"Picture a city where beams of sunlight illuminate stained-glass buildings with power glittering solar panels on every roof. Up high, colourful stacked apartments host tumbling plants and rooftop forests while electric cable cars carry passengers to-and-fro, above twisting streets filled with cyclists and pedestrians.
