Hi.
未来＝future, just "future" in general
将来＝ one's future, someone's future, some human-being's future
(未来・将来）の都市の設計図を頭に描く
・・・・未来 is correct.
私の（未来・将来）の人生プランを頭に描く
・・・・・・・将来 is correct.
あなたは（未来・将来）、どんな人になりたいですか？ 大統領になりたいです。
・・・・将来 is correct.
タイムマシンに乗って、10年後の
（未来・将来）へ行ってみたい
・・・・・・未来 is correct.
タイムマシンに乗って、１０年後の（未来・将来）の自 分を見てみたい。
・・・将来 is correct.
Hope this helps.
edit) This is what I think, as a native-Japanese speaker.
But my Japanese dictionary defines something different.....
It says that "将来 is nearer future than 未来, in general."
To be honest with you, I disagree the dictionary's definition. I strongly believe that mine is better.
But I lost my confidence, after looking at my dictionary...
