Inside the first self-sustainable city on Mars - by ABIBOO studio
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

#OurFutures stories by EU citizens
Sustainable Future (Sustainable Future)
Sustainable Future (Sustainable Future)
I would like to live in a world of economic stability, public safety and international security, offering free, high-quality public health care and advanced education for all citizens as well as a safe and sustainable environment.
Changing people, changing world (Αλλαγμένοι άνθρωποι, αλλαγμένος κόσμος)
Changing people, changing world (Αλλαγμένοι άνθρωποι, αλλαγμένος κόσμος)
One issue that I want to improve is climate change. Take appropriate measures to put an end to the threat of our disappearance from climate change. In general, I would like to see a future without people’s insecurity for serious issues such as racism. Develop like people and limit hunger and access to education for all children in the world.
The problems of 2040 (Τα προβλήματα του 2040)
The problems of 2040 (Τα προβλήματα του 2040)
In 2040, we would like to see no pollution of the environment, non-discrimination and the elimination of racism. We could also find a solution for animals in need. Finally, something we would like to change the way some people think and behave.

Unpredictable (Μη προβλέψιμο)
I would like to live in an environment of equality, respect and dignity. In an environment where people have equal rights and opportunities.
A BETTER PART (ΕΝΑ ΚΑΛΥΤΕΡΟ ΜΕΡΟΣ)
A BETTER PART (ΕΝΑ ΚΑΛΥΤΕΡΟ ΜΕΡΟΣ)
I believe that the chances of an infected person to survive will also be addressed in the future, who have no treatment now. they will increase dramatically. Even though I believe that technology will evolve to a fairly large extent, this will mean that learning and, in general, the school will change towards the best. Students will not be forced to go to school and do an online course.
Aim for prosperity (Στόχος η ευημερία)
Aim for prosperity (Στόχος η ευημερία)
I would like all people in the future to have the same rights and opportunities in society regardless of nationality, gender, belief, sexuality, disability, etc. At the same time, I would like peace, democracy everywhere and states to work together for the common interest and the state of the environment not to worsen as a result of environmental change. Then, I would like all people to be able to work, with good working conditions and in areas relevant to their studies, so that they can meet their costs and any needs and wishes. Finally, I consider it important that public services, such as schools and hospitals, be improved and approached, even slightly, in terms of service and operation, because education and care must be accessible to all. Moreover, education can solve a number of problems, such as xenophobia, racism, sexism, etc. Critical thinking can also be developed. So the lives of all of us will be much better.
More fortunate (Ευτυχέστερο )
More fortunate (Ευτυχέστερο )
I want a more peaceful future, with a better quality of life for as many people as possible.
subverter (ανατρεπτικό )

I would like to see more efforts and action to protect the environment and that our society in general starts to accept all people and have equal opportunities and treatment for all.
Rewarding my efforts (Η επιβράβευση των προσπάθειών μου)
Rewarding my efforts (Η επιβράβευση των προσπάθειών μου)
The future I want and for which I have been trying now is to live in Switzerland or another important and organised one. I will have studied IT there, although I don’t know what exactly. But I want it to be specialised. I hope that I am more than comfortable and have a nice and healthy family. I want to be a good father and wife. I want to enjoy my life. To be able to do my hobbies, and one of them can become very expensive. 2022 is 18 years old and I will still be very young, but it will be the ideal life for me.
Oxygenness (Happiness )
Oxygenness (Happiness )
When I think about it, I really wish that -above all - the future me is happy. I want to achieve the goals i have set, have a steady job that I actually like, be with people I love and care about and focus on things that matter, and not on the things to come. As for the community, I hope that we fully understand that everyone is an equal part of our society and nothing makes them different. I believe that the time has come to move on from the stereotypical perspectives that belong in the oast and start treating people with kindness
THE CHAMBERS ( ΤΟ ΧΑΟΣ )
THE CHAMBERS ( ΤΟ ΧΑΟΣ )
In an ideal future, the state would not be synonymous with the church and therefore the daily life of citizens would not be affected by the religious attitudes that existed in the past. Self-awareness is important for this we need to recognise the system’s mistakes and remove the borders that divide people.
