CONCEPTE NOI PRIVIND URBANISMUL SECOLULUI XXI: PARCURILE PRIVATE SUSPENDATE; GRĂDINILE ORĂȘENEȘTI SUSPENDATE; ORAȘELE PRIVATE SUSPENDATE
THE “URBANOCENE”: KEY-TRENDS IN HUMAN CIVILIZATION, IN THE SECOND HALF OF XXIST CENTURY- FIRST HALF OF XXII CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: Our paper is proposing a futurological study on urban evolution between XXI-XXII centuries, within what we prefer to call “a global order of metropolises and megalopolises”. We shall approach briefly, a typology of future cities, as based on mega-constructions and Vertical Architectonic Ensembles (VAAs) as groups of skyscrapers and, in a future improved scenario, made from thyssenkrupps (mega-buildings surpassing the present level of the highest skyscraper, inclusively Burj al-Khalifa). New technologies, new materials of buildings and new architectonic conceptions will begin to re-define the concepts of urbanism and city. Within the present paper, we shall try to define concepts as Urbanocene, global order of metropolises, the First Chain of Serenissimas, the Second Chain of Serenissimas, the orbital city, the hanged gardens, by using some references to historical periods of time (Babylon, getic antic cities- dava-, medieval castles). Perspectives about mobile and re-combining cities are spectacular, innovating on the “city” concept itself, abandoning the idea of a fixed, terrestrial city, in favor of detachable, re-composing, hybrid cities, a trend of XXII century that will redefine fundamentally the urban habitat, in our opinion.
