I found this article on Under Water cities. It includes some wonderful artwork and it could be very usefully to provide players.

here are some more interesting city ideas: http://vincent.callebaut.org/projets-groupe-tout.html
There's a two fairly "well known" CGI arcology renderings upon which those images are based. I can't seem to find either of them now, but will post some links later on if I do.
I remember back about 1970 reading The Whole Earth Catalog and seeing futuristic architecture... I think the guy drawing it was Paoli. I tried several web searches and couldn't find much on futuristic designs by him.
Here is a link PAOLO SOLERI
... I was also a big fan and have a copy of his book "Arcology - City in the Image of Man" (1969 edition)
He actually started constructing one of his 'Arcologies' (he invented the term).
Yeah, I know the guy you're talking about, but there's something more recent. Floating arcologies with the flower kind of architecture.
probably be a lot more cities that look like this ....

Interesting.
The drawings/paintings I remember had farms on one level, apartments and houses on another level, and businesses on another level.
The concept was before the Internet. So I can see a combination housing and business level for things that don't require hands on... but hands on has slowly gone away.
Of course, unique hand made items might still be a business in this type of future. I have seen mention, particularly just before Christmas, of several people who make hand made wooden toys.
On a planet lacking trees, they might make unique plastic toys. A nice arduino type controller inside; and it could move on its own, have different color lights inside, etc.

Darrian used to have an underwater city.
Sadly it was destroyed when repulsor technology was retconned out of the game and there was no longer a technology to hold back the water

I think it's back in at technological level sixteen, so within Darrian industrial capabilities.
