A city in the future will include the following features: Firstly, my ideal city will have quite good infrastructure. For example, people won't have to suffer from overcrowded trains during rush hours. Instead, faster trains will be built using advanced technologies. Sensors and cameras will be equipped in the city center to detect traffic problems and help drivers avoid traffic jams. Second, this city will be a sustainable city. There are projects aiming to reduce fossil fuel consumption and find renewable fuels for transport. Lastly, I wish tomorrow's city would be a better place for relaxation. City dwellers can enjoy walking in the city parks or riding bicycles in the cycle lanes. In short, a city that is eco-friendly and state-of-the-art is a paradise for its inhabitants.
