If I say there’s a house as tall as the tallest statues in the world and long as the longest highway, where at least 9 million people can live, would you believe it?
Obviously not!
For the unversed, this is the upcoming reality of Saudi Arabia where one of the most futuristic cities in the world is about to build. Around 10 such cities of tomorrow are already in the construction phase.
Top 10 Cities of the Future With Unique Concept
1. The Line, Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia has the most futuristic city in the world with its 170 km long and 500-meter tall ‘The Line.‘
Though The Line is not going to be an entire city but rather a huge house, the concept is mind blogging.
The Line will be a mirrored skyscraper with a total capacity of 9 million people, that’s equal to Tokyo’s population.
From the outside, the skyscraper will look like a giant mirrored wall but from the inside, The Line is an open-wide area powered by renewable energy. The futuristic city will also have sustainable facilities with multiple bridges, green areas, and a transport system.
US Studio Morphosis is designing this futuristic city in Saudi Arabia. After completion, The Line will be the 12th highest building and one of the biggest houses in the world.
2. Woven City, Japan
Truly a city of the future! Woven City in Japan’s Honshu will incorporate the technologies of tomorrow. There will be autonomous cars, AI robots, sensor-based AI built-in houses, and many more.
Its simple construction is, however, the main attraction. The woven city will have wooden base construction with rooftops having solar panels and hydrogen fuel cells to power the houses.
Unlike The Line, Woven City will have the capacity to accommodate only 360 people. Only senior citizens, inventors, and young families can experience one of the most futuristic cities in the world.
3. Liberland Metaverse
Metaverse is the future of the world and Liberland is just the beginning. This metaverse city will change the concept of cities and nations.
Zaha Hadid Architects are creating a Liberland between Serbia and Croatia which will act as a crypto hub. People can access this city through their virtual avatars and buy land in Liberland using cryptocurrency.
So, if you are not into the crypto business forget about living in this futuristic city of the world.

4. BiodiverCity, Malaysia
Sustainability is a hot topic nowadays, both in the consumer market and global organizations. More and more sustainable options are identified and incorporated into our lifestyles.
So, it’s no surprise that the cities of tomorrow will have the same concept. BiodiverCity of Malaysia is based on one such idea where people and nature will exist simultaneously without hurting each other.
The city will be a pad-shaped island with houses made of natural and recycled materials. Cars won’t be allowed within the city and people should use only the autonomous transport network.
5. Chengdu Future City, China
We all have thought that flying cars are the future but that doesn’t seem a reality at all in futuristic cities around the world. At least not in China!
Chengdu Future City will have six clusters each with car-free zones designed on the traditional village structure.

The real idea is to blend nature and buildings to create better-living options. Chengdu will have buildings in a terrace-landscape fashion. All the buildings will be quickly accessible through a smart mobility network.
Net City is another futuristic city in China that focuses on sustainability.
6. Smart Forest City, Mexico
Close to Cancun in Mexico, one of the cities that will vanish by 2050, is developing a futuristic city with the forest as its theme.
Italian architect Stefano Boeri is creating a Smart Forest City in Mexico on a total load of 557 hectares. And it’s not only a forest city by name but will have more than 7 million plants.
All the plants would be chosen carefully to make the city carbon-free and rich in oxygen. These carbon-absorbing trees will cover the homes in Smart Forest City giving it a botanical garden look.
7. Maldives Floating City
Maldives is gradually changing its status from the most romantic to a futuristic destination. The rising sea level is the reason behind it that will make Maldives inappropriate for living by 2050.
To keep this beautiful island alive and happening, the country’s government is creating a floating city where homes will adjust themselves according to the sea level.
Around 20,000 people can live in this world’s first floating city.
8. Akon City, Senegal
Designed and launched by a Senegalese-American singer after his name, Akon is going to be a real-life Wakanda.
Akon city’s architectures take inspiration from this place in Black Panther Film to create a sustainable yet advanced city.
It would spread over an 809-hectare space in Senegal and incorporate the latest technologies like cryptocurrency and blockchain. The main aim behind its construction is to create more jobs.
9. Telosa, the US
Another single man’s dream city of the future after Akon City is based in the western desert of the US. Built by Billionaire Marc Lore, Telosa will accommodate a population of five million.
Telosa has, however, a different concept. Lore doesn’t want the city only to be sustainable enough but also a fair place for people where they can enjoy a quality life and earn fairly.
Marc’s dream city will cost more than $400 billion and ground-to-air driverless vehicles are already being developed for the city.
10. Amaravati, India
India never lags behind the world in terms of adopting future technologies and new ideas. Amaravati city in Andhra Pradesh will join the cities of the future very soon.
Up to 60 percent of Amaravati would be covered with greenery. Photovoltaics will be used to produce electricity, and water taxis and electric vehicles will be used for transportation to reduce carbon footprint.
These futuristic cities in the world are defining the clean and green ways to survive on this earth without hurting mother nature and making the best use of the land and technology.
With the growing population each day, it is even more important to figure out new ways to accommodate everyone.
