The Shape of Urban Traffic to Come

Most cities built before 1900 weren't designed with cars in mind, and traffic jams are often one of the results. As we move towards a future that is looking increasingly urban, we're likely to see more traffic scenes like this one, in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. We're also likely to see more traffic jams created by war zones, and by climate change. Want to see what those look like? Here's a traffic jam created by checkpoints outside the city of Baghdad.

And here is a great vision of future parking in a climate-changed British city.
