Domed Cities:
"Domed cities can be illuminated by daylight without direct Sun. That part of the dome through which the Sun doesn’t shine directly would be transparent. In summer the dome would be protected by polarized glass; during the sunny hours it would not hold heat. In winter the Sun would penetrate the dome.
“The domed city will be not only practicable, but pretty. Covered streets-- like the delightful arcaded Italian variety-- will have outdoor restaurants and exhibits. Windows may be open year- round. There’ll be a dust-free atmosphere. The domed city will indeed be nothing to sneeze at.”
