  • Wizja Miasta W Filmie Science Fiction
    ZBIGNIEW KONOPACKI-MACIUK* WIZJA MIASTA W FILMIE SCIENCE FICTION REPRESENTATIONS OF THE CITY IN SCIENCE FICTION CINEMA Streszczenie Artykuł przedstawia wizje miast istniejących i wyimaginowanych, jakie stworzył filmowy gatunek science fiction. Projekcje te stanowią odzwierciedlenie rzeczywistości, w której powstawały i żyli ich twórcy. Wy- różniono pięć zasadniczych modeli miast występujących w filmach SF: zamknięty, strukturalny, miasto bez centrum, wirtualny i miasto przepływów. Pod względem fizjonomii miasta zdefiniowano trzy kierunki: systemowe miasta-maszyny, zdegradowane miasta upadku oraz miasta, które nie ewoluowały poza zna- ną nam rzeczywistość, natomiast przewartościowaniu uległa większość rządzących nimi praw. Słowa kluczowe: miasto, film, science fiction Abstract The paper talks about representations of the city, either existing or imagined, as spawned by the genre of science fiction cinema. The representations mirror the reality in which they were invented and wherein lived their visualizers. Five key city models weaving throughout SF cinema have been identified: closed, structural, without a centre, virtual and a city of flows. Based on the city’s physiognomy, three trends have been defined: systemic machine-cities, degraded cities in decline, and cities which have never evolved beyond our familiar sense of reality but where most of the rules governing within have been reinvented. Keywords: city, film, science fiction * Mgr inż. arch. Zbigniew Konopacki-Maciuk, doktorant, Instytut Projektowania Urbanistycznego, Wydział Architektury, Politechnika Krakowska. 414 1. Wizja miasta w filmie science fiction Wraz z rozszerzaniem się horyzontu czasowego zwiększa się liczba obserwatorów i komentatorów przy- szłości. Należą do nich twórcy filmowi, którzy dzięki stosowanym środkom oraz zdolności do obserwacji świata, sta- rają się odpowiedzieć, jak będzie wyglądało miasto przyszłości, zarówno tej bliskiej, jak i dalszej.

  • Beyond the Metroplex: Examining Commuter Patterns at the “Megapolitan” Scale
    Beyond the Metroplex: Examining Commuter Patterns at the “Megapolitan” Scale Robert E. Lang and Arthur C. Nelson © 2007 Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Working Paper The findings and conclusions of this paper are not subject to detailed review and do not necessarily reflect the official views and policies of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Please do not photocopy without permission of the Institute. Contact the Institute directly with all questions or requests for permission. ([email protected]) Lincoln Institute Product Code: WP07RL1 Abstract This paper explores the geography of “megapolitan areas.” Megapolitans are super regions that combine at least two, and often several, metropolitan areas. People intuitively sense a large- scale metropolitan convergence is underway as they see metros that were once distinct places merge into enormous urban complexes. In the 1960s, Dallas and Fort Worth were clearly colliding, as were Washington and Baltimore by the 1980s. Now regions with more distant urban cores such as Phoenix and Tucson, Tampa and Orlando, and San Antonio and Austin are exhibiting the same pattern, only on a more massive scale. This research predicts that a total of 20 megapolitan areas will exist in 2040 Megapolitan areas are based on the census’s new (2003) method for determining combined statistical areas (CSAs). When separate metropolitan areas exchange at least 15 percent of workers as measured by commuting, they are designated as CSAs. The same holds true for megapolitans. Based on projections of commuting, by 2010 the census should find that Phoenix- Tucson and Washington-Baltimore-Richmond could become CSAs.

Secondary attributes are derived from primary of nation-states around the world. The game mechanics utilize a ones. The normal human range for primary attributes is 1-7 (with a simple Skill + Attribute + 1d10 resolution system that has been 4 being average), but this can be increased to 10 or even higher streamlined for ease of play, but without reducing the options of with Augmentations (cyberware). a science fiction ruleset full of augmentations, sophisticated weapons and hacking. The game is designed for speedy character generation and primarily uses d10s and d6s. The near future of 2055 lies in wait for you, ready to ambush you with robotic weapons and lethal neuro-feedback. The world of the mid-21st century is a harsh place, a globe that’s been ripped apart by the Third World War which devastated entire continents.

In this world you play an agent of the state or global megacorporation, fighting a shadow war against terrorists, anarchists, subversives, freedom fighters and sometimes regular civilians.
