The Future of Cities

Notting Hill is one of my favorite neighborhoods in London because of its unique spatial layout Instead of large private backyards, the homes and apartments back up to large private communal gardens shared by the entire block

Chatting with @camwiese today about his New World's Fair (which hopes to paint an optimistic, definite vision of the future), I noticed how these projects so often turn to *retro*futurism in art direction. What would a now-rooted, forward-facing hopepunk aesthetic look like?
