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

Hlfe im Alltag
I would like an automated world for this time. I can organize my mobility without any special effort. Public transport can be used everywhere and at any time at low cost. Energy is available to everyone in sufficient quantities and at a reasonable price. Sufficient living space is available to everyone. Shopping can be done from home without any problems. Deliveries are made directly to the apartment. Cultural life is accessible to everyone.
Meine Träume + Wünsche
I would love to have a lot of money. To have no more debt. I'd like to have a great little new car, a detached house and would love to fly to Australia to explore the country. I would also like to have a decent monthly pension that I can live on. I would also like to travel more often each year and see the world. The world should be fairer, not the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. That is unfair. There should also be no more wars. I want to stay HEALTHY and not have to be a burden on my daughter. That is my wish
Europe, eine Zukunft in Wohlstand und Sicherheit
A united Europe in peace and with prosperity and security for all. A common security and defense policy, away from the USA, to show Russia's dictator the limits.
Great Britain back in the EU, Ireland united and Ukraine the newest member of the community.
un réve .
Europe would be united, France would have a responsible government without all the current lefties! which would control the migratory flow and in addition would take decisions quickly in order to make things advance without having laws or associations which prevent the good functioning of the society, reform of the constitution, in-depth reform of justice, dissolution of various commissions which cost France and brings nothing! in short there is work!
Hoffnung für die Erde
I dream of a future with the best education for all people in peace and democratic freedom in a truly united Europe. I hope that we will find peace worldwide, in which everyone respects each other, all other countries. In which the borders and freedom of all countries are respected. No one has to flee their country, their language area - they can live and work freely - without fear of threat. A world in which resources are conserved with respect for the environment, nature, all living creatures, water and soil, and of course only used to the extent necessary. We treat this earth in such a way that future generations will also find good living conditions.
Friedliches Leben in einer friedlichen Welt
The land is technically up to date. Taxes are levied fairly and everyone has almost equal space for themselves and a garden. Religions are banned, eliminating many differences. Thanks to fusion energy, sufficient energy is available everywhere at a very low price. Local and long-distance transportation has been reorganized and rationally planned so that punctual, clean journeys can take place reliably (like Switzerland or Japan now)
UTOPIE FÜR DIE ZUKUNFT
IN AN IDEAL WORLD, WE SHOULD IN FUTURE OBTAIN OUR ENERGY EXCLUSIVELY FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES, PRODUCE OUR PRODUCTS SUSTAINABLY AND ENSURE THAT NO ONE HAS TO SUFFER SHORTAGES, THAT WORKERS ARE PAID PROPERLY SO THAT THEY CAN LIVE WELL ON THEIR INCOME, THAT EVERYONE HAS THE SAME EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, THAT THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS ACCESSIBLE WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS, THAT THE ECONOMICALLY WEAKER STATES ARE SUPPORTED IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE FURTHER IMMIGRATION, AND THAT WORLD TRADE IS CONDUCTED ON FAIR TERMS.
Gemeinsam das Land verändern
A lot has changed in the past 20 years. After the government finally started to be there for its citizens and the country, things started to pick up again. The economy has recovered. We now produce almost everything in our own country. We import less food because we use our land to produce food. Fruit and vegetables are now only available when they are in season.
Many people use solar to power their homes. There are many more electric cars on the roads. Cyclists and motorists are equal road users. The penalties for misbehavior on the road also apply to cyclists. There is no two-tier society in the healthcare system. You get an appointment promptly, regardless of which doctor you see. Medicines are always available because they are produced in the country. Education is being taken seriously again. There are enough schools and trained teachers who take care of children's education.
Frieden
In 2040, all countries should finally understand and accept each other. No more war and in Germany most people should finally agree with each other
Everyone should be able to decide for themselves whether they want to drive an electric car or a combustion engine and everyone should also be given the opportunity to drive an electric car and not be charged a price that hardly anyone can afford
endlich eine lebenswerte Welt
For the year 2040, I would wish for the following:
President Putin and President Trump, as well as Xi Shi Ping, have died by then. A young generation would have grown up by then for whom humanity, justice, peace and humane ideals would have top priority. There should be no more wars worldwide by then. Instead, humanity would have become so mature and intelligent that there would be international cooperation on truly important projects worldwide. Such projects would be, for example, climate protection, environmental protection, species protection, combating hunger and poverty, limiting population growth and defeating terrible diseases.
Non à la Dictature €uropéenne !!
let's hope that in 2040, the U€ will no longer exist: it's an anti-people institution that's leading us towards misery and war, and I hope that my country will have already left this dictatorship long before ... as well as 0tan and the other related supra-national institutions (0nu,0M$,tan ..) that have no democratic legitimacy! Long live the liberation of Belgium! 1 Pays avec 1 Seul Gouvernement , le Peuple Souverain → il n' y a pas de démocratie possible sans Souveraineté Nationale !! merci quand même de m' avoir pris pour un Gogol , bon , c' est ok , j' ai à peu près mes 150 mots ☺ !!!
