What you will get

A wide aerial view of a green future city, with towers covered in plants, sky bridges, solar canopies, quiet trams, people in open plazas and reflective water canals at golden hour.

Why it works

Naming a real city as inspiration, as the tip suggests, gives the future a familiar shape. The prompt then layers the ideas of a green city: planted towers, sky bridges, solar canopies, quiet trams and canals. People in open plazas show it is lived in. A wide aerial view at golden hour reads like an architect’s concept image.

Common mistake

It looks like a generic sci-fi city.

Fix: Name a real city and its landmarks, as the tip says, and mention its climate and street pattern.

Also watch for

Greenery looks pasted on. Ask for plants that follow the building balconies, with visible terraces and trailing vines.
The city feels empty. Add small groups of people, bicycles and market stalls in the plazas for scale.

Try a variation: make a street-level view

Ask for a human-eye view along a tree-lined canal, with a tram passing and shops at ground level.
