In urban environments, architects are often pushing the limits of architecture, design and construction. The limited ground space means that innovation is required to obtain maximum usable area, and buildings are often very tall in order to help with this.

There are several examples of futuristic looking cities, most notably Dubai and Hong Kong, although most modern cities tend to have some futuristic structures as well. The beauty of the design and the innovation behind the construction provokes questions about if cities will all look like this in the future.

For photographers, cities are an incredible subject for photography, with the majestic buildings, sharp edges and bright lights. Check out these amazing modern and futuristic city photographs.
