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. Its position inside a rock on the steep cliff will protect its residents from radiation and meteorites (cool!) while still giving them

Мирен свят!
Мирен свят!
I want the continent to be peaceful! No wars and all people to live in peace. I would love it if all countries in Europe were part of the EU and NATO or other economic and military alliances, and traded freely with each other, and did not screw each other over! I want an economically strong EU, secure countries, people working for a strong EU and a normal and free business environment! I want good education, tolerance between people and impartial media! I want my children to grow up in a free Europe without aggression and without fear - neither of other countries and dictators, nor of corruption within countries and the EU. I want everyone to be able to choose where to live and work - to move freely within the European Union, to be able to do business in any EU country. Perhaps a good idea is to have a United States of Europe - like the US - with a common government, army and so on. I want to be able to actively participate in the life of Europe! I want to see a Europe with an independent united army to protect us, with common laws and without corruption, racism and intolerance. This is the future I want!
Viitor pentru oameni
Viitor pentru oameni
Full freedom for each person to express themselves and vote, perhaps on open lists. The law must be clear, without interpretation and must be respected by all, especially by those elected to leadership positions. Every month there must be a press briefing - all of them, not elected - asking questions picked from every corner of the country, those in power must look after every single person, whether they voted for them or not, so participative leadership. Relations with neighbors and any other country must be good, cooperative for the benefit of all. The planet will always exist, we must take care of it but not at the expense of humans, the same goes for climate change, humans must not suffer because of it, measures must be taken to avoid flooding in human settlements. For the rest, maybe less research and spending on armament, testing.....these do more harm. People must understand the bad side of war, death and destruction!

Technology has advanced to an extreme degree, replacing humans in many areas. Such as factories and various businesses. In this way our lives may be made easier but unemployment is rising because we have robots doing the work of humans.
Az ideális élet
Az ideális élet
People would be happy to live, no matter how poor they are. Executives would not ruin people.Everyone would get a decent income and there would be no need to count what you eat at the end of the month. People don't hate each other, they help each other. We don't envy each other. Everyone would have a chance for a better life, for peace.
Социална сигурност за всеки.
Социална сигурност за всеки.
In any case, I want the future to be better and more secure than now. The main problem is social security for vulnerable groups. I want more investment in providing for every living person on planet Earth. We have enough resources for that. I want the technology that leads to destruction and wars to be redirected towards wealth creation.
Moj idealni svijet
Moj idealni svijet
We live in a dry society, with no cars and no irons. Technology has advanced, self-driving cars are becoming common, people are more and more using public transport, they are sowing, they are guarding the countryside... Food is plentiful, lives are not being killed for food. Lives do not stop for puppets anymore, they have a happy home. There are no unwanted fighters, they are all wanted, chosen and happy. They also have a home and a future to live in, and they are happy to have a place to live.

Solaris: A Community Reclaimed
Solaris: A Community Reclaimed
In 2040, my community thrives on interconnected, local energy grids. Rooftop solar panels and community wind turbines power everything, from homes to public transport. We've eliminated reliance on fossil fuels. Green spaces are abundant, with urban farms and restored natural habitats flourishing. Children play in clean, safe parks, and air quality is pristine. Technology seamlessly integrates with nature, enhancing sustainability, not replacing it. We prioritize community well-being, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and connection.
Ha még élek...
Ha még élek...
It's true that I'll be old enough by then, if I live to see it, but I'm confident that it will be easier for me to travel to other European countries and not have to worry about living expenses. I hope that I will be able to live on my pension and even save some of it. The health care situation in Hungary will improve so much that it will be able to deal effectively with my health problems as I get older, and I will not have to feel like an unnecessary burden when I go to the doctor or hospital. I will spend a lot of time with my family and I will also have time to pursue my hobbies. I will be able to have an environmentally friendly heating system in my house and I will be able to afford environmentally friendly transport. I hope to have the energy to cultivate my garden and to provide my family with eggs and meat from my own poultry.

Да бъдем по-добри
Да бъдем по-добри
Although I hope with all my heart that people will see that love is the greatest gift, I don't believe that will happen. Man invented the bow and the spear before the plow and the wheel, and so the hope of peace is a chimera. I pray that we at least get better. Our relationships with each other, our treatment of children, our treatment of animals can reach a higher level. The wars will probably not stop, but it is up to each of us to ensure that there are no children's tears, no animals dumped, no elderly people abandoned. Politicians may rule the world order, but the little things are not up to them, but up to each of us. I hope that technology will be in the direction of making life easier and more pleasant, that disease will give way to knowledge. The vast capacity of the human mind to be used in the fight against hunger, to have no homeless. I hope. I pray. If each of us spares no effort to do even the tiniest bit of good, the world will become a better place. And we will all be happier. If everyone cleaned up their little house, the whole city would shine. It is up to us. We don't need money, we don't need resources, we just need a little willingness and heart to do it. Hopefully.
