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

Μια καλύτερη κοινωνία
Μια καλύτερη κοινωνία
I think human relations will be the issue which, without us realizing it, will be the one that will have suffered the greatest difference from today. I wish we would understand that it is more important for a society to have solidarity, compassion, understanding between its members and not to become all so competitive with each other for the sole purpose of gaining privileges without any moral interest. However, I think that the solution to this issue has not yet been found.
Viata linistita in famile

I would like the working hours to be reduced to 4 days a week, to be able to work more from home to promote family time. His fie promovate produse romanesti sa scada rata importurilor. His aiba toti toti cetatenii accesses the services of sanatate if his creieze locuri de munca.

Life to be better for our children to be able to develop not only theoretically but also practically technology to be more advanced but not robotic life to be easier for our children and not to face financial difficulties
ειρηνικό, γεμάτο αγάπη και κατανόηση
ειρηνικό, γεμάτο αγάπη και κατανόηση
A peaceful future in a society equidistant from wealth and poverty, with equal opportunities for the children of the world. Most importantly with minimal pollution of the environment and with absolute respect for the diversity of people and gender .bonds of love ,respect and dignity. Without wars and stench with confidence for a better future for our country.
Εκπαιδευτικό σύστημα
Εκπαιδευτικό σύστημα
Education in Greece and in Belgium, where I lived and worked as a teacher for a while, is at a tragic level. Teachers and infrastructure need to be given more attention by governments, otherwise the future of the European Union is bleak. We need a plan and funding, expertise, and people who know what they are doing, not just politicians who want kickbacks and get involved in fields they do not know about only to poison something beautiful and reap personal benefits through corruption and dirty methods.
Családom jövője
Családom jövője
I would very much like to see citizens having a greater say in the governance of their own country in the years to come. In education, in society and in the family. The wars should end as soon as possible. It is important to put healthy food on the table. For this reason, Hungarian agricultural production should be very much emphasised, and families should try to become self-sufficient again, if they can. I am optimistic about the future of my family members and my children.
Speranța revine in sufletul oamenilor
Speranța revine in sufletul oamenilor
We live with the hope that everything will be okay, not to live with the worry of the bills, not to live with the worry of tomorrow, I would like to go out on the streets and see happy people, not worried as it happens now, I would like everything to change for the better, especially for the children, for today's generation, to have a better future.
Élhető Európa
Élhető Európa
Mitigating climate change is one of the most important challenges facing humanity today. Freshwater supplies and green areas in Europe must be preserved. The houses of the future will therefore be covered with vast green surfaces, producing their own energy. Electric and automated vehicles will take the lead in transport. In our homes, humanoid robots will help us in every day life.
Сигурност
Сигурност
I want to see the economy of all countries equal, to fix the poverty problem. I can imagine pensioners not worrying if their pension will be enough this month. I imagine they don't worry about whether they can pay their bills, or whether they have to choose to buy food or medicine. I hope very much that we are all equal. Wages enough for everyone, not worrying about whether we will have enough to feed our children, not worrying about being made fun of for wearing the same pair of underpants three days in a row. I hope technology doesn't displace books, doesn't displace the development of people, of children. What I want to have in 20 years is peace and security.
Europe is dying
Europe is dying
It's 2040 and Europe was conquered my muslims. Now everyone must follow the Quran and fear the Sharia law. When we wanted unity, we didn't mean this. I wish that we could turn back time and realise that we're being invaded, however that's not possible. The european values are dying and I fear that there is no future. Whoever managed to leave are the lucky ones, now it's close to impossible.
Crescimento de Portugal a várias velocidades
Crescimento de Portugal a várias velocidades
A country in increasing development with an opportunity for equality for all people with better living conditions with a significant increase from economy and with greater creation of employment companies, in the field of tourism in rapid expansion and with excellent infrastructures in the field of transport.
Evolutia
Evolutia
In 20 years, everything will hopefully change for the better, technology is advancing every year, artificial intelligence has appeared, but we hope that robots will not take over or even destroy human nature. I hope that in the future the world will be like a paradise, living together with plants and animals and trying to save the world around them in every way.
