Dubai-based Timelinks, an environmental design company, is to unveil their vision of a 'city of the future' at the upcoming Cityscape Dubai. The city – called the Ziggurat project – will be in the shape of a futuristic pyramid which, according to Timelinks, could support an entire community of up to one million people by harnessing the power of nature. Images and press release after the jump.But it is not just about reducing the carbon footprint. The 2.3 km² pyramid has many other benefits. “Whole cities can be accommodated in complexes which take up less than 10% of the original land surface. Public and private landscaping will be used for leisure pursuits or irrigated as agricultural land.The concept will also mean a better quality of life for the inhabitants. Transport throughout the complex would be connected by an integrated 360 degree network (horizontally and vertically) so cars would be redundant. Biometrics would provide security with facial recognition technology.Timelinks has already patented the design and technology incorporated into the project and has applied to the European Union for a grant for technical projects. A number of eminent professors from Europe will be on hand to explain the technicalities of how the Ziggurat project works and how these communities can be integrated in master projects.
