The Meta City
An Exploration of New Metaverse City Prototype
Project Description:
Decentraland is growing rapidly. With an increasing number of users, events and buildings, we believe in the future of Decentraland and Metaverse, and we want to push it forward through our expertise, and explore the Meta Live experience with users through this Research & Development project.
Phase One - Prototype Building
“Create a fancy, walking-friendly and vivid city in Decentraland.”
The Meta City Prototype Size: about 30 parcels

Problem Statement
What are the challenges for Decentraland CIties and Districts?
City Planning is Toooooo Traditional for Metaverse
Most of the city projects in Decentraland are similar to real life, which is extremely “wired“ from our perspectives. On the one hand, most of the current planning practice ideas did not echo the culture of Metaverse. On the other hand, most city planning did not echo metaverse characteristics, including no-gravity, infinity light, and programming integration.
Virtual Cities are Difficult to maintain vitality
The vitality of the city needs user traffic. And the traffic of the city relies on the projects and activities inside. However, the current activities are too decentralized that make city hard to concentrate their users. It is very easy to see big cities with cool structures but have no constant users.
User-unfriendly in Short Distance travel
Teleport functions make traditional long-distance vehicles meaningless, but people need to walk more enjoyable and efficiently in a short distance. We found out that only less than one per cent of people would use teleport within 8 parcels distance. And there is a lack of infrastructure that enable people to move faster and have more fun.
Strategy & Solutions
01/ Create a new prototype for virtual city that is fancy and professional
1/ Meta City will be the hi-tech and futuristic style
2/ Meta City will be a floating and moving city fully taking advantage of Metaverse physics
3/ Meta City will be formed by “Platforms“, it is a platform for Decentraland users, creators and all kinds of DCLers.
02/ Developing Traffic System to improve the short distance travel experience
1/ New City will publish an advanced traffic system for short-distance moving. Users can choose to walk, run on the “piano floors” and use the teleport robot, and hop on a UFO.
2/ New City will provide public facilities and landscapes for people to see, visit, and play.
03/ Adding Rewards System and Various Experience with in the city
1/ The New City will hold various events and competitions with rewards.
2/ The New City will publish NFTs collection Metadogpunks and do rounds of airdrop.
3/ Project & Event holders can have enjoyed the support ( Discount rents, NFTs and various resources) from our strong partners and ourselves.
