futurescape
Vision of ahead
A futurescape is an imagined vision of what the future might look like—the landscape of tomorrow as conceived today.
The term appears in speculative fiction, urban planning, and design contexts: The architect's futurescape featured vertical forests and flying vehicles.
Like landscape or cityscape, it frames a broad view, but projected forward in time rather than observed in the present.
