Introduction

It was an interesting project , I’d learn a lot from this project as I have to know almost everything to built a good city that attract people to live in. I did researches on past , present and future city which related with underground.

In addition , I realized that taking care of environment is very important task. Human will pay the consequences for what we did for the pollution today…

Studies of Present City

4.1 In 1962 , the first underground shopping center Place Ville-Marie had been designed by I.M.Pei.4.2 I chosen Montreal it’s because Montreal is a present underground city. It stretches for 33 kilometers beneath.4.3 According to official static of the www.aviewoncities.com , its corridor of Montreal underground city linked up 10 metro stations, 2 bus terminals, 1,200 offices, about 2,000 stores including 2 major department stores, approximately 1,600 housing units, 200 restaurants, 40 banks, 40 movie theatres and other entertainment venues, 7 major hotels, the University of Quebec at Montreal campus and the University of Montreal, Olympic Park, Place des Arts, a cathedral, the Bell Centre (home of the Montreal Canadiens), and 3 exhibition halls: the Place Bonaventure, the Convention Centre (Palais des Congrès de Montréal) and the Olympic Centre.

5.4 The Hive only have one exit and entrance , it don’t have emergency exit purposely to keep the experiment classified .5.5 I’d learned a lot within studying this city , it gave me a lot of idea of the design of my city.

The ‘X’ City

6.1 At the end of 2033rd , total population on our planet , Earth have exceed the maximum population and government are taking action to execute less economy supported people to control the population.

6.2 American’s rebellion had took their part to taking over the government and I’m the rebellion leader of Malaysia. I proposed an underground city to solve the problem peacefully.

6.3 Most of Malaysian are unemployed although they have great skill on something. They need more job opportunity and food.

6.4 They just simply need a shelter and food to settle them. 10

Conclusion

Building a city isn’t a easy task , trouble come to us all the way. Yet , no matter how hard is it , there will be a solution. I also practice critical thinking for during this project , for example what if landslide happen , what if the river over float.

We always complaining about the city we live in , we never be thankful and from now on I appreciate those effort they put to built the city , built house even building for better tomorrow !
