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

building materials must be produced from waste so that module houses are built cheaply and for everyone so that the poor and homeless have a safe place to live. health treatments will be used online so that you do not have to meet physically. in stores are goods in recycled packaging and everyone scans and pays for goods themselves via mobile. all food that cannot be eaten must be reused for other things and date items must be distributed to the poor. there must be many more wind turbines and solar cells on all houses. more people must work but at reduced hours and people with diseases must be allowed to flex jobs.

Again in the morning on my island and today I will try to catch fish if there is one more I know from my childhood because invasive species have exterminated everything that was domestic . in the last decades Sara is my best friend and she is an artificial intelligence she is sometimes envious because she is much more human than my friends that I see only over the Internet because there is a lot of radiation in the daylight so that's why we live at night . With remembrance I remember a carefree childhood and then capital defeated common sense and now money is no longer worth anything because only those who have goods can be tramped for the necessary groceries, that is, the trade in goods reigns and those who do not eat GMOs and live in large cities that are owned by a few of the biggest culprits for the condition we are in. All the stories about Mars and other solutions have fallen into the water. Sara likes it when I talk to her about old times, so we discuss everything that's good and bad. I feel a little like a pirate because I couldn't turn myself into the hands of corporations, but I couldn't do that because I would be a soulless man if we could call it a man. There were plenty of memories to catch something to eat and the fish now lives at night because of the unbearable heat of the day, so I sit on my old bike and go to night. I don't know if you've noticed that I started the story with morning e morning is now night I don't have to explain until tomorrow because hope dies last

The main focus would be on local food production without unnecessary transport of commodities, which can be grown in the given landscape due to problems. Make more use of composting so that tanto recoverable waste does not rot in garbage cans. Better to retain water in the countryside and not to waste drinking water to flush the toilet. Prohibit the use of demonstrably harmful substances in cosmetics and drugstores (hormone disruptors, etc.).

I live happily on the shore. At the end of winter, I can put my small sailboat back in the water to go back fishing and enhance our food. All winter we ate what we sown and harvested. We live comfortably in a self-contained house (roof panel, water recovery). The entire global power grid has been shut down since the various wars. Everyone must manage alone or in community. The more no industry, the more nothing works; everything has to be done again, we find ourselves at the same level as our grandparents in their time. The world has been destroyed by wars, artificial intelligence. The positive aspect is the return of nature and nature, the work of its hands, safety and community life.

I suppose the world will be even more dependent on , electronics, especially as far as , is concerned, they could run on . carbon dioxide. I am afraid that everything will be electronic and therefore it will be easier to cause problems to someone, whether with , housing ownership or existence as a whole. Perhaps there will still be trees and parks somewhere bored to go for a rest .

That the future without wars is . A future where children and people are at peace . That there is harmony between man and nature. To have drinking water cysts and enough home-grown food. That there is peace and satisfaction among people of all nations and religions. That there is work for everyone and that people can live some nice and peaceful lives. Let there be harmony and peace all over the world.

The school. Schools would be freer, there would be rest rooms for students, classes would be longer, and lunch breaks would also be longer. Teachers would use less textbook tasks and give students more project work and vital tasks that stimulate the brain and provide skills and knowledge for real life.

There are self-driving cars, artificial intelligence is more advanced, and the environment is clean In schools, more is learned about empathy and ethical norms, wages are adequate for life and every occupation is valued. There is coexistence of animals, people and nature, there is a plant-based diet and meat created without killing, mental health is not taboo, work on happiness and respect for everyone regardless of religion, nation and orientation...

The school will probably deteriorate, already now you have seen how both the working conditions for the educators have become tougher and there are more demands and tasks that are not really included in the teacher's degree. Nevertheless, I believe that the development of technology will also create opportunities for teachers to plan lessons faster and be relieved of the workload, e.g. with the help of AI. Unfortunately, I believe that the school environment for children and young people will deteriorate because the relationship between school and home is already strained. Although it is clear in the curricula that a relationship should exist with cooperation, it is unfortunately usually the homes that disappoint the child. There will probably be so many more children who become outgoing when you choose to put them in front of technical artifacts instead of working to strengthen the children's self-esteem and self-confidence that they CAN. After all, the school will form the future members of society and I think we will continue to disappoint society.

I'm in 2040. A lot has changed. A cure for cancer has been discovered, there is less dying, the whole world has given up smoking cigarettes, forests have plunged, people are environmentally conscious, solar heating is used everywhere, there is no pollution from cars after they have switched to electric vehicles, people are increasingly using bicycles, they recycle everything they come into contact with, there is no more waste, smoke ... everything started for the better. Artificial intelligence has taken its special place and helped the mass of what people could not do. The technology has progressed... the children have returned to the playgrounds and now live healthy. Food is naturally cultivated...there are no wars in the world...well-being...beauty and enjoyment of life.
