1.Introduction
For our final Elements of Natural and Built Environment assignment, we are appointed
as a mayor of a falling city and are required to come out with a proposal to rebuild a city of our
choice. The choices given are an underground city, an underwater city, a floating on water city,
a city in the air and a city on land next to a river or sea.
Before preparing the proposal, we are required to investigate and examine ancient and
old cities, present cities and future cities. Besides that, we also need to collect data that will
help us to understand the components and elements of a city. Meanwhile, we must
investigate, collect data and understand the type of city that my group had selected.
After discussing with my team mates, we decided to go with city floating on water. We
had done various researches on internet, books, magazine and encyclopedia on how to build a
sustainable city. These researches had helped us to understand on the importance of building a
sustainable city.

2.The City
2.1 Definition of a city
City is a relatively large and permanent human settlement. The city is a part of our lives
and our language: we might say, "I live in a city" or "I live near a city" or "I am moving to a
city". We know what we mean when we make these statements because we have certain
ideas about the city: the bright lights, the tall buildings, the traffic jams. For me, a city is a
place where human live and where technologies exist. City is a place where there is more
people. In games, village transform into town because there are too much resident. The
same goes when town is upgraded into a city. City is also a place where it is more
dangerous. At the same time, city is also a place where it involves economy, politics activity.
2.2 Brief history
Early cities developed in a number of regions of the ancient world. Uruk is the world’s first
4

city. In ancient Greece, beginning in the early 1st
millennium BC, there emerged
independent city and states that evolved for the first time the notion if citizenship,
becoming in the process of free
city.
2.3 What makes a city
In my opinion, a city must first have enough people, including residents and
governments. These are some basic elements that a city must have:
- Transportation system
- Education
-Tourism spot
- Utility source
- Security department
- Different type of building
- City planning
2.4 What makes a good city
A good city is a city full of sustainable features. Besides that , a good city must also
consists of :
-Good transportation system
- High education level
- Places for art and entertainment
5

- Emphasis the importance of sports complex
- Using renewable energy as power source
- Armed with different security department
- Using low energy consumption electrical appliances
- Discourage the usage of car, encourage the usage of public transport
- Provides many open space
- Promotes walkability within the city
- Good city planning
2.5 What is the future city
It is hard to determine what is a future city as it is different from everyone’s view.
For me, a future city must consist of building made from sustainable approaches
such as green roof, rain water harvest system. Everything used must be either
renewable or recyclable. A future city is a sustainable city. There are already some
country going on the route of future city : a sustainable city.

3.Investigation & Data Collection:

Ancient Cities – Babylon
Babylon was at first a small town
which had sprung up by the beginning
of the 2nd millennium BC (c. 2000
BC). The town attained independence
as a small city state with the rise of
the FirstAmorite Babylonian Dynasty
in 1894 BCHistory and all.The city of
Babylon, under King Nebuchadnezzar
II, must have been a wonder to the
ancient traveler's eyes. "In addition to
its size," wrote Herodotus, a Greek historian in 450 BC, "Babylon surpasses in splendor any
city in the known world."Herodotus claimed the outer walls were 56 miles in length, 80
feet thick and 320 feet high. Wide enough, he said, to allow two four-horse chariots to
pass each other. The city also had inner walls which were "not so thick as the first, but
hardly less strong." Inside these double walls were fortresses and temples containing
immense statues of solid gold. Rising above the city was the famous Tower of Babel, a
temple to the god Marduk, that seemed to reach to the heavens.
While archaeological excavations have disputed some of Herodotus's claims (the outer
walls seem to be only 10 miles long and not nearly as high) his narrative does give us a
sense of how awesome the features of the city appeared to those ancients that visited it.
Strangely, however, one of the city's most spectacular sites is not even mentioned by
8

Herodotus: The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient
World.The Hanging Gardens probably did not really "hang" in the sense of being
suspended from cables or ropes. The name comes from an inexact translation of the Greek
word kremastos,or the Latin wordpensilis, which means not just "hanging", but
"overhanging" as in the case of a terrace or balcony.
The Greek geographer Strabo, who described the gardens in first century BC, wrote, "It
consists of vaulted terraces raised one above another, and resting upon cube-shaped pillars.
These are hollow and filled with earth to allow trees of the largest size to be planted. The
pillars, the vaults, and terraces are constructed of baked brick and asphalt.""The ascent to the
highest story is by stairs, and at their
side are water engines, by means of
which persons, appointed expressly
for the purpose, are continually
employed in raising water from the
Euphrates into the garden." From
this ancient city, I studied that planting trees on roofs is workable.

Present Cities
PALM ISLANDS, DUBAI
Frequently called the eighth wonder of the world, the Palm Islands of Dubai in the United
Arab Emirates are the world's largest artificial islands, each manmade into the shape of a palm
tree.
In Dubai, where tourism is making
it one of the fastest growing cities in
the world, the Palm Islands are a
popular travel destination. But only one
of the three islands - the Palm
Jumeirah, the Palm Jebel Ali and the
Palm Deira -- that make up the Palms is
open to visitors.Claiming the title of the largest manmade archipelago in the world, the Palm
Islands can be seen from space. Each of them is shaped like a palm tree, but there are no actual
palm trees there.
According to How Stuff Works, the islands were a brainchild of Sheik Mohammed bin
Rashid al Maktoum, who decided Dubai needed a new role as its oil supply ran out. Sheik
Mohammed teamed up with Dubai-based developer Nakheel Properties to create islands for
the emirate, whose desert climate and short coastline limited tourism development. The
10

addition of the Palms in fact the coastline of the small emirate by 166 percent, according to
TripGuideDubai. AMEInfo.com reported that state-owned developers Nakheel benefited from
the construction, reporting a profit of $98.6 million in April and May despite global economic
fragility. One of the biggest fears was how waves could accumulate over long distances via
persistent winds and large currents potentially causing severe destruction to the islands.
Luckily, scientists say that the Arabian gulf is the perfect place for such construction because
with a depth of 30 m and a width of 160 m, it is too short and shallow for the creation of
immensely destructive waves.For the palm island, sand fill was sprayed over the surface of the
rising island. Calcareous sand was used for the reclamation.

Paris, France
With upwards of 12 million
inhabitants, the greater metropolitan
area of Paris is home to almost 19%
of France’s total population (central
Paris counts just under 2.2 million
souls). Since before the Revolution,
Paris has been what urban planners
like to call a ‘hypertrophic city’ – the enlarged ‘head’ of a nation-state’s ‘body’. The urban area
of the next biggest city – Marseilles – is just over a third the size of central Paris.
12

As the capital city, Paris is the administrative, business and cultural centre; virtually
everything of importance in the republic starts, finishes or is currently taking place here. The
French have always said ‘Quand Paris
éternue, la France s’en rhume’ (When
Paris sneezes, France catches cold) but
there have been conscious efforts –
going back at least four decades – by
governments to decentralise Paris’
role, and during that time the
population, and thus to a certain extent the city’s authority, has actually shrunk. The pivotal
year was 1968, a watershed not just in France but throughout Western Europe.
Paris has a timeless quality, a condition that can often be deceiving. And while the cobbled
backstreets of Montmartre, the terraced cafés of Montparnasse, the iconic structure of the
Eiffel Tower and the placid waters of the Seine may all have some visitors believing that the city
has been here since time immemorial, that’s hardly the case.
As for the city planning, the reason why I choose Paris to investigate, mainly because of
the uniqueness. As we can see, the
picture next to this passage shows a
building (Paris Arc de Triomphe),
which is connected to 12 avenue.
The centre is covered with massive
huge space for public usage. From
this investigation , I can define that
13

public space is very important and I would like to apply that concept for my city , whereas a big
public space is located at the centre of my city.
Spiral Island, Mexico
The first Spiral island was located in a lagoon near Puerto Aventuras, on the Caribbean coast
of Mexico south of Cancún; Sowa began constructing it in 1998. He filled nets with empty
discarded plastic bottles to support a structure of plywood and bamboo, on which he
poured sand and planted numerous plants, including mangroves.[2]
The island sported a two-
story house, a solar oven, a self-composting toilet, and three beaches. He used some 250,000
14

bottles for the 66 feet (20 m) by 54 feet (16 m) structure. The mangroves were planted to
help keep the island cool, and some of them rose up to 15 feet (4.6 m) high.
Almost all of the sand Sowa used for Spiral Island I was taken from the end of the
beach, where it came up against the man-made rock pier on the edge of the canal system
where the Island was tied. Due to the prevailing winds, beach-sand was constantly being piled
up because of the constant motion of the waves and wind. The beach sand was dredged out
using large machinery so that boats could
continue to come through the canal. Since
Sowa gathered 8 to 10 large buckets per
week, the builders of Puerto Aventuras Canal
did not need to dredge it again, as he was
doing it for them.
The island was destroyed by Hurricane Emily in 2005.[2]
The island was washed completely
onto the beach in one piece, and a small proportion of the bags of bottles washed up on the
beach away from where it landed. The roots of the 7-year old, 7 metres (23 ft)-tall mangroves
were intertwined through the island's base and the strong net that was wrapped totally under
the whole island helped to keep it together.
Spiral Island is the name of a floating artificial island built in Mexico by British artist Richart
"Reishee" Sowa. It was destroyed by hurricane Emily in 2005; a replacement, Joyxee Island, has
been open for tours since 2008
15

SPIRAL ISLAND II A.K.A JOYXEE ISLAND
British eco-pioneer Rishi Sowa began constructing his first Spiral Island in 1998. He used
around 250,000 plastic bottles to build a 66x54ft (20x16m) island which was located in a lagoon
near Puerto Aventuras, on the Caribbean coast of Mexico.Unfortunately, it was completely
destroyed by Hurricane Emily in 2005, but not discouraged, he decided to build a new one:
Spiral Island II!
16

He began to build his second island in 2007 in the waters of Isla Mujeres, the "Island of
Women", which is apparently a safer place,Like for the first island, he filled nets with empty
discarded plastic bottles to support a structure of plywood and bamboo, on which he poured
sand and planted numerous plants, including mangroves. The new island is about 20 metres (66
ft) in diameter and is set on ‘only’ 100,000 plastic bottles.The new island has beaches, a house,
two ponds, a solar-powered waterfall and river, and solar panels. He was helped by volunteers
for his project and is still continuing to make improvements to the island.
From this investigation, I can apply how they make the building float concept to my
future city.

Future Cities
Vancouver, Canada
18

Consistently performing well in worldwide “livable city” rankings, Vancouver has an
ambitious goal of becoming the “the greenest city in the world” by 2020. They already lead the
world in hydroelectric power—making up 90 percent of its supply—as well as regularly tapping
into renewables like wind, solar, and wave power.
Thanks to mass transit, bike lanes (248 miles worth), ride sharing programs, and
greenways, Vancouver has the lowest per capita carbon emissions of any major city on the
continent.
As part of their 2020 goals, they
aim to decrease emissions an additional 33
percent, while also enacting strict green
building codes (all new developments must
be carbon neutral) and improving the
energy efficiency of existing structures by
20 percent.
One area where Vancouver could improve is in their use of electric vehicles. The
Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association estimates there are only 20 pure electric vehicles on city
roads. This is largely due to availability, with the Chevy Volt only just released in Canada and
the Nissan Leaf expected later this fall. While there are only 15 charging stations currently
planned, city
officials are
19

planning more for the future and expect EVs to accountfor 15 percent of new vehicle sales in
Vancouver by 2020.
SAN FRANCISCO, U.S.
Atop the ever-shifting throne of green North American cities sits San Francisco, one of the most
densely populated metropolitan areas in the U.S. High marks for air quality, waste
management, and commitment to eco-friendly commuting options continue to separate San
Fran from its counterparts.
“Why do we do all this?” former Mayor Gavin Newsom said in a 2008 interview. “Because it’s
the right thing to do. We’re consistently among the top travel destinations in the world. We
think people are attracted to the values of this city.”
20

The metropolis—which was recently ranked as the number one green city in North America—
recycles 77 percent of its waste, reserves nearly 20 percent of its land to green spaces, and has
more than 497 LEED-certified green building projects.
On the auto front, San Francisco is considered the electric vehicle capital of the U.S., with over
160 public charging stations and plans to install an additional 2,750. An innovative “battery-
swapping” station is also planned for mid-2012 to service a 60-car EV taxi fleet. It’s estimated
that the city will have over 1,000 EVs and 5,000 plug-in hybrid vehicles by the end of 2012.
21

Oslo, Norway
22

With more than two-thirds of its municipality covered in protected forest, waterways, and
agriculture land, it’s no surprise that Oslo is one of Europe’s leading sustainable cities.
Examples of pioneering practices include intelligent lighting that adjusts intensity depending on
traffic conditions and weather, bio-methane from waste to power mass transit and heating,
and an “eco-certification” program that involves all 43,000 employees of the city.
By 2030, Oslo aims to cut carbon emissions by 50 percent—Norway as a whole plans to be
carbon neutral by 2050—and is targeting its transportation sector for the greatest gains.
Car and bike sharing programs are in place (including a hugely successful EV sharing fleet), and
400 charging stations have been installed downtown. Already, over 1,700 EVs grace Oslo’s
roads, all receiving free parking, toll immunity, and access to lanes generally reserved for public
transport.
The city’s heating system is currently powered by 80 percent renewable energy, mainly from
biomass from residual waste. This relationship annually saves the carbon emissions equivalent
to 60,000 vehicles. Within the next decade, Oslo plans on expanding the system to reach 100
percent renewable sources for heating.
23

24

Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen, site of 2009’s climate change talks, is a shining green jewel as Denmark’s capital
city. Like to bike? You’ll be in good company—as more than a third of the city’s 1.2 million
people regularly cycle to work via more
than 217 miles of dedicated bike lanes.
Officials hope to get 50 percent of the
population on two wheels by 2015 by
closing down some major roads to cars
and developing an additional
43 miles of bike lanes.
25

26

Besides having the largest wind turbine industry in the world, Denmark also leads in wind
production—supplying roughly 19 percent of the country’s power needs. A new offshore wind
farm planned for 2013 (featuring 111 turbines) will supply an additional four percent.
As part of their goal to be the world’s first carbon neutral capital by 2025, city officials have
instituted a mandatory green roof policy, requiring all new developments to incorporate some
level of vegetation into their building designs. In addition, “pocket parks” (half the size of a soccer
field) are being installed around Copenhagen so that by 2015, 90 percent of all residents will be
able to walk to a green space in less than 15 minutes.
Better yet, just grab your bike.
27

Vauban, Germany
The district was planned around green transportation (as with another city known as a global
beacon of green urban planning, Curitiba in southern Brazil), because, besides consumption,
transportation is the hardest ecological impact of development to reduce. While the district
includes streets, cars hardly ever pass through, and car parking is not catered for. Residents
who do own vehicles can park in a community lot on the edge of the district, unsubsidized by
the car-free households.
28

Pedestrian and bicycle paths form a highly-connected, efficient, green transportation
network with every home within walking distance of a tram stop, and all schools, businesses,
and shopping centers located within walking distance. “When moving into Vauban, 57% of the
households that previously owned a car decided to let their car go. All in all, 70% of the
inhabitants live without a car in Vauban,” Abellard reports.
A grassed tramway in Vauban.
All buildings must meet minimum low energy consumption standards of 65 kWh/m2
a
(i.e., at least half the average German energy standards). Public energy and heat are generated
by a highly efficient woodchip-powered combined heat and power generator connected to a
district heating grid. 42 building units are of the Passivhaus standard, consuming under 15
29

kWh/m2
a. 100 houses adhere to a “plus-energy” standard, producing more energy than they
use, with surpluses sold back to the city grid and profits split between each household.
Organic household waste is treated with an anaerobic digester. The place contains a unique
ecological sewage system in one pilot project: sucked by vacuum pipes, faeces are transported
into this digester, generating biogas, which is used for cooking. Grey-water is cleaned in biofilm
plants and returned to the water cycle.
Importantly, the project is being monitored using lifecycle and regional material flow
analysis with the GEMIS software. This is the first time that a complete urban neighbourhood
has been analysed with respect to buildings, infrastructure, electricity supply, heat supply,
water and waste, traffic and private consumption with a full life-cycle perspective and using
regional data. The gathering of local data was possible for all areas except private consumption,
for which national average data was used. Through this, the following provisional figures have
been developed:
• Energy savings per year: 28 GJ (calculated as "CER", cumulative energy requirements).
• Reduction of CO2-equivalents per year: 2100 t.
• Reduction of sulphor-dioxide (SO2-) equivalents per year: 4 t.
• Saving of mineral resources per year: 1600 t.
30

Freiburg, Germany
It's not surprising to learn that Vauban is the greenest area of the greenest city,
Freiburg, in the greenest province, Baden-Württemberg, in Germany. Freiburg, a city of about
220,000 people and 155 km2
, is already known as an eco-city with the Green Party having the
strongest presence there of anywhere in the country.
Freiburg's citizens are known for their love of cycling, with over 400 km of cycle paths,
separate bikepaths, and over 9,000 bicycle parking spaces, including “bike and ride” lots at
transit stations. The city has an extensive pedestrianised zone and a tramway network together
with feeder buses. 70% of the population lives within 500 meters of a tram stop, and the trains
appear every 7.5 minutes during rush hours with ticket costs subsidized to encourage use.
31

Traffic modes in
Freiburg showing
how cycling and
walking has
increased and car
use decreased, a
trend that is
projected to
continue into the
future.
Waste levels have been reduced by almost 2/3 since 1988 with waste minimization,
increased recycling (it is very easy to recycle everywhere), anaerobic digestion of organic waste
and the residual waste burnt for energy.
3,800 small privately owned garden allotments for the inhabitants to grow their own
food lie on the outskirts of the city. This number is expected to increase, according to the new
Land Use Plan 2020, the writing of which was done by citizens forming 19 working groups to
discuss potential construction areas and make recommendations to the city council. Local food
is also supplied by farm shops, a farmers' market, a local winery and distillery, beekeeping,
butchers, bakers and plant nursery.
32

Shops and offices are located on the ground floor of the apartment buildings, allowing
residents easy access, on foot or bicycle, to their daily needs, so that “no supermarkets will be
constructed on green meadows”. Renewable energy production is encouraged with tax credits
from the federal government and subsidies from the regional utility. In June 1995 Freiburg city
council adopted a resolution that it would only permit construction of "low energy buildings"
on municipal land, and
all new buildings must
comply with low energy
specifications.Every
building in Vauban has
solar panels on its roof.

A City in the Sky with a Sense of the Sky and Greenery (City in the Sky: A Residential Zone with
30,000 Inhabitants) An area rising 700-1,000m above the equator.
Here you find an energy-conserving compact city that is pleasant and peaceful, with
no strong winds and a temperature of about 26-28°C year-round.

A compact village with a walkable radius of 1km is defined as a cell (district).
Cells are added to form modules (cities), which join to form units (countries).
The Technology behind Green Float
36

We are gathering leading global technologies to do so based on a botanical approach.
Going Beyond CO2 Reduction to Carbon Negative
To create a city that absorbs CO2 like a plant, we will employ environmental technologies to
achieve a carbon negative system.
Switch to a Compact City and Conversion of
Industrial Structure (CO2 Reduction: About
40%)
• Reduce CO2 through more efficient
transportation and distribution resulting
from the shift to a compact city.
Energy Conservation (CO2 Reduction: About 30%)
• At 1,000m above the equator, the temperature is around a comfortable 26°C.
37

• n addition, we will adopt the newest next-generation technologies to eliminate fossil
fuel use and increase thermal insulation and facility efficiency.
Power Generation Using Natural Energy (CO2 Reduction: About 30%)
• We will fully employ a range of natural energy sources including space solar power
satellites, ocean thermal energy conversion, waves, wind and solar power.
CO2 Recovery and Ocean Sequestration (CO2 Reduction: About 30%)
• The CO2 absorption capacity of the ocean is thought to be orders of magnitude greater
than terrestrial forests. We can expect large-scale CO2 reduction and fixation following a
global agreement.
A Bustling Botanical City Where People Live in a Harmonious Balance with Nature
Terrestrial Forest —Biodiversity through a mixture of forest and farmland —
We will create a space for a thriving diversity of life through a mixture of forest, fields,
waterways, reservoirs and grasslands. In addition, we will place importance on human
contact with Nature including making places where people can experience agriculture.
Marine Forest —Biodiversity in coastal waters—
Around the coastal circumference we will create shallows while maintaining harmony with
natural ecosystems. Together with water purification and enhancing the biodiversity of the
shallows, we place importance on the relationship between natural ecosystems and human
activities such as shellfish and algae harvesting.

7.The New “X” City / The New NAME?
OVERDOSE
Why overdose?
The reason why my city is called overdose is to tell my people that the disaster is
finally over. This name is also used to tell people about the specialty of my city,
sustainability. My city is totally surrounded with water. This will give a felling to my
people about the best thing of this city is overdose, where you will not feel like moving
out after staying in it.
I decided to build my city on water because water is the one of the main
source that humans need. The important characteristics that make my city special are
sustainable lifestyle, whereas all the building is either covered with green roof or solar
panel. Besides that, my city will have a solar panel cover as a big roof to protect my city
from any disaster.
As for the special infrastructure in my city, I have a big “ O “ shape building,
named as “ D’ Krissoul” as my residential building. My city will also have some special
41

agriculture building, which consists of many floors. Plants and fruits are planted on the
leaves and the upper top part will be a rain water harvest system.
For my water supply, my city will have a water distillation station to distillate all
the sea water, and to provide my residents pure clean water. For more information of
my city, I’ve attached a few photo for my proposal.
Exterior Layout of my city
42

The exterior layout of my city is actually covered with transparent solar panel. Where I
can receive sunlight and my residents can conclude the time using the movement of
sunlight.
43

The picture above shows how the solar panel of my city works. The third layer of the
solar panel is actually mobile, where it is control by the control system of the city. This is
to allow wind and fresh air from coming in. It will be closed when needed.
44

The photo in front shows the geometric view of my city.
Zoning of my city

Transportation system
47

The Flying Bee Route
The Flying Bee Bus basically passes all the area of my city. Usage of cars are not
allowed. My city mostly promotes walkability.
Walkability of my city. The residents can basically walk to anywhere they want with the
usage of Solar Wheelman.
48

Form of my city.
From the picture above, it is clearly show that all the roads and alleys of my city are
connected.
49

Water System.
This picture shows how the water in my city move. The water are first distillate from the
sea water, they transfer into every corner of the city.
The water are first distillate from the sea water, they transfer into every corner of the
city.
50

Solar Wheelman
Other than walking, this device will be the basic transport for my residents. The picture
below will show how it works.
51

The Flying Bee
The bus station itself is actually a rain water harvest system. Besides that, it also works as
a shelter for the residents while waiting for the flying bee to reach.
52

As for the flying bee, it can fly because two little wind turbine is attached to the
bottom. The window of the bus is actually solar panel. For this flying bus to move, it
requires solar and wind energy. The solar energy saved will be used to activate the
engine. In corporation with the wind turbine, the bus can move smoothly. The bus will
reach the every bus station in 5 minutes time. Thus, this will not only decrease the time
of waiting but also help the residents to reach their destination as soon as possible.
53

This building is my residential area, where there are mini garden in it.
54

55

This is my agriculture tower, where it is a rain water harvest system. As we can see easily,
are how the water flow and where the plant should be.
Perspective view of my city
56

8.Conclusion
A future city doesn’t need many cars; instead what it need is how it can last long. A
successful city is a city filled with sustainable approaches.
57

Through all the research that I had done, I can say that it is really important to keep a
city green and sustainable. We must learn how to make use of the renewable resources
available. To make our earth livable, we must first learn how to make the city livable.
We only have one earth, we should learn how to protect it, not how to destroy it. As the
saying goes, prevention is better than cure.
