I like looking at stuff like this, but it's a completely unrealistic view of humanity's future.

If we're really lucky, the cities of the future will look something like those in Blade Runner (minus the part about people living offworld) or Dredd, or even the Mad Max movies. But more likely, things are going to look more like 28 Days Later or The Walking Dead, or the scene of the future in The Terminator.

Just on the off chance these are anything but tongue in cheek, I think at least wrt tourism it is completely unrealistic.

It's hard to see how the cost and difficulty of interplanetary travel could in any reasonable (or just any) time frame beat other, new, forms of entertainment and relaxation that may constitute or replace tourism in the future. Completely realistic VR 'holidays' to anywhere, simulated or invented, comes to mind as an obvious alternative.
