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
Waking up in 2040, I would expect to find myself in a better world..
Waking up in 2040, I expect to find myself in a year where sustainability of our planet is first priority, poverty has been eradicated and cancer has been addressed as a decease.
Prosperous
In the future, I'd like for every major problem our world is currently facing (world hunger, environmental problems, for example) to have been solved or at least have a known solution. I'd like for everyone to be able to live a better than average life, meaning they would, in turn, be happy, productive and more willing to help others be their better self.
Fairness and equality for all (Δικαιοσύνη και ισότητα για όλους)
There will be no comparisons between humans due to the colour of their skin. Everyone will be equal, have the same rights and a place in society.
Equality and non discrimination
The future is ours. Let’s make it what we want it to be
The Ways of the Future (Οι Δρόμοι του μέλλοντος)
Roads without lights, traffic signs, etc. Electric cars and general vehicles will communicate with each other which, in combination with existing and constantly evolving technologies, will reduce (perhaps even eliminate) traffic traffic, etc.
Education: The key to improvement
I imagine a world where education will be accessible to everyone, a world where everybody is going to have a high academic level. Artificial intelligence will be used in schools to achieve the maximum rate of learning and help absorb a lot of information. As a result, evolution rates are going to get faster and faster.
science successfully tackles serious diseases around the globe (η επιστήμη αντιμετωπίζει με επιτυχία σοβαρές ασθένειες σε όλο τον πλανήτη)
I want some major diseases such as cancer and pandemics across the globe to have been successfully tackled by science in 2040.
Environment, Metaverse and Capitalism
Environmental issues would be solved. Capitalism would thrive with a tax system that can support poorer classes, government infrastructure and services without affecting personal development. The Metaverse would be integrated into our life and would co-exist with the physical world. Modern slavery would be abolished, and all workers would be paid a salary depending on their job and performance.
A GREATER FUTURE ( "A GREATER FUTURE")
I imagine a better future in terms of education, medicine and, of course, technology.There is a need for medicine to function in difficult cases of surgery, etc., using nanotechnology, in education to change laws that prevent students from ‘doing’ things and ‘dreaming’. Last but not least, I cannot predict something because it is progressing fast enough in relation to our imagination.
Be there healthy, hard working and happy
Hopefully my children will live in a sustainable environment, in peace and prosperity. So I will be able to enjoy my plans for retirement.
Almost Borderless (Almost Borderless)
The importance of borders is less and less relevant and they don't restrict the immigration of people. Countries will have bilateral agreements for people to move freely.
Physical and central society (Υλικο-κεντρικη κοινωνια)
Focus harder on the acquisition of material goods rather than intellectual improvement in human beings
