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

Energoefektivitāte
I want to think in the future not only about vision, but as much as possible to fulfil it and how it will affect people of all layers, not only the rich. Thinking of the CO2 and energy sectors does not steer blindly in the same direction, but leaves people a choice. There are internal combustion engine cars available that are not oppressed and are not imposed and lobbied by electric cars, as the salvation of the planet. In the production of electricity, modern electric power reactors are being built that are capable of producing the necessary electricity efficiently.
Sollievo, tranquillità, vita.
In 2040 I will be 78 years old, I think I will appreciate a quiet reality.I would like the city to be full of green areas, with many trees, no cars, but many quiet, small but safe means of transport. I do not have many other desires, I would like my body to age without pain as well as my mind.
Natuur
I wish by then there would be more nature. That it is forbidden to lay front gardens in stones, that people who have a house and garden should provide more greenery.
That a forest, a park is within walking or cycling distance. That the car is more banded from the cities, but can still get a place on the outskirts of the city. That there are so free buses or cheap public transport that runs to the city.
So that people also seek more connection with nature, go for a walk and only have the benefits of nature.
Atsigavimas
It's hard to predict what the future might be like in today's world, but I hope that thanks to science, technology, business and charismatic and intelligent heads of state, European and American states will prosper, recovering from the 2022-2027 political strife, military conflicts, armaments and tensions over the threat of attack. I believe that countries will live in the "golden age" of scientific progress and economics.

Energy is based on renewable sources and nuclear energy. Transportation is mainly electric. Hydrogen batteries are in common use. Coroby is treated based on the genome. Reproduction is reduced and the population is reduced by at least 1/3. Vegetation absorbs CO2 and is climate control.
Une France aux français
Laws have changed and hardened. Not all people born in France are automatically French. They take the nationality of their great-grandparents, and also all the descendants, which reduces the population of foreigners and let the French live in their country quietly and without fear, or to be raped, robbed or assaulted. Life would be more peaceful, the streets would become clean again, the people polite. All acts of incivility are punished, such as coughing without putting your hand, or throwing waste on the floor, buying in bulk or bringing back containers, which would reduce waste.
Nameti države
Bolja budućnost za mene nisi financijsku neovisnost. Privatni posao, odgovaram za svoje uspjehe i greške, ne podliježem autoritetu, brinem za svoju obitelj i opskrbljujem ju sa svim potrebnim stvarima.
Kako bi to sve bilo izvedivo treba premostiti sve poreze,prireze i ostale namete koje država stavlja na teret malim poduzetnicima,a to je isključivo na njima da smanje. Njihovi nameti su svakim danom sve nedostižniji i sve veći.
Jedan radni dan
I was woken up by a personal alarm clock with fresh coffee and baked bread. After a sonic bath, I wore nano-fiber clothes that measured my vital signs for an electronic doctor. A flying taxi and today's digital newspaper were waiting for me at the entrance. In the office, the robot secretary sorted the mail. She immediately started dictating letters and sending them to certain addresses that I chose.
Eine gerechte Zukunft für den geschundenen Planeten Erde
There are no more nation states. A world government controls the most important subject areas for every human being equally, without prejudicing or discriminating against any area, any continent, any religion. No one in the world has to go hungry or worse: Suffering from thirst. In every country there are countless centers where people have access to the knowledge of humanity, in the form of books, images, sounds, music, films, files and and and. An intelligent system of computers, data centers, public offices, etc. pp. ensures that the knowledge just described is not distorted, distorted or even destroyed. Many diseases that still plague humanity at present (2025) have either been "exterminated" or reduced to a minimum. The rights of ethnic minorities are not suppressed. It is possible to travel virtually, not only to all desired areas on this earth, but also back in time. The energy supply is largely managed by solar energy, fossil materials or nuclear fuels are only used in exceptional cases or for the purpose of historical research
Zmiany w przyszłości.
I can't imagine what will happen in a dozen or so years and whether I will live to see them at all. I am sure that artificial intelligence will dominate, I am afraid that people will be left without a job. The next thing is cars - there are more and more of them, there is no place to park, there are traffic jams, you can't get there on time. I probably imagine roads above or around the blocks - somewhere I saw a similar photo, where something similar already works.
La simplicité et le respect en 2040
In 2040, life is peaceful in Europe, everyone smiles, there is no aggression in any country. If there are problems between people, there will be people who will be responsible for resolving problems amicably, and everything will be simple. There will be freedom of expression, respect for everyone's ideas.

In 2040, they had cars that don't need gasoline, but will work on electricity, and everything will be avomtatitzed at all. Something will probably change about the exploration of the universe and the worlds around us. I wish there were no wars, but that's not going to happen. I think we're going to live in such a polluted world in 2040 that it's going to be pretty bad. Social disparities will increase, there will be too many people in the world, so I'm worried about how it will be. Artificial intelligence will be everywhere in our lives. It will probably have a negative impact on all of us, there will certainly be no greater prosperity. I imagine that everything goes to hell if we don't fundamentally change our relationship with the Earth and the environment. I'll be gone, but I'm worried about future generations.
