Megacity 2050: Bloomberg Businessweek Illustration

Rod Hunt was commissioned by Bloomberg Businessweek to visualise Megacity 2050, how an idealised future city might look in 2050 incorporating new ideas in urban planning and sustainability.

Some of the featured developments include waste energy systems, vertical farming, renewable energy, floating platforms, sailing ship/airship freight, Bioswales, Geothermal heating/cooling, heat-deflecting green roofs, prefabricated homes and shaded/green-walled buildings. The city is built around walking, followed by bicycles, then electric vehicles and public transit. The final article ultimately wasn't published due to space issues in the magazine
