LEARNING FROM SWEDEN/Eco-City, Malmö

The question of how the future cities will be regarding human life is tried to be answered in different perspective. Scientific evidence informs human being to be careful for urbanization to save their life and future generation. If we insist on lack of love and behaving as harpy to nature, environment gave a strong reaction to human being. What will be in the end with climatic changes, air pollution, and water pollution, destroying nature balance with rapid urbanization without green area, using land with high-rise-dense settlement without any green, cutting trees and constructing huge shopping mall instead, creating a big social and economical gap between rich and poor? It is obvious that there is fair of future consciously or unconsciously. Cinema is a good way to guess, dream or design the future. Most of the science fiction movies focusing on cities in the future show the fair of losing the life in the earth like Elysium directed by Neill Blomkamp in 2013. The movie shows Elysium, the very wealthy live on a man-made space station, in the year 2154, while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth in a bad condition (Figure 1). This movie and other movies very similar topic warns human mind to stop wasting sources inefficiently especially regarding urbanization.
