Sustainable cities Assignment
How to increase your grade levels from a 4 to 5,6 or 7
Scenario: The cities in the future will need to be sustainable and well planned out, as the worlds resources begin to become depleted. When planning out your ideal futuristic city you will need to be looking at better ways to use primary resources such as: Food, Renewable Energies, or the way buildings are built and the materials that they are made of! Also you will be wanting to be able to look for more efficient ways of transport, waste disposal, education, recreation facilities and even government...... (Remember this is futuristic sustainable city, so not all things need to exist fully in reality at this time)
Criterion A
- Explain and justify the need for a solution to be made for cities in the future to become more self sustainable in every way possible?
- A: Because as the world advances we stop using some resources, and there prices lower down and the city's may go bankrupt!
- Construct a research plan, which states and prioritizes the primary and secondary research needed to develop a solution to the problem (as seen below)
Question (Strand 1)
Answer: We need to have sustainable resources because if a city is capable of having renewable sources and types of nutrution that is sustainable and cannot be lost, then the citizens won't have to worry about food or energy and that will allow for other prioritys like recreation and building and renovating and reproducing and also free time!

Question (Strand)3
Slideshow
These Photos show my ideas on renewable energy and good locations for my city and as you can see here this is an detailed example of some of the cities i found or made.
Question (Strand)4
Criterion B: Developing Ideas
1. Develop a design specification which outlines the success criteria for the design of a solution based on the data collected
A: The kinds of Renewable Energies that I will be using in my futuristic city are:
+ Tidal wave energy I would use because I want to develop my futuristic sustainable city near or over the sea.
+ Wind Energy , because wind is an almost permanent resource, and we could rely on it without worrying about blackouts
+ hydrogen power generators the most effective 100% permanent solution for a city, although it's expensive
+ Husky's (Ground) running on hamster machines
+ Hamster Energy mutated hamsters running in hamster machines
The Kinds of Parks that I will be using in my futuristic city are:
+ modern art Parks to inspire people and increase population
+ Inside Playgrounds for normal and special needs children to be able to play together in.
+ Relaxation Parks to allow more calm enviroments and stress free days of the week
+ Sport parks to stop obesity and alow athletes to increase parks
+ Picnic parks (family & friends can sit and enjoy each others company without being hit with a ball or bike etc.
+ Animal Friendly Parks to help tame animals
The kinds of buildings(shape size, material they are made of etc) that I will have in my futuristic city are:
+ Round in shape and off the ground they will not be on top of each other.
+ Factories will be all together in one part of the city not near the area where people will live.
+ All house will be basically the same, but the people will be able to personalize their homes inside and a little bit on the outside.
+ The buildings will be made from recyclable materials i.e. high quality recyclable plastics etc
The ideal positioning of where I would build my futuristic city:
+ Partly land and partly over the ocean
+ Near a larger land mass
+ Near a good source of water
+ strong tidals waves
+Near a mountain range that was volcanic once
The kinds of transportation that I would use in my futuristic city:
+ Electric vehicles of some kind
+ Walking
+ Hydro motor driven Boats
+ Sail boats
+ Mono rail system
+ form of mechanical lifts inside the larger building
The kind of Social Structure in my futuristic city:
+ Peoples Government & Freedom of religions (diplomatic city)
+ Equal rights for all people......
+ A focus on making families strong.......
+ Law and order (accountability)........
2. Present a range of feasible design ideas, which can be correctly interpreted by others
One sustainable city could look like this below:
One sustainable city could look like this below:
Another sustainable city may look like this:
3. Present the chosen design and outline the reasons for its selection
A: I chose this design (Sim City) because its the only one available to me to make & its what houses the most population in an effective manner so, that's why this is the best design.
Criterion C: Creating a Solution
- Construct a logical plan, which outlines the efficient use of time and resources, sufficient for peers to be able to follow to create the solution
- Demonstrate excellent technical skills when making the solution
- Follow the plan to create the solution, which functions as intended explain changes made to the chosen design and the plan when making the solution.
- Present the solution as a whole
Criterion D: Evaluation
Strand 1 . Describe testing methods that you would use to see if your Sustainable Futuristic city could work, which generate accurate data, (how would you record your data for example you could record feedback on your city on a table to help measure the success of the solution
Sustainable future city model
Strand 2. Explain the success of the solution against the design specification (this is the list of specifications that you need to have to make your city sustainable and futuristic for example solar power, parks or farming etc.)
Answer:
My City compares Excellently Against the Design specifications, (In MY opinion) And I see no reason this city wont be able to survive, its got wind power, an infinite water source, good agriculture, parks and food! also its amazingly sustainable!
Strand 3. Describe how the solution you came up with could have improved even further.
Answer:
If I had more time, i would've built an fusion power plant 100% renewable! as well as an airport, some landmarks and other cool stuff! and I would make public transport and new non-factory and recycling station and maybe an huge park!
