Synopsys
Exploring the concept of Walking Cities, originally envisioned by the Archigram group in the 1960s, this documentary delves into the idea of nomadic, self-sustaining cities that roam freely and connect with others. It examines the architectural and social implications of such cities, their potential as a solution to sinking cities, and the shift from static to nomadic living. The documentary also discusses contemporary interpretations and the feasibility of this visionary concept in today’s world.

Neom's disregard for the environment is astonishing
The Line will never happen.
Since ALL money is “fiat” money, then what’s the point of money at all?
The point is, there are always these small groups of people who want the accumulation of power and control.
What is much better to develop an advanced civilization, is for it to be run and operated by a revolving representation from the communities … and NOT political parties … where everyone is expected to participate.
the problems i see is not even if cities can walk into the sunset, they can, but how are all our necessities stay in the cities? wifi outside of a city sometimes is terrible, food needs a place to grow idk at least food labs need always an access to some products for their futuristic dna food stuff, access to fresh water etc etc. but i would be insanely happy when such things are addressed and conquered
One of the main reasons that nomadic communities are disappearing isn't because of stability in cities, it's because of property rights. Nomadic communities rely on public land, they rely on being able to move freely to where they want, and as land is increasingly owned by private hands, they lose access to move.
I think this is what conservatives think "walkable city" means.
The effort that went into the production shows 👍🏽
as much as i love all those bold ideas it's a bit frustrating all of it almost always will never be my own city which now is just touristic moneybag for the country… damn like it's so boring living here im definitely moving out somewhere, sad to think tho the rest of the actual built cities probably are the same
Total BS
When you host monolithic architecture in the cloud
We're already seeing nomadism in action in the form of refugee camps and shantytowns – Mike Davis' "Planet of Slums" talks about this a bit. People are moving to where jobs are, or away from political instability, war or increasingly climate disasters. Unfortunately, nation states are based around the idea of fixed borders and territories, so the camps and the people in them are underserved and exploited.
What will happen when entire nations, like the Maldives, are underwater or "desertified"? Will the people end up living as a nation in exile, like the Chagossians? We need not only more nomad-friendly architecture, but more nomad-friendly systems of government, that move beyond the nation state as a concept. [The Line is the exact opposite, marking a hard literal line in the landscape and cutting through existing tribal territories.]
They look like Monty Python's Walking Cities.
… You just invented Gypsies. You just invented gypsy carts and made them more complicated and difficult.
(I'm deliberately not saying Romani because they mostly settled down when they had the choice, and most modern gypsies aren't Rom and none I know of sell metalwork, art, fake magic, interesting dances and music, etc.)
I'd love to see a video made by you about the modular underground building of Portal, the game. 🙂
Since that game, I have this vision of modern apartments 3d printed from re-cycled plastic with modular robotic rectangles, so you can just design your own living spaces in 3d and dynamically change the room depending on your needs.
one thing im wondering about this topic is the impact walking cities have on the relationship between community and land. Would't they be isolating? Imagine growing up in a city always on the move, never having the necessity to stop. What would you think of the outside world? Wouldn't the world become much smaller? What about people choosing to stay on the ground or simply not having the social access to moving cities. Would moving cities be a new social class? Super Nomads?
It's weird how seing you in an asian setting (I'm guessing Japanese? Admmitting my own ignorance here), made me realise YOU ARE of this culture, when before I saw "a western cultured woman of asian origin" without even realising I was treating "western" as the default culture.
On Mars … or in the clouds of Venus.
How do you move a city if every single patch of land is owned by someone? And I bet noone will be happy about giant trucks or legs on their lawn.
Isn't Cruise Ships the closest we will get?
There really isn't room on most of the earth for giant moving structures.
Plus you also need a reason for why you would not only move your house, but the whole community.
In a scifi future with people on almost empty planets it could make sense.
On Earth in the now, you really can't go anywhere where it would not be cheaper to build the infrastructure into the ground.
your idea add to NEOM is smart 👍
I wonder if this conception of moving city (maybe a bit smaller in scale), could be efficient on Mars (or any other extraterrestrial colony) as for example moving laboratory with permanent crew, or maybe as mining complex.
Konosuba had something like that
The moving city that rehabilitates the landscape was a funny pipe dream idea. Just imagine the giant highway that would need to drive on, and the forces involved would be massize. Tanks shred up the landscape. And we already have moving cities! They are called cruise ships and aircraft carriers.
Individual vs Community is one of the great pendulums of Humanity. Asian societies have tended toward Community being more important, while European societies have tended toward Individual rights. You can see the same things playing out in the ideas of Soleri vs Archigram's capsule homes — a (relatively) static hyperstructure, or an individually customisable and relocatable dwelling pod.
Whichever you choose, though, you can be sure of one thing… Humans will come along and smurf it up.

My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining… Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.
Read "After the Revolution". Who wouldn't wanna live in 'Rolling F@*k'. An anarchist convoy of post-human cyborgs centered around a repurposed agricultural VLS.
Sounds like they were trying to reinvent the wheel. Just plain stupid.
You got me on the Displate commercial, well done.
I don't know about all of you, but standing in a line is THE single most desolate feeling I've ever felt in 55 years on earth… so who's bright idea is it to force people into living in that line?? Insanity, that's all this is, from the mind of someone who never had to stand in a line in their pathetically entitled and different life than we mere "citizens" of said line.
Architects have lost the plot. Why does every "solution" have to be a megaproject carbuncle of techno-industrial might? Where are the simple, easily and sustainably manufactured and elegantly assembled designs? If we are truly going to solve our problems, billion dollar monstrosities of ever greater intricacy are not going to be the solution. Architect's seem infatuated with their own vain imaginings rather than actually creating viable, healthy solutions. We have built a monstroisty that eats humamn life to sustain itself. How to solve, BUILD BIGGER MACHINES!
"Mortal Engines" depicts this.
When is the DamiLee and Huge If True big brained women of YouTube collab?
The amount of growth this channel has had in terms of how high the quality has gotten (it was always good, just saying it keeps getting better), the ability to find topics that are incredibly unique, and the viewership/subs since it started is so cool, inspiring, and compelling to me as a lifetime learning and someone who seeks out higher levels of discourse.
Obviously, there’s a desire for high quality research driven material on YouTube, but only a few channels deliver on it. I’m just stoked that we have this channel to deliver.
4:18, I wonder what will happen if we tie Dami's hands together and she have to speak without using her hands at all? 🤔
Seems odd to talk about nomadism in modern society without talking about the Romani or Gypsy culture.
Brilliant! I love the way your mind works! Adorable…thank you for sharing 🙂
As many have pointed out, their impact would be disastrous in anything but an already trashed world. Imagine your city going completely dark for weeks because a mobile city hovers over you. There's nothing symbiotic about the toll this alone would take on anything living underneath. Also, unles they can be self-sustaining, what do they offer to their "host" city on the ground whose resources they will take? The problem is not new. In medieval times, European kings used to move their court from city to city because no place could host a king's large following for too long before running dry on is own resources.
