Cities of the Future

Cities of the Future, an OMNIMAX film showing at the Saint Louis Science Center, invites viewers to discover the exciting innovations that engineers are perfecting to help meet the challenges of a changing world.

Renewable energy will be our primary power source in the future. Solar energy beamed down from space will power entire cities; smart buildings and greener infrastructure will keep us cool; and we will travel on aerial highways in individualized pods that run on little or no energy. This isn’t a fantasy; this is the reality that engineers are designing right now.

In this film, travel to some of the world’s greatest cities, where profound change is already happening and meet the engineers and visionaries whose human ingenuity is forging a brighter, more sustainable future for all.

Narrated by critically acclaimed actor John Krasinski, Cities Of The Future is produced by MacGillivray Freeman in partnership with the American Society of Civil Engineers.
