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
Η καταστροφή του περιβάλλοντος
Η καταστροφή του περιβάλλοντος
Looking ahead, I believe that we will face many problems that mainly concern the environment. People’s indifference will contribute to its destruction. On the contrary, informing people and stabilising them can help to stabilise the situation.
A future without inequality (Μέλλον χωρίς ανισότητα)
A future without inequality (Μέλλον χωρίς ανισότητα)
— Full enjoyment of human rights — Freedom from prejudice (racist etc.) — Overall objective: Treating citizens as citizens of Europe/the world
Replacement of humans by robots and machines (Αντικατάσταση ανθρώπων από ρομποτ και μηχανήματα)
Replacement of humans by robots and machines (Αντικατάσταση ανθρώπων από ρομποτ και μηχανήματα)
Technological development. Teachers will have been replaced by robots. Cars will all be electric, not normally available. Everything will be done by machines. Job losses in each sector because of the evolution of the Dams

Destruction of culture and natural resources
Δεν υπάρχουν πλέον περιβαλλοντικοί πόροι/Περιβαλοτική καταστροφή
Δεν υπάρχουν πλέον περιβαλλοντικοί πόροι/Περιβαλοτική καταστροφή
I believe we will consume most of our natural resources in the near future. Also due to overconsumption, the waste that will be generated will be countless. This will help destroy the planet and make it non-inhabitable.
La verdadera gran Europa
La verdadera gran Europa
I would first like, after the situation we are experiencing, a Europe in peace. A happy Europe, without economic crises with widespread social welfare. A Europe with a good quality of life, with public health for all EU countries. A Europe that focuses on the climate by favouring public transport. A Europe where we can live with a good quality of life, living together with people of different traditions and cultures.
The existence of a woman (Για την ύπαρξη της γυναίκας)
The existence of a woman (Για την ύπαρξη της γυναίκας)
I believe that in the future there will be equality between the leaves. Equal opportunities, progression prospects, respect. At the same time, I would like to believe that in the future every woman will be able to feel safe on her own and that we will generally have created a society where women who are born and have to be breastfed have the possibility not to set aside their career for this.
Τραγικές Περιβαλλοντικές Συνέπειες
Τραγικές Περιβαλλοντικές Συνέπειες
I consider that in the future we will have serious environmental problems to the point where the environment will not be sustainable.
 Same happiness, differents countries.

Europe, my hope or inequality? (Europa, ¿esperanza o desigualdad?)
Europe, my hope or inequality? (Europa, ¿esperanza o desigualdad?)
The European Union is recognised as an important organisation in the international environment, which, since its early stages of creaci and integraci, has suffered from various times of crisis in the social context, such as the new challenges of the millennium, the harmonisation of the fiscal sphere, the major recession of 2008, COVID-19, among others. However, the organisation has restated in positive results that have followed important advances in integration, including cooperation and learning. Despite this, the European Union has been carrying with it a number of problems that have directly affected its position under international law, which have been present in its timetable for change since its creation, one of which is socio-econ inequality. The key cause of the inequalities that today is facing the European Union is based on the various responses of the eco-system to the international crises mentioned above. These reactions have led to an increase in social inequality, to the exclusion of social inequality, to the unequal distribution of wages in terms of wages, to differences in grams of calves, and to a growing concentration of wealth in social artefacts. Looking ahead, in 2040 I imagine a consolidated set of states willing to undermine these problems that are currently hostile to European citizens, a group of states working in partnership to deliver on the Ppol Agenda and fight for equity. Equality that permeates the social races of every European individual, so that we are all equal and have the same rights and abilities to go ahead. Putting an end to socio-econ inequality does not improve the quality of life of long groups of people, but, in turn, mean the parallel increase in structural reforms within the organisation for a pr, but growth as an international one, since the future of the European Union must be based on meeting social needs for the well-being of its citizens.
Future with scientific and technological advancement (Μέλλον με επιστημονική και τεχνολογική Ανέλιξη)
Future with scientific and technological advancement (Μέλλον με επιστημονική και τεχνολογική Ανέλιξη)
A future in which both everyday and more demanding processes will be more easily carried out, addressing the hardship that is a scourge for today’s society. Technological evolution, Artificial Intelligence, cryptocurrencies, increase in the price of electronic current
A better world/World I want to live in (A better world / Svet, v katerem želim živeti)
A better world/World I want to live in (A better world / Svet, v katerem želim živeti)
this is an overall change in social concept and regulation. This is something that you did not foresee in your “narrow” survey.
