Inside the first self-sustainable city on Mars - by ABIBOO studio
Construction of the city of Nüwa could start in 2054 and will see 250,000 people live inside the rock of a steep cliff. Freeze my body, melt me in 80 years, and send me to Mars. Architecture studio ABIBOO has revealed its plans to create the first self-sustainable city on the Red Planet, which is set to be ready for residents in 2100. The city will be called Nüwa and will be located at Tempe Mensa on one of the Martian cliffs. Its position inside a rock on the steep cliff will protect its residents from radiation and meteorites (cool!) while still giving them

pohodová a klidná budoucnost
The future is very uncertain for a lot of people today and their children. I think it would be great if people didn't have to deal with the complex issue of housing. If good paying jobs were available to everyone so they didn't have to worry about not having a place to live. Just security in the basic necessities of life for everyone.
People should also look out for nature, housing with lots of green space, parks, forests, etc. So that young and old have somewhere to go and spend pleasant moments together.
It would also be nice if people were not so aggressive and mean to each other. To bring a bit of tolerance, respect and esteem not only for the elderly, but for each other in general. To be able to help each other selflessly when needed, to be able to say hello and even smile. Today's life is terribly chaotic, complex, demanding.
It's not easy to make the future better, to make it a little bit sunnier. Learn to solve problems calmly and together. So that parents don't have to deal with health care, like where I'm going to have my baby.
Just to try to calm down situations that don't need to be unnecessarily spiked, so that life itself is relaxed even if sometimes things go wrong.
Frieden und in Ruhe und Harmonie leben
Above all, I want to live in peace, that people understand each other and that it's not always about profit. That people have what they need to live. Healthy food and animals that are no longer tortured. We already have a lot of technical aids, which is great progress in this day and age, but AI must not get out of hand. People should show consideration for others.
Lepši planeta a život jako dřív
I would like the country to get right no disputes people would be good to each other and for me the most important thing animals not to die out and live freely have a beautiful life and people do not pollute the environment .
That people would treat our country beautifully and respectfully and appreciate being here.
I imagine life in the year 2040 so the earth will be beautiful full of beautiful and healthy nature and there will be no ugly and evil things destroying the planet so that electronics will remain as it is in this year so that they don't invent more crap , because if the world improves in technology the planet will die out stupid air and so on . I hope you understand how I wrote it
Ještě žijeme?
In 2040 it will be a completely different world, everything will be controlled by robots and artificial intelligence. I think there will be no money and even eating habits will change. More solar panels will be developed and we will use more sun. The weather will be around 10⁰c over winter and summers will be longer. Artificial intelligence will take over and we will be creatures of survival
Věda a technologie
People in 2027 started getting chipped, everything was already technologically developed. In 2030, cars started flying, so people didn't have to wait in queues, everything was faster. We started growing crickets for food, there are different farms. In 2040, scientists developed the dinosaur gene, so they started appearing and breeding them as pets.
Budoucnost s AI
People no longer had to work in the classical sense. Artificial intelligence (AI) has taken over most routine jobs - from administration to factory management. A basic unconditional income allowed people to pursue science, art or their own development. Human creativity became more valuable than manual labour.
Environmentally conscious future
Something that is incredibly important to me is environment and animal rights.
I would love to see more efforts towards recycling, and have paid recycling incentives for people. Right now you can take the glass beer bottles back to be recycled and get 2czk for each, it would be amazing if the same could be done for paper and other recyclable materials. That would encourage people to recycle more.
I would love to see more efforts put towards having charity events that fund companies which help endangered animals. More government organized incentives and events to help our environment. It could also be great to have events where people can take some clothing that is about to be sent to landfills and upcycle it, maybe also have more clothes that are thrown away from fast fashion clothing stores be donated to those in need here and around the world.
It could also be beneficial to have a small class in schools that teaches about the environment, how recycling works, and actionable steps everyone can take to be environmentally friendly.
Konflikt
In a better future, I would like to see more greenery, because at the moment there is a lot of deforestation and nature is declining. I also hope that the current conflict in Ukraine will be resolved and that everything will turn out well and not affect our next generations visibly. I think the war that is going on is almost unnecessary. In general, I think that in theory all the current problems, whether they arise or are ongoing, could be solved.
Človek bližšie k človeku aj k prírode.
I would like to improve the issue of the environment and personal communication between people.I imagine that car traffic will be banned in cities and that instead of parking lots there will be green oases with benches, fountains and playgrounds for children...birds will sing in the treetops...there will be grass and colourful flowers, bees, ladybirds, grasshoppers, butterflies everywhere...the children will play,feed the birds and watch the bugs and the parents will sit on benches,without mobiles and tablets,and talk to other parents...or have picnics in the grass...then in the playground everyone will play football,dodgeball,handball,hide and seek,chase...there will be laughter and relaxation everywhere and no one will be in a hurry.
zaujímavá, plná prekvapení
My future should be uneventful, peaceful and interesting. I want health care to be improved so that everyone has the opportunity for health care. That medicines of every kind are available. That every hospital has all the necessary facilities, that those facilities are new and functional...
Schöne neue Welt
We have a transparent and fair legal system, without corrupt judges, where all citizens get their rights. The EU has also been restructured and corrupt politicians have just as little room there as lobbyists. The bureaucracy and bureaucracy in Germany have been successfully dismantled so that the country can breathe again and tax money can be used for social purposes. The tax system has also been simplified and everyone now only pays 15% tax, regardless of whether they are rich or poor and regardless of their legal form. And the Emperor of Bavaria is now our Federal Chancellor and his name is Markus Söder.
Lepší zítřky
I envision more electric cars, technology on every corner, much more efficient schools for our children. I also hope there will be less war and nuclear weapons in the world. There will be more support for local agriculture in our country and stop just importing. All waste will be recycled and not just piled in landfills. There will be low inflation and people will be able to afford all sorts of things and not live paycheck to paycheck.
