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
I dream of a tech-less world
I would like to see that peole will eventually lose their interest in technology and not be over a screen all the time. I would also like the messages that peole recieve from the social media to change from something that makes a goot profit, to messages that can open our minds and make our world a better and safer place. I also believe that many of us have lost the meaning and quality of life in an indirect way through the social media. That makes me extremely sad. Of course, nowadays not having access to social media is highly inevidable, due to all the stereotypes and tasks we need to follow up. I am also very angry that we actually fool ourselves that we can be informed about various social and envirometal issues, because in reality even though some people might want to know what is going on in the world, social media stops them. So in conclusion, in 2040 I would like to particiate in elimitating all these disadvantages of social media and be able to focus on the real things that matter and I would also desire that people could finally understand what our life is all about.
*I could really write so much more about how I feel, however I am still very young and I dont know much so I would also love to analyze things exactly like that to our schools and not ancient things. please.
Querencia
My main goal for the future is success. In the future, I would like to have the work of my dreams, to be happy and happy. I would like to live abroad and I think it will be good to learn to work in a team and not leave anyone to eat me or succeed and try me. I want the world to be a more secure place without discrimination and peace in all states. I would like people to care about others and not be as smile as they are now. I would like to have done something about the world’s global problems such as climate change, poverty, etc. It would also be beautiful for life to be simpler as some years ago. By then, the health and law sectors should be tired so that there are no paralogous events. But although all this is sounding wonderful years now, we say (as Europe and the world in general) that we are correcting global problems, but in many times we have worsened
A healthy planet, a healthy home
The ideal future that I imagine in my head is a world where the earth is not in danger anymore and people are taking care of it. They have found many ways to be eco friendly on their daily routine and they don’t pollute the environment anymore. That way, not only our and future generations’ lifes will be saved, but also many animals that are almost under extinction will be able to live in their natural habitat again.
United (Ενωμένοι)
It seems to me that everything would be much better if people care for each other and did not look like their personal interest. By united, we could address various issues such as climate change. In this future, there would be no people “inferior” than others. I do not mean that we are all the same, I simply think that everyone is enough to unite us, even if we speak another language, we come from a different country, we have different habits, etc. I believe that people’s egoism can destroy them.
Fair climate for all
Everybody should have a nice and fun future. We are playing football outside on real grass, not the synthetic one that was projected 20 years ago.
We must find solutions to combat climate change and have new technologies to have real grass when the climate is warmer. We should fly less and use less cars, autonomous bikes are a very cool alternative!
We have to change our thinking, teach more about environment at the school. If we learn that at school we will know that all life.
For a better future (Για ένα καλύτερο μέλλον)
I would like 2040 to be more normal as a year and the whole world has calmed from covit and from all incidents of racism and intimidation. No longer underestimate the woman in all countries, the new generation we will be free from shooting and not creating serious problems. We must also pass well between us and avoid abnormal people and cause fear and terror.
Sisterhood
It would be a life where technology is part of our everyday lives so everything is easier because of the benefits technology can offer us. Moreover society widely accepts all social backgrounds and differences and people are open-minded. Schools and education also participate in the technological world. People are united and love each other .We managed to save our planet for all the environmental problems and now we leave at the world where justice technology and communication are three values that corporate.
Change (Αλλαγή)
For a better future, I would like technology not to evolve too much, so as not to bring more unemployment with machines. I would also like all people to be equal, not only in words but also in actions and actions. In the future, I hope that schools, whether public or private, will do a good and interactive lesson, not about the grades, but about the general knowledge and critical thinking of each pupil. Finally, I hope that our country will improve both in the economy, that we are not coloured and independent, and that our cities are clean and that we all take care of it. More generally, people in the future care about them and the city they live in!
