Megacity of the Future

By the end of the century it is predicted that Africa will hold 13 of the top 20 megacities in the world. Beyond that, as humanity reaches for the stars and begins to terraform the uninhabited planets in our solar system and beyond, Afrofuturist architecture will spring from the ground of those new Earths to create amazing megacities leveraging the technological advances of African scientists and engineers today. This contest introduced me to the world of Afrofuturist architecture. It ranges from buildings that currently exist for everyday purposes like the Cairo Administrative Court Building to the concept art and environment design patterns depicted by inspiring artists like Jeryce Dianingana and Olalekan Jeyifous.

This build depicts vertical urban agriculture and solar power paneled roofs while water collection and purification pods hover above the city. Fossil fuel based cars no longer exist; instead, clean energy flying vehicles transport people through the sky.
