Ron Elon's Walking City was originally founded in an anti-utopian New York, where huge robots can walk on water and land wherever needed and connect with others to build a large hub like a city. By creating a mobile city, Huron believes that this is a necessary change that these mobile giants can bring resources and urban development, whether they need it. Herron was originally inspired by the combination of insects and revolutionary machines. The walk is made up of intelligent buildings or robots in huge, independent living spaces that can roam the city. This form comes from the combination of insects and machines. Pods are independent, but parasitic, because they can be "inserted" to exchange occupants or supplementary resources. So we see that there are pipes connecting the machines. Therefore, citizens are a service-oriented nomadic people, which is not completely different from today's administrative cars. After the nuclear war, the background was seen as a world to be destroyed in the future.

This part of the image on the left is another pedestrian city in the foreground of the original image. While there is no color in this part of the image, you can see the New York City skyline fading slightly. The location of the pedestrian city allows the New York City skyline to be visible from the top of the pedestrian city, showing only part of the pedestrian city. Although neither structure has color, the pedestrian city is more emphasized because it is placed in the foreground of the image and is the first thing the viewer sees. The location of the structures in the image and the fading of the New York City skyline indicate how pedestrian cities take precedence over structures and past cultures.

This section of the image on the right shows a black-and-white image of the New York City skyline against a pedestrian city background. The skyline image used is what the skyline looked like when the walking city project was created in 1964. The city skyline is colorless and somewhat faded in some places. You can see the skyline from a distance. The author takes the time to put the New York City skyline in the background of the work, in order to show that the remaining old buildings also represent the old society in the picture of the future. This effort reflects the belief that today's structures and parts of society will remain in the new technological future.

My sketch of the city:

I want to create a city on a large Quadrilateral machine, but considering that the range and mode of movement of the machine is limited, for example, straight line walking is a perplexing problem. So I tried to go back to Herron's design philosophy and think about it. His inspiration for robots came from the combination of insects and machines. So I thought that when people first talked about Sydney, the first thing I thought about was kangaroos, so I designed the carrier that carried the city into a combination of animals and machines to design my walking city: Sydney kangaroo. The software I used to draw pictures was Adobe Illustrator. I tried to draw two styles of cities, one with straight lines, the other reflecting the panoramic view of Sydney, combining iconic buildings, scenery and animals. And I put them on two kangaroos because they have pockets, but they're harder to reflect in their pockets, so smaller kangaroos come out of big kangaroo pockets, so there's a connection between them, and it explains the interaction between cities.
