Step into the future and discover exciting innovations engineers are developing.

Narrated by actor John Krasinski, Cities of the Future invites you to step into the future and discover the exciting innovations engineers are working on right now to help meet the challenges of a changing world. Renewable energy will be our primary power source, solar energy beamed down from space will power entire cities, smart buildings and greener infrastructure will keep us cool, and we will travel on aerial highways in individualized pods that run on little or no energy. This isn’t science fiction. This is the world engineers are designing right now.

Travel to some of the world’s greatest cities — from Amsterdam to Los Angeles to Singapore and more — where profound change is already happening and meet the engineers and visionaries whose human ingenuity is forging a brighter, more sustainable future for us all.

Cities of the Future opens in the Giant Dome Theater on Wednesday, March 19. This film is not included in Museum Entry, and requires adding a separate timed-entry ticket.
