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

A sustainable future (A sustainable future)
In 2040, I see a Europe and especially a France where the global warming is taking way more seriously than it is nowadays. A place of progress around energies, transport and everyday-life of each and every one. I see a respectful way to live with fauna and flora.
The evolution.
Everything in life is evolving. From living creatures to simpe objects . We as humans , the only creatures in this planet that manage to evolve both phycicly and mentally , are playing a very important role to that evolution . We have already successfully done so since the time of our birth but what is actually waiting for us in the future ?
First of all, in scene we still have so many unsolved questions , especially about our space and generally about a variety of cosmotheories , which i believe that we will find the answers that we are looking for in the future . Furthermore , i am very optimistic about travelling and living in other planets , which will eventually be inevitable .
Then , if science evolves so much it means that technology and anything that has to do with our health will eventually evolve too . So , maybe we will even be able to expand our living time .
In conclusion i think that many changes will happen in the future and i hope that we all will be able to see them .
A new start
By the meaning of future, I only imagine the world as a better and improved place. A place where you can live freely without having to be scared about diseases or pandemics,a place where your nationality, skin colour and language dont effect the way you are treated. But in twenty years time from now, i think the best improvement would be on the way we think as humans. More specifically, the ideal change for the human race would be to stop paying that much attention on developing electronic devices and to start thinking about the wealth of nature and how it is being destroyed. If people started taking these ideas into account, the world would be a better place.
A safe world with more opportunities.
In the future, I imagine a world with less air pollution. Nowadays, environmental pollution is one of the biggest crisis our society has to face, because if nothing is done, in less than 100 years there will be serious problems, like extinction of several animal species.On the other hand though,with technology's dramatical evolution, It is sure that a solution will come up. Also, in a more local level, in the future, I think that our educational system will give students more opportunities to follow a path, that may be more suitable for them. With our current educational system, student's choices are very limited and students that may want to follow a profession (like art or music) will have to apply for specialized schools , that have very limited positions. Luckily, people seem more open-minded nowadays, so it is most likely that things will change in the near future.
A better future for every one (A better future for Every one )
If i were a future european citizen i would like the sociaty to open and free and of course more digital , the health care system should be further improved in every mumber of the E.U. due to the increased rate of disease . There should be also improvement regarding the schools , there should be even more funding to countries that poorer compared to other more advanced E.U. economies in order to be also developed . We should take into consideration that while some student in more developed E.U countries go to fantastic schools , other european citizens do not have teachers to do lessons due to lack of resources . In addition we should also take stpes to solve the migration problem which is more common in the Mediteranian countries . All the coutries should equally share the refugees and migrants . The climate change is also an other very important issue , ALL the goverments should take drastic measures to address this issue. The justice that the safty should be of primary importance , we cant really feel safe when we are threaten by an other country
A Future With No Discrimination
I believe the future should bring about a lot of changes. The way the world has come to is truly sad and sometimes even nervebreaking, with all the things that have been going on since the first wave of the virus that nearly destroyed and us and caused us to sever the relationships between humans. However, I would most like to talk about the way minorities are being treated for a long time now, ever since the events of racism against several black people, back in 2019. After that, destruction and chaos followed as many minorities, such as black people, the LGBTQ+ community, were attacked for who they are and are still being treated with such awful way. Saying that equality among all people despite the color of their skin or their sexuality and sexual identity exist, is just false and the way I see it, it's something that should be changed as soon as possible.
Our future as better citizents
If i were a citizen in 2024 i would like to live in a city where people will care for the others. For example migrants or refugees should considered equal to us and with same rights.We shoud embrace them and help them to become a part of our society. These people are forced to live their country in order to find better living contitions or a better occupation. They may leave their country because of many problems such as war, climate change or unemployment.
Healthier individuals
With regards to a specific topic's improvement, it is imperative for me that i mention people's hygiene. The past years with the rise of junk food people with several diseases seem to increase rapidly, so in hopes to eliminate that drastic changes have to be made. For example, a course as for how to eat and live healthy on the school curriculum would be ideal. Ergo more and more people would be informed about the burning issue that concerns the society and as a result peoples lifes would be changed inevitably.
My ideal future (My ideal future)
A better future demands more things to be improved, so I would like to see a very different life in 2040. Firstly, in my ideal life, I would like people to be more literated beacause, in my opinion, lack of education is the main cause of a lot of problems. The educational system will be far more different and well organised so that students will love going to school and think that it's not overwhelming. People won't be afraid to express their feelings and their personality. People won't be judged about their skin color, their sexuality, their origin or their religion.
As for jobs, community will offer a lot of vacancies and more people will be occupied.
As for technology, I would like to see eco-friendly cars that won't cause air pollution.Even the big cities will be full of green.
Another issue that needs to be solved is living conditions. I hope that some day homelessness won't be a problem.
I think that my future will be an ideal place and very indifferent.
The ideal future
I imagine a future of great changes that will make our life easier and better. I can dream of a future that everyone could be cured from any disease and wouldn't need to spend their life in a hospital. I believe that until then education will have succed in educating young people to treat each other like humans, with new methods that would be more effective for students.I can dream a 2040 that young people would not have to migrate, as I believe that wars would stop exist with the help of technology that could find slutions to the major problems that cause a war. I need to believe that my children will live in a world where different is acceptable and unique and where reffuges would not be a proplem for the society but they would be a way of empower it and learn new things from them. Lastly, I hope that in 2040 the greenhouse effect and global warming would not be a fact but a distant memory and i believe that humans working together with the help of technology could achieve all of them so as to live with no fears or regrets.
The Perfect Future (The Perfect Future)
In my ideal future actions will have been taken to combat global warmth, many animals won 't be in risk of extinction. Furthermore, all wars will have enacted and humanity will have achieved peace on the global scale. Moreover, humanity will have promised significantly in the field of science. They will have an eco-friendly energy source that will be better than any other we have so far and they will be able to travel to PLANETS beyond our solar system. Lastly, everyone will be accepted for who they are and they’ll all live lives.
