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
Preparing Ireland
I would like to see Ireland more prepared for storms. Cutting down tree's away from the roads and power lines and when shops lose electricity, solar powered power will then kick into place. Then they wouldn't have to close. Let's all work together now and prepare ourselves. Because global warning is happening.
SPERANZE PER IL FUTURO DEI NIPOTI DI UNA NONNA
I would like Islamism to no longer exist in the future of Europe. I would like Europeans to regain their traditions and culture and that we no longer have to be afraid to travel around the world.. For my grandchildren I dream of a Europe where there are no social contrasts, where in all countries wages are equal, where work ennobles man. and I add that the new Europe should give us security and serenity. My greatest wish is that Europe will unclutter itself and think about helping young people to live more decently
un mondo migliore
a cleaner and more peaceful world and all people happy.
a sea where nobn is more plastic and ships that pollute
a world full of lush trees
a world where banbies are happy to move as they wish
a world where there is no more poverty
where all citizens of the world are treated equally
where mobility is cleaner and non-polluting
Green Deal - Mission accomplished
I hope that the EU, but also the entire global community, has managed to achieve the climate protection targets that were once set. It has succeeded in unsealing land, restoring rivers and forests to their natural state and significantly slowing down the excessive extinction of species.
Severe penalties have been imposed and enforced for deliberate denunciation of agreements on climate, species and human rights.
People have realized that there can be no infinite growth and that everyone has the same rights
Moje nadzieje
The domination of Russia by the EU and the reduction of its influence on the world economic system. Definitely strengthen democratic forces in Europe through significant economic development. I would like to see Europe become a significant force in the world. I want peace in Europe, but I'm afraid it won't be possible without a war with the East - Russia. Its policies are incredibly aggressive toward other countries, and I don't see much room for improvement.
Domani
Year 2040. Wars have remained in the distant past. People are living in complete harmony. Science has flown light years ahead, and for many diseases considered incurable in the past there are now cures at hand. You see machines in the streets powered in innovative ways, but also machines in the sky. The world has changed
Un mondo di armonia
I wish the planet was in better health. Animals are no longer in danger of extinction or a victim of human ambush. This would help restore the cycle of life as well. It would also be necessary to stop polluting in this way with industry. Animals and humans would live in harmony, each respecting the other's place and life. Balance when it comes to food is also very important. Having plenty of food is not enough if it is not equally distributed
A Sustainable and Thriving 2040
In this future, renewable energy powers everything—solar, wind, and fusion energy have replaced fossil fuels entirely. Public transportation is electrified, efficient, and widely accessible, reducing the need for individual car ownership. Urban areas are filled with green rooftops, vertical forests, and community gardens that improve air quality and provide fresh food locally. Smart technology ensures
Siamo al sicuro
I would like the future to be like the past fifty or so years ago with less cars, less roads, but with computers and smartphones to always be reachable where you are and have a normal connection with other individuals without social networks so there should be neither Facebook,, nor Instagram, etc.
a etc. only Whatsapp could coexist in this future maybe those jobs that no one wants to do anymore like the farmer be done by the intellingent robots who understand how to manage the plants well and that the world is always spied by satellite cameras that there are no dark corners to spot the crook or crooks right away so that we can immediately go get them and maybe each of us have a chip implanted that if by chance one dies already in the station comes to check
Look back in Nostalgia
So as I look back over the last 20 years I see how AI has dramatically changed how we live. There is no never a time when we can't just say I wonder what that question means. Instantly we get the answer. And then there are all the robots doing our jobs, whilst some of them were mundane and humans either did not like doing or in some cases refused to it, alas it has made us lazier. And then communication has now become so electronic driven that we now interface via screens. Ah remember the good old days when we met in person, had a coffee, and a chat and shared our emotions freely, sometimes ending out meeting with a physical handshake or even a hug...... now its all emojis and virtual high fives. To think that in my lifetime, computers were the size of rooms, phones were in boxes on the side of the roads or if you were lucky to own one, attached to the wall. Remember how we messaged people by letter and waiting patiently sometimes for weeks for a reply and did not get angry when we did not get a response instantly. But now life is better or at least that is what they say, isn't that right Alexa or are you Siri
Utopie
I'd like to see world peace, with everyone eating and having water.
In the future, energy will be available too.
We might be able to drive flying cars without accidents.
People would be able to hear each other and speak with direct understanding or automatic language translation.
Let all religions get along together in benevolence.
ITALEXIT
Italy outside Europe, with the Lira again, with its own economy and an identity as an elitist nation, dedicated to work with so many opportunities to excel in every sector, agricultural, industrial, tourist, artisan, livestock, food, thanks to our beautiful land, located between sea and mountains that make us a unique nation in terms of beauty and variety of territory, not to mention the artistic, landscape riches that everyone envies us, then if we talk about culinary, we are at the absolute top.
