Cities For A Flying World

• What will cities look like when citizens have flying vehicles?
• How will buildings change if the roof or the window becomes a new entrance? Can buildings be built from top down?
• What will public transport using flying technology be like?
• How will deliveries by drone affect city communications?
• How will life be improved in poor neighbourhoods by drone technology?
• Will zeppelins be used in aerial leisure or logistics?
• What will the flying cars of the future look like?
• How could new modes of vertical transportation impact the development of cities?
• Could there be aerial zeppelin communities and how will they be organised?

Participants can develop a project for a new city, new building, new device, new social platform or a mix of all of the above. We are looking for the best proposals with ideas for the world to come (in the not too distant future), where flying technologies will change the way we work, live and play in the city.
