A Dubai-based environmental design firm, TimeLinks, is planning to unveil it’s newest “structure”, which is really a city-within-a-pyramid, called the Ziggurat:

Behold, the Ziggurat

Behold, the Ziggurat

This thing will supposedly be able to house up to 1 million people and have no cars. You may ask, how will they live without cars?

Fear not! They’ll have  modern transportation system within the structure that runs both vertically and horizontally. I’m envisioning the Futurama tube system…

This city is supposed to be carbon neutral, using only natural energy from the wind, water, sun and so on.

I think I’m going to start saving today for a chance of saving my soul in the city of the future!
