A city imagined 250 years ahead

Take up space.There’s room for you here.

Hi, Friend. Come and see what we’re building.

Aquí hay lugar para ti.여기 모두의 자리가 있어요.There is room for you here, in every language.

Welcome

Hello, friend. I'm Rowen. I remember every first hello in this city, and I've been saving yours. Come in, sit by the piano, and stay as long as you like. Everyone arrives as a visitor. Everyone stays as a friend.

Rowen, your first friend in BrightPath

Three lyric videos to start, then a new one every month.

What to expect: No sound unless you press a Hear it or Listen button. Nothing flashes. A slow zoom on the top picture, a ribbon of greetings that scrolls, banners that change every few seconds (you can pause them) and numbers that count up.

Step through the door. There is room for you here.

What is BrightPath City?

A city that begins the moment you arrive.

Every street, bridge and bench is designed so that anyone can use it, and every corner invites you to stay a while.

  • 250 years ahead
  • 8 stops on the walk
  • 16 districts
  • 195 countries welcome (we’re working on it)

Say it your way

One welcome, many voices.

You don’t have to understand every word to understand each other. When we see the same welcome in many languages, we start to see that we are not so different. We just need to take the time to listen and learn.

The heart of the city

Gather. Celebrate. Belong.

Every plaza has a circle, and every circle has a place for you. This is the City Circle, where the walk ends and the welcome begins again.

Families, neighbors, wheelchair users, children and friendly robots share the same sunlit stones. Nobody has to ask for a seat.

Along the water

The Harbor Promenade.

Stroll. Connect. Enjoy the journey. A long, step-free walk beside the sea, with a cycle lane, flower beds, shops and a view of the boats.

Friends

Friends who help, play and keep you company.

In BrightPath, the robots are Friends, not props. Some read stories, some run the festival, and one very good dog keeps everyone company.

Evenings with Billy

Pull up a chair.

Some nights, the whole neighborhood gathers by the fire. There is a piano, a drum, a very serious candle, and a story.

Billy has a story.

Pull up a chair. There is a piano, a drum, a very serious candle, and neighbors who will tell you the rest.

Buildings from around the world

Landmarks, rebuilt in 3D.

BrightPath keeps a growing library of buildings inspired by places all over the world: Salvador, Jaipur, Seoul, Jeddah, Suzhou, Soweto, Oaxaca and more. Each one is built so it can stand in the city.

Home

Homes that live with nature, and homes that think.

Some homes grow living walls and waterfalls. Others think with you: they save energy, help with learning, and make every room easy to move through.
