The Intercept dug up quite a gem from the Pentagon via a Freedom of Information Act request.

The year is 2030. Forget about the flying cars, robot maids, and moving sidewalks we were promised. They’re not happening. But that doesn’t mean the future is a total unknown.
According to a startling Pentagon video obtained by The Intercept, the future of global cities will be an amalgam of the settings of ‘Escape from New York’ and ‘Robocop’ – with dashes of the ‘Warriors’ and ‘Divergent’ thrown in. It will be a world of Robert Kaplan-esque urban hellscapes – brutal and anarchic supercities filled with gangs of youth-gone-wild, a restive underclass, criminal syndicates, and bands of malicious hackers.
