll be inspired to craft the future of cities - and learn the difficulties of building a city. First, we'll take you through the bloodlines of cities, and how from the ancient times, villages and communities were formed and finally grew to true cities. Then you'll find data about the industrialisation, developments and urbanisation of cities until today. In our time, our generation, we go in-depth to the problems we face today. And with birthrates soaring around the world and countries always developing, it is time we found a solution of these problems in the future. We present to you our idea of a compact city, a city that could be built in future to face these problems by using the third dimension wisely -height. Also listed are many other future city types such as even satellite cities and sea cities. You will also find our interaction page interesting as it contains a simulation game regarding the management of an arcology. Quizzes are also provided for each topic to check your progress and how much you have learned.
