-EDITORIAL PICK of Street of Tomorrow Competition
Control Center speaks: All streets, subways, and roads are closed due to overcrowding! There is nothing we can do, think for yourself!
The above sentence may not seem strange even today. The growing population means that the current streets will not meet our needs in the next few years. In the other words, our cities turn into traffic graveyards. Also, street life relies on people, and using streets as a transportation system means destroying urban life.
Our concept focuses on three subjects: Quality of life, sustainability, and mobility. We believe that streets can be merged into everything, even our home! There are not just direct routes for transportation, but these routes are like airlines in all dimensions. A solar portal is designed for future cities, one portable version and one stationary version which all are connected to the control eye center. People can easily use these portals to transport; Outside the home, workplace, or even on the roof, and no fuels are required! But perhaps, we would rather be walking; several control knobs are designed to turn the streets: I will be close to the club on Sunday and my workplace tomorrow! Now everything is more satisfying!
