A Utopian Future for the New Orleans Riverfront in 200 Years

The brainfarm over at Sentient Developments calls our attention to the concept designs of Adam Benton, who has worked on Stargate among other things. Here you see a sumptuous illustration of a forested world dotted with space ports. When I imagine a Utopian future for New Orleans, this is what I see: a beautiful, clean Mississippi River edged with graceful, high-density housing and thick wetlands. If you want to see more of Benton's curvacious, festively-colored space ships, click on.

It's like a holiday ship, all red and shiny! Maybe it's delivering presents to gas beings on Jupiter. Images by Adam Benton.
