Paris, one hundred years from now.

You'll excuse me if I'm wrong, but, is that the Eye of Sauron in the back left-hand corner?

If I hadn't found the Effiel tower inside the white 'mega' this could have been anywhere.

Might be too late for anyone to see these this far down, but here are three more from this series:

I hope by that point we would have figured out clean energy.

Lol, sure.

Paris hasn't changed much from the 1700's, there's like 1 skyscraper in the whole city.

Paultimate79 · 7 months

Awesome art.

I think at least three hundred to five hundred years would be more accurate. And that is assuming their are a few MAJOR development projects in that time. Huge buildings arnt changed to such a degree in such a large spread area like that in modern times. In the old days it was much more viable to do it because large buildings were much more rare, so tearing down a block cost a fraction.

Now, if today we build an entirely new city from scratch on undeveloped land, I think it would look even more 'futuristic' than what is portrayed in this image. Useing modern and practical ideas you see in some of the buldings designed in the last 10 years, one could imagine how an entire city that is fully thought out from the start to its outskits would look (as opposed to the center being much, much older that the outlaying areas, and designs spanning 100+ years). For one, a lot more plant-life and a hell of a lot better use of building tops (prime real-estate).

Now I fuckn want to play SimCity.

wheres the eiffel tower?

ccas25 · 7 months

Makes me nervous because this was apparently posted by an Evil Cyborg. Maybe something to fear?

someWizard · 7 months

This is actually concept art from an upcoming game called Adrift, Here are some more wallpaper sized pictures.

ElAvestruz · 7 months

Maybe it's actually a nice place. Maybe this picture was drawn during on a particularly stormy day for the city.

Concept art for an upcoming game, Adrift.

Shakin_bacon · 7 months

It's Midgar!

Mackinstyle · 7 months

Just like how the stereotype is nuclear holocaust = brown and barren, I HATE how every futurescape is rigid, dark, and polluted. I'm not saying we'll be green in 100 years, but we certainly will figure out how to hide the mess if we make one.

Jsemps · 7 months

Good to see that all is well on the citidael....

Mariokartfever · 7 months

Due to an elaborate pre-industrialization tunnel system of sewers, the ground beneath Paris really isn't strong enough to support modern skyscrapers. Thus why it hasn't changed much in the last hundred years.

So no.

bachrock37 · 7 months

There are so many historical preservation areas in Paris. No way in fuck could this ever happen. They still have buildings from the 12th century in Paris, like fuck it's gonna look like some Half Life 2-LOTR regurgitation.

PilotInspektor · 7 months

god I hope not. But that's awesome art.

lgeorgiadis · 7 months

where can i find more of this plz?:D preferably from the same artist!

Ventus_Aetherius · 7 months

has a very ShadowRun feel to it.

ctwstudios · 7 months

I guess that's one interpretation of Paris in 100 years...

TimonBerkowitz · 7 months

"In the year 9595, a race of deformed turkey was developed by chicken scientists as revenge against his bird brother. These turkeys would exit the womb doused in gravy -- gravy filled with the giblets from a monkey. The French craved it, and as a result, turkey became the only food source for France, which is now called 'Robofrance 29'. I was later killed by the chickens! So, of course, you can see why I'm angry at those chickens.

JacobeWilson · 7 months

Ou-est l'Arc de Triomphe?

Mod_Complex · 7 months

You mean Midgar?

EEvoluzione · 7 months

Why is it so dark? Just no.

Radico87 · 7 months

Too bad it likely will never look like this.

vennamn · 7 months

looks romantic

The_Dirty_Dutchman · 7 months

Prolly not

chris-martin · 7 months

That tower reminded me of the Great Eye, and I thought this was what Mordor would look like thousands of years after Sauron led the orcs to victory and eventual technological advancement.

bakem80 · 7 months

i know this is supposed to be fictional but, Paris. Really? What about this cityscape makes it seem distinctly Parisian? no Eiffel Tower? I would think more like NYC in the future with the WTC looking towers in the background.

corban · 7 months

nu-uh, where's the eiffle tower?

nasalganglia · 7 months

TIL: There will always be storm clouds in the future.

gunzgoboom · 7 months

more like 1000 years.

ErnestEverhard · 7 months

OK I totally love this painting but 100 years from now is totally unrealistic. How about 350 years?

Probablythefirst · 7 months

I guarantee you that Paris will look exactly the same as it does today.

mrchen · 7 months

Somebody can correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe Paris has very tight laws and restrictions over what kinds of buildings can be built, especially those around the Eiffel tower. They are very concerned with preserving the skyline and making sure that Paris continues to look surreal/ romantic.

Imjustkidding · 7 months

Crackdown 3

iseverythingok · 7 months

Buildings taller than 5 stories outside of La Defense? lol

palordrolap · 7 months

Isn't Paris built over extremely weak bedrock (as well as a large network of catacombs)?

I'm sure I've been told that's the real reason they don't have so many skyscrapers in Paris.

Of course, if this was QI, it's possible I'd be getting a klaxon right about now.

webauteur · 7 months

That is not how Paris looks in 2112. I should know, I'm a timelord, Le Seigneur du Temps.

Corbusien Hell!

waxyfrenchie · 7 months

Actually the French have a law stating that now skyscrapers be built inside of the actual city, montparnasse is the only one, and they felt it was so ugly they should make a law preventing it from ever happening again.

ThePhenix · 7 months

Do not like. I am going to buy some land and keep it green. Unless they build skyscrapers around me. In which case I will go on a rampage. Spraying the skyscrapers with moss.

nickateen · 7 months

Funny, I suspect it to look like a poor village in India if the economy keeps up haha.

Buschman98 · 7 months

Why is it always night time in the future!?

You think Zombie Hitler would have destroyed Paris by then.

beautifully done!

England 100 years from now

eremite00 · 7 months

It's a nice picture, but what makes it identifiable as Paris, except for the sign on that one building? In regards to this picture, you could slap on the name of any major city with the caption "[city name], one hundred years from now".

SingleServe · 7 months

I doubt it.

Sarbara · 7 months

Here i thought that was a picture made in 1946 of NYC in the distant future year of 2000

DroneMan11 · 7 months

What I would do to be able to live to see this.

Gates9 · 7 months

You obviously haven't been to Paris.

pearcewg · 7 months

to achieve this goal will require alot more economic output than is typical for the french lifestyle.

From_the_year_2212 · 7 months

The city was mostly deserted after the H9-N6 plague of 2038. The city sadly never recovered fully from the event leading to the decision to convert it into a museum of the French History from 5th century CE to 21st century CE in the year 2050. Hence, a hundred year from your time it looks nothing like in the picture.

mikemcg · 7 months

Reminds me an awful lot of Jak and Daxter.

I would say it looks like this in 300 years.

did anyone else try to look for eiffel tower?

everycredit · 7 months

yeah...no.

Abita · 7 months

I guess in 100 years the orks will take over again and Barad-dûr will be in Paris..

splee3 · 7 months

God I hope not. As skeptical as I was, Paris turned out to be just as beautiful as everyone says.

iriemeditation · 7 months

That's a horribly depressing and awful vision of the future.... where are the trees and all the greenery? do future people think we can eat steel and concrete?

urnbabyurn · 7 months

It looks more like 200 years, but still a cool pic.

duggtodeath · 7 months

Hey, /r/cyberpunk would love this!

c0mputar · 7 months

We can't comprehend technological exponential growth alongside human regulation of cities.

fordarwin · 7 months

When did Sauron get to Paris in the future?

Onatu · 7 months

Bleh. As neat as it looks, I'm hating the dystopian vibes I'm getting from this. It looks almost "Blade Runner"-esque, which is part of why I dislike it. Too depressing, too run-down, and overall rather an unpleasant looking place.

snaggletoothdragon · 7 months

Oh my

TehRoot · 7 months

City 17 anyone?

RhiannonRae · 7 months

The building/tower in the background looks like a giant clothes pin

RexQuincy · 7 months

It makes me think of Midgar (FF7), only without it being a plated city -- the large building would be Shinra headquarters (of course)

Lazarus190 · 7 months

I must say, much more impressive than the Hong Kong skyline posted the other day.

Hong Kong, you have 100 years, better get workin' on that, don't want a bunch of frogs outdoing ya, do ya?

totallymaccount · 7 months

As much as I wish this could be possible, isn't it highly unlikely in a 100 years?

I mean weren't we theoretically supposed to have brain to brain learning systems by now according to people of the past?

Probably have a long way to go towards making earth an Ecumenopolis

mchockley · 7 months

I liked this the first time when it was called the machine city in the matrix. (jokes... this is awesome)

Luthos · 7 months

Man I wanna be alive when places look like this. =\

zShwagg · 7 months

Kind of reminds me of the setting for the book "Toys" by James Patterson. There's a place for the suburbs of humans, and there is cleaner, safer, more important buildings for the Elites.

TheBurntToast · 7 months

well i guess architecture from the 2110s is better than architecture from the 1880s

[deleted] · 7 months

looks like shit. Great art but Paris in no way should become this.
