The city with LEGS: Amazing plans for eco-friendly walking metropolis that could go in search of better jobs and scenery 

  • Named the ‘Very Large Structure’, the design was created by Madrid-based architectural student Manuel Dominguez
  • The nomadic city would use caterpillar tracks – similar to the ones used for tanks – to roam around the world
  • The design builds on an idea proposed almost 50 years ago by British architect Ron Herron to develop a 'Walking City'

magine living in a sustainable city with legs that could move anywhere in search of better jobs and resources.

Your postcode would constantly change as you’re taken around the world on board a gigantic caterpillar-like metropolis. 

It might seem like an absurd concept, but this is exactly what is being proposed by Madrid-based architectural student Manuel Dominguez.  

In his vision, the nomadic city would use caterpillar tracks – similar to the ones used for tanks – to move to areas were work for residents is easily available.

'I wanted to built territorial management between matter and energy, that will bring several positive effects,' Mr Dominguez told MailOnline.

'These include re-equilibrating the population between rural and cities, environment renewal and offering new employment,'  

Named the ‘Very Large Structure’, the walking metropolis would have everything you’d expect from a city, including sports facilities, restaurants, universities, hospitals and libraries.
