Abstract
The paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of a city with traditional planar traffic mode. After the analysis of the main factors influenced a city's traffic, a suggestion of building part of a city's functional constructions underground is put forward to realize the idea of "Three Dimension (3-D)" in a future city. The problems of a future city include large population, traffic congestion, high working productivity, and social intensivism. Supported by high technology, it is necessary for a city to be developed from 2-D to 3-D in order to meet developing demands of human beings. It is also important to make effective use of a city's resource of space to improve the life quality and increase the preventive ability of disasters. Therefore, we strongly recommend a city to make effective use of its underground space, and construct a 3-D zoological city hinged on traffic.
