Investigating Elevated City Transformations Through the Analysis of Future Urban Scene Components Depicted in Films and Television Works

Addressing issues of urban congestion and limited activity space, this study probes the potential of vertical transport and elevated city designs. Our novel methodology seeks a deeper comprehension of societal expectations for future cityscapes. We examine cinematic and televisual portrayals of future cities, sifting through their conceptual frameworks. Harnessing semantic segmentation technology and AI-facilitated diffusion model generation, we analyze current urban scenarios to extract pertinent spatial and design elements. Subsequently, we develop tailored elevated city transformation proposals to further understand societal desires for future urban streets. Employing interdisciplinary approaches, we identify key public interests in envisioned urban settings, proposing relevant transformation plans based on current case studies. This pioneering research is set to significantly contribute to the shaping of future urban environments, offering crucial insights for urban spatial conceptualization.
