Main Article Content
Abstract
The futures of four cities across the globe (Macau, Panama City, Brasov and Beijing) are outlined via a single graphic scenario with textual support. These futures are presented in utopian terms, whereby each city is projected to exist within a peaceful and happy state and within a pronounced degree of ecological harmony. Some explanation about how each city can get to this utopian status by the year 2121 is offered along with a description about the social and economic background that may be present then and there.
