Sim Eternal City
Sim Eternal City reads and designs — city by city — the future cities where the longevity generation (us, as we live longer) will live.It reads each city through four forces reshaping urban life — climate change, AI and robotics, longer lifespans, and the shift from nation-states to city-states — then designs the life inside it: work, education, leisure, mobility. The point is preparedness: to picture a city before sudden change arrives, starting not from nothing but from each city’s own history and people.
New York’s floating city was the first case. The long-term aim is to build Sim Eternal City itself — a city where life and death coexist.But New York was only the first city. Every coast, every mountain town, every inland city carries a future that is already arriving — and most of them have not yet been told. We want to go city by city and tell those futures, before the change does the telling for us.
We can’t do this alone. We’re looking for partners of every kind — cities ready to imagine their own future, documentary makers and visual storytellers who can make it visible, researchers, builders, backers, and anyone who believes the cities we’ll grow old in are worth designing now. If that’s you, this is an open invitation.
