Hydro-Net San Francisco City Plan by IwamotoScott Architects

In the City of the Future contest, architects and designers were asked to envision San Francisco in the year 2018. IwamotoScott Artchitects evidently expect quite a lot of change to happen before that time, because their very-futuristic design took first place. The Hydro-Net design features underground traffic tunnels for hydrogen-fueled hover cars which in places link up with the above-ground roads. The city is powered by geothermal and hydro power, and some residents even boast sophisticated cave dwellings.
