THE CITY OF THE FUTURE as envisaged in the General Motors “Futurama” exhibit at the New York World’s Fair. The air space over the wide major roads is used for parks, shopping centres, car parks, and for urban residential areas. Traffic is completely segregated from pedestrians. Special transport terminals surround the city and serve as termini for cars, buses, vertical take-off (inter-city) aircraft, and other means of transport. Cars are parked in the terminals, and motorists travel throughout the city on covered and moving walks, which radiate from each terminal.
