This study takes Walter Benjamin’s idea of flânerie as a methodological tool designed to travel across imaginary futuristic cities in four science fiction films. The flanêur, therefore, is a cognitive operator that leads me to think of another way of appreciating films, creating my own time of observation and learning from fiction the ideas of the future that currently create futuristic urban landscapes. This study results from the research “Human Futures: the imaginary perception of urban environments and landscapes of the future in contemporary cinema”, which investigates the projections of the social imaginary about the future of urban spaces in science fiction cinema, and ponders on its reflexes in today’s society.
