futuristic city

Neon-lit urban sprawl

A futuristic city is an imagined urban environment featuring advanced technology, innovative architecture, and social structures beyond current reality.

The term appears in science fiction, urban planning discussions, and architectural renderings: The film depicted a futuristic city with flying cars and towering spires.

Such cities typically emphasize either utopian promise—clean energy, seamless transit—or dystopian decay beneath gleaming surfaces.
