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

ΟΛΟΙ ΜΑΖΙ
PEOPLE SPEAK A COMMON LANGUAGE. THE BORDERS HAVE DISAPPEARED. TRAINS TRAVEL AT BREAKNECK SPEED AND THE STATIONS ARE EUROPEAN CITIES. YOU CAN FLY TO MADRID IN A FEW HOURS FOR WORK FROM THE NEAREST STATION. AI IS THERE ONLY TO HELP ADVISE, NOT TO REPLACE PEOPLE.
new milenium ?! or old age
The future sould be that people can be free like a bird.all cars will become electric .drones become cars ,cars will fly ,and much more .if we survive all of the politic wars there will be a big progress,if we don't survive ,then ,the world will start from begining !that means ,start from 0 .
Мечтая и се надявам
In 2050 I want to see politicians sued for stealing from the state,no strays and injuries to animals ( to be punished for such acts),no collecting caps and aids to treat the children of Bulgaria,and the health fund to be able to cover them,no crashing our cars on roads with huge potholes,no starving.
O amanhã que escolhemos construir
In 2040, Europe is a model of harmony between technology, nature and society. Cities are smart gardens, with buildings covered in vegetation generating their own energy and pedestrian and bicycle-only streets.
The economy is circular, with no waste, and 100% renewable energy supplies self-sufficient communities. There's a lot of free time where people cultivate knowledge, leisure and well-being. It's a Utopian Europe.
Návrat ku koreňom
I would very much like to return the state of nature and human society to pre-2000, so that my children can experience what I did. Especially clean air and water, a peaceful life, a world without social networks, without traffic jams. More happiness from life, more understanding and kindness, more health.
Inatingível
From my perspective, the future would be free, completely free of wars, completely different environmentally, more civilized people at all levels. Much fairer justice and much more humanity.
Respect for others and more sensitivity towards children and the elderly.
Európa ébredj fel!!
Peace, no war, no threat of war. Let Europe recover economically and demographically. Europe should work for the betterment of Europe, not for the fictional distorted images of other continents. Reduce air pollution, but sensibly, without destroying ourselves with unnecessary excesses that every other country and continent laughs at. Europe should exist not against each other, but for each other!
Mársi élet valósággá válik
They arrived on Mars after 4 months of exciting and eventful journeys.They started to build the Martian centre, digging up the dormant tanks, training water, growing plants.Unfortunately, they stopped building the base soon after, as conditions were much harsher than they expected.The colonisation of Mars has started and will be completed by 2050
Οικογένειά στο μέλλον
Family, that's where I think we need to focus. I would like the family to be more close-knit, the bonds stronger and especially the presence of parents. We should work from home and be able to be close to our children. To learn anew to love and share the fellow human being
Lepšia budúcnosť.
I want there to be a better future. A future without stress and fear. Without the fear of losing one's job, so that everyone can do work that fulfils them. Without fear for housing that one will end up on the streets. So that there are no wars and people have security. I would like medical research to advance. To find cures for hitherto incurable diseases. That children dying would become a thing of the past.
Край на войните
What would I like to see change in the next 20 years? As impossible as I know it is, my wish is that the world enters a period of lasting peace. To me, wars, whether for power, money and/or territory, are the most senseless of human activities. I'd like to think that the day will come when we will transcend this foolish need.
Condicionantes
In the near future it will be necessary to pay more attention to the climate and to conflicts among the population.
We need to be more concerned about the climate. The concern is only with generating revenue, not with the consequences of this exploitation.
The choices that have been made by governments create more and more differences between communities, generating more and more conflicts in the search for better conditions.
