CITIES

TO LIVE IN
If you’ve come from a small town,
you’ll definitely find yourself amazed
at the wonder big cities can give
you. With buildings so high and
people living a very different lifestyle
compared to those who live in a
small town, it’s impressive for small
town people - but imagine going to a
futuristic city. It’s not exactly what we
see in movies and shows such as The
Jetsons but it’s still innovative and
creative than ever before.
Futuristic cities give us a feel of what
the future will look like. It’ll give us
a peak on how things will be in the
future. Isn’t it exciting to see all these
things in just one place?
If you’re the type of millennial coming
from a small town who would like to
wander around futuristic cities, how
about going for a visit in these cities:
DUBAI, UAE
It’s got the world’s tallest building and
a hotel located underwater. If you
find yourself looking at the place in a
bird’s eye view, you’d definitely catch
The Palm, man-made islands that
form the shape of a palm together.
They offer free wifi using their palm
trees and they even plan to have a
smart beach. There’s definitely a lot
of things to look forward to this place
considered one of the most futuristic
cities in the world.
