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.

The future I want to live in is definitely a future in which people actually care about social issues, like Enviromental problems, unemployment, mental health issues and strongly supporting people that are considered “different”.
Achieve the goals for environmental sustainability

The consequences of climate change are going to be more than visible in 2040. I really hope that we will manage to achieve the environmental sustainability goals so as to be safe.

There will me nor more competition for money or power. Nature and food will be healthy for everybody on the planet. The economic system won’t use any natural ressources anymore and will be regenerative. Robots will work for people.

I have two scenarios in my mind. One in which we will continue like the other to become the third world war. I don’t know what is worse.
2040 a step forward (2040 a step forward )
2040 a step forward (2040 a step forward )
In 2040, adequate access to health will be provided to all. One negative I can think of is that there will be more environmental pollution and so may be a shadow of some goods like water, oil etc. I believe that in the future technology will have made huge leaps forward and the internet will PREVAIL and we will do everything through it. New treatments for various diseases will be found. I hope that there will be many more and better opportunities and more rights for people of all backgrounds.
All in harmony (All in harmony )

Everyone will be and feel safe by living in harmony nature with other people in the planet.

Our pets will live longer. Now, pet Oncology is a common and expanding industry. We will treat our pets with higher quality food and more advanced medical services. When it comes to pet health, it can only get better.

In 2040 I hope that the city I live in will be alive with cultural and social propositions, strenghtening community interactions within neighborhoods and town squares; that the best films the 7th art has created will be published in public squares, which technology and artistic artists will exist for young people at heart to explore their wildest ideas and dreams, that during festive periods neighborhoods make their own parties and build their own Bonfire for kids to jump over and folks to bond, to be able to go to parts to unwind and reconnect with nature. All in all, what I hope is more of a sense of connection with each other, and indirectly with the wider country and world, through play and art.
