The rider ascends between gleaming walls of steel, feeling a strange sensation, one of rising to infinite height from the earth. At the upper level two tremendous circular platforms begin to revolve. Far above, the ceiling of the Perisphere curves in a sweep, giving that same feeling of flight, making it seem that one is actually in a balloon on a skyward rise. Forests and streams and wide meadows stretch away to the horizon. Farms and homes stand beside gleaming streams.
Factories stand in special areas, and around the city itself are rows of garden apartments.
A great river winds to the sea. The daylight wanes and thousands of lights appear in the city. Windows in the homes glow. Lamps gleam on the river. Searchlights pierce the darkness of the harbor.
