Growth of population affects the increase in demand for development of new areas. The article discusses current problems and trends in the development of vertical cities of the future. The last decade has seen the consolidation of the urban environment and the transition of urban planning from horizontal to vertical. The structure of future vertical cities minimizes land use and contributes to solving environmental problems and de-urbanization. The authors analyze the origin of «utopia» word and its meaning in the concepts of utopian cities since ancient times. The formation of a comfortable vertical city is a utopia aimed at turning it into the reality of the future. A general analysis of space-planning and architectural solutions of modern concepts helped to formulate the basic principles of creating a vertical city. The identified criteria of the architectural space will allow humanity to live in a comfortable environment, including the period of forced critical conditions. During the research, we presented a hypothesis of the emergence of vertical cities in the world and in Russia. The study can become the basis for forecasting the processes of urbanization and deurbanization, also as a concept creation for the development of a sustainable model of the future vertical city.

“…When we opened up the phenomenon of hybridisation, we focused on its role in urbanising societies. Toivonen et al [ 60 ] already discuss the necessity of empowering city developers through futures literacy. Cities, as venues of vast imagination, were explored through special attention directed at hybrid urban spaces, with a tentative typology, and reflections of these spaces.…”

Mysterious faces of hybridisation: an anticipatory approach for crisis literacy

Our complex world is changing at such a pace that we are struggling to address many of the global challenges ahead of us. As one of its symptoms, hybridisation means that fields, functions, characteristics and roles are increasingly combined and fused. This paper is an opening to the study of hybridisation, as an overlooked topic in the field of futures studies and foresight. We explore how hybridisation could be integrated into foresight through identification and interpretation of emerging issues and weak signals. As our case study, we examined how hybridisation manifests in the urban texture. We performed an anticipatory analysis of three hybrid urban spaces of pioneering architecture. We assumed a view to hybridity that considered diverse futures, images of the future, and open futures to detect what is opening or closing. Coming to terms with hybridisation and its expressions may inform action on anticipatory governance by improving the detection of opportunities, risks and crises. Deeper understanding of budding developments that removes ambiguity may be a nudge towards novel solutions and promote futures resilience.

“…Literacy is needed to address the skills gap during the industrial revolution 4.0 (Astuti et al, 2021). Literacy is the ability that empowers humans to integrate more advanced thinking into life processes, even in their decision-making (Wilert Toivonen et al, 2021). Literacy that must possess in this modern era is digital, technological, and human literacy (Prifti, 2020).…”

“…Literacy that must possess in this modern era is digital, technological, and human literacy (Prifti, 2020). Literacy can contribute to planning and policymaking and reduce the complexity of human skills in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 (Lund & Vildåsen, 2022;Toivonen et al, 2021). It focuses exclusively on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) which a designed to help humans respond to perceptions of the critical skill demands of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era (Heru et al, 2021;Loumpourdi, 2021).…”

Industrial revolution 4.0 changes the pattern of human life. One of the changes is the essential skills that workers must master. The automotive world is experiencing rapid development, so workers entering this field must be prepared carefully. As a transfer of knowledge and forming a reliable workforce candidate, teachers must know the essential skills that will be taught to students to face the challenges of the industrial revolution 4.0. This study aims to analyze the literacy level of SMK teachers majoring in Automotive Light Vehicle Engineering towards the essential skill needs in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. The research uses a quantitative approach using a survey research design. This study involved 168 SMK teachers majoring in Automotive Light Vehicle Engineering as the research sample. Collecting data using a questionnaire with a four-choice Likers scale instrument and analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results showed that the literacy level of SMK teachers majoring in Automotive Light Vehicle Engineering towards essential skill needs in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 and included in the high category. Essential skills include digital and information skills obtaining a percentage of 75.05%, learning skills obtaining 75.33%, and life and career skills obtaining 76.13%. Although overall, in the high category, there are several items of teacher literacy on essential skills that need to be improved.
