This transition from wired city to a broadband city will redefine their urban landscape structure. It makes easier to build new fully digital smart building, as now they will use plug-unplug system for cabling system (electricity and communication) rather than make the whole new cabling system from the source to their building.

     The system will allow them to connect one building with another building, as each of the building stands as independent unit although in same way it dependent to another independent unit (independent also means the building self contains and able to give service for its own need: electricity, water, air distribution and control, and waste processing). Dependent means one building need another buildings, another public spaces and peoples to form the city as whole.

     For better understanding, one building represents one chip of puzzle, and another building as another chip of puzzle and together with another chips: street, playground, public transport they will form this urban landscape. But each of these chips is not a definite piece; it could be removed and replaced with another chip but do not necessarily to rebuild the whole system. It might change their appearance as whole but does not change the entire system.

     With this system, it makes possible one building can be accessed both vertically and horizontally. Vertically could be a direct access from underground station on the ground floor of the building to the street level or from underground level to the offices or directly to the helipad on the roof of the building. While horizontally means one building connected to another building via a bridge or connector on one or more floors. It will make easier for person moving from one building to another without necessarily go to the street level first.

     It will also make possible to make the street level for pedestrian only or access for underground station, vice versa. The new city will have more open space for people gathering/plaza, more garden, and playground. New open spaces, also means more place to work freely everywhere regardless working as individual or as a group of people (networking), thank to the broadband communication system that cover up the whole city.

     Although with more communication wave cover up the city, the city may become cleaner as the street level for transport system has moved to the underground transport system, both for mass or private transport. This urban landscape system means more sunshine to the street level of city, clear direct view to the sky, more trees that means better air quality and more organized view of the cityscape.
