There is need of massive growth for the sustainability of cities and the maintaining the quality of city life. Massive urbanization can usually focus to social instability; depress the capacity of cities to be economically successful and environmentally sustainable. For increasing the citizens’ well-being, a very new model of sustainability is required, including greater incentives to reduce consumption, save energy, and protect the environment.

The present paper evaluates the origins, definitions, trends and pathways of knowledge about future cities. In certain, it examines the different terms and phrases that are used by key stakeholders concerned with the future of cities.
