City of the Future is a series of drawings Cedric Price accomplished in 1965 as a summary of the vision of architecture he has been developing with earlier projects like the Fun Palace in 1961. This city is both technophiles and hyper-infrastructural as an architectural manifesto for the 60's and Price followers (Archigram, Japanese metabolists, Yona Friedman, Paul Maymont etc.)


the height- airspace
and the depth- subterranean and submarine, will increase primarily for global and regional energy transfer & communications






... and the recognizable shell prepared for new uses.
