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
People and nature, and then the rest.
People and nature, and then the rest.
Iwould like to have a future, just a future. Nowadays we cannot be sure if we are going to be alive by 2040 because so many wars are taking place all over the world and global warming issues are starting to restrict the way we live in cities and towns. Having said that, peace and environmental awareness are the cornerstones of my ideal future in which people should put the survival of humankind first. There is one thing we can all agree about, there is no future without people and nature.

The EU we want for our children.
I would really like to live in a European Union more integrated, with less inequality between member states and having real progress about the next issues: -Green economy. -Maintenance and improvement of welfare state. -Strengthening of Democracy and EU values facing autocracies regimes. -Being independent producers in key raw materials, such it can be gas right now. In conclusion, having a more resilient and stronger EU in economic, social, political and environmental fields.

A strong and inclusive EU (Una UE fuerte e integradora )
A strong and inclusive EU (Una UE fuerte e integradora )
A future with a strong and influential European Uni in the future multipolar society. An EU that has regained Schuman’s inspiration has been committed to integration. It has managed to put an end to the unanimity that so many problems in pushing for ambitious action. Integration is the future of our pets and of this organisation, which has helped our development and well-being so much. M ‘s integraci’ signifies better coordination. A strong and ambitious EU where citizens are proud to be EUROPEAN
Europe, hope and coexistence.
Europe, hope and coexistence.
As an european young enthusiast I would love to be part of a highly integrated comunity motivated with sustainable progress and coexistence between north and south members. I believe that green energies and high technologies could be amazing industrial branches to develop (even more), but we need to protect our agricultural and rural sector, one of the bases of our culture. However, the globalization tides run fast and the european comunity need to learn how to evolve with the world. The inmigration problem could be mitigated with regulations of entry supported with an efficient integration programme that brings us the opportunity to mitigate our demographic problems, help the refugees and develop an ever richer european culture. To conclude I would like to express mi concern about the importance of strategic independence in crucial sectors, in order to be able to be ourselves.

Considering that I'm a woman I would like that our future has more opportunities for us. I am a european women so I'm thankful for the rights and opportunities that i have regarding women rights in past few years. But what i want is that the difference between women and men doesnt exist and that all women not only in some countries but for everybody who is a women feel safe and equal
The European Union as a precursor to a model of life to follow (La Unión Europea como precursora de un modelo de vida a seguir)
The European Union as a precursor to a model of life to follow (La Unión Europea como precursora de un modelo de vida a seguir)
In the last few cases, the European construction has been instrumental in giving certainty to the fundamental rights of its citizens, for example through the Charter of Fundamental Rights or the Treaties. However, it is not enough to preserve it alone, but we must move towards an improvement in this respect. Despite the fact that development and strategies to control inflaci, are essential in the EU, we want to start focusing on human rights situations in the Member States. As a result of the lack of tolerance in certain Member States such as Poland, the Union’s lack of power to act reflects its fundamental shortcomings. As a result, the future I want is the existence of a sufficient political will to reform the Treaties and to make further progress on the protection of human rights, since only you are able to do so. we will be a model for the international community, and the EU’s influence will expand. Let’s take citizens first for you thrive dynamically.

A Europe without borders, all the people together. Better using the same currency, and a common educational system
The future is youth
The future is youth
A future where young people would be better than now: where the unemployment rate will be lower, where everybody can study at the university with no economic barriers, where youth voice is as much important as “old” voices.

Natural trait/natural trout (الترواة الطبيعية/natural trout)
Excessive exploitation of natural resources and direct arrest of all things affecting natural resources The non-exploitation of the natural tranquilizer is excessive, and the arrest of all the things that tires on the natural tranquilizer is directly shaped.
Power awaker: Europe and the Semiconductor (Despertar de la potencia: Europa y los Semiconductores )
Power awaker: Europe and the Semiconductor (Despertar de la potencia: Europa y los Semiconductores )
A future where Europe is a serious power in the world, with semiconductors. The present and future are the chips, TSMC, Taiwanese, has a lithogr process that neither Samsung, Korea, can overcome. The potential of European engineers is hallucinating, I am sure that by preserving the potential of these engineers by staying in the EU and a good inverse as we know by making semiconductors, which means that there are barely enough lithogr bricas that are competitive on European soil, this gives us a free field to start doing things well from scratch. It can make the world a serious power in lithograf and semiconductors.
