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

Evoluție
People's lives should be changed for the better. They must have access to education, preventive analysis and food. Money, whether physical or online, should be accessible in order to benefit from the aforementioned services and from education. In this way, people will evolve and crime will be eliminated. Life must be lived with joy, good deeds and abundance. Prosperity is not a luxury, it is everyone's right.
България на бъдещето: модерна, удобна и екологична
In the future, I see Bulgaria as a modern and well-organized country with developed infrastructure that meets people's needs. Significant improvements have been made in recent years that have increased the quality of life.
The old housing stock has been completely renovated with a focus on energy efficiency. Thanks to this, heating costs have decreased and buildings have become more comfortable and sustainable. People no longer use wood for heating, which has led to a significant improvement in air quality in cities.
The urban environment has also changed – new sidewalks have been built to provide comfort and safety for pedestrians. Parking is no longer a problem, because enough parking spaces and modern parking lots have been created. An extensive network of charging stations for electric vehicles has also been built, encouraging a shift towards environmentally friendly transport.
Historical buildings and cultural heritage have been restored and maintained with care, making cities more beautiful and attractive to both residents and tourists.
Healthcare reform has brought a huge change – the health system has become centralised, organised and easy to understand for everyone. Health insurance now covers all necessary medical services, which guarantees access to quality treatment for all citizens.
Transport accessibility has also been significantly improved. Now in every region of Bulgaria there are convenient transport links that allow fast and easy transportation. New, modern and comfortable trains were introduced, connecting all large and small settlements. The ticketing system was centralised, making it easier to plan trips. Each passenger has their own guaranteed seat, which eliminates the chaos and inconvenience of travel.
This future is quite possible and I believe that with joint efforts and the right decisions, Bulgaria will become a better place to live.
Едно невероятно бъдеще
I want the future to be bright and successful!
I imagine living in a peaceful world without wars, without unrest, without deadly diseases.
I imagine how my child has grown up and has become a wonderful and worthy person.A man ready to create his own family.I imagine how we spend time around the family table during the holidays,moments full of laughter and good emotions.
I see how technology has developed and every home is equipped with a computer (home assistant). With the help of this assistant household tasks become more organized and people do not forget to perform them.
Cars on the roads are all electric and there are almost no petrol or diesel cars anymore.
The IT sector has developed to such an extent that a large percentage of working people are engaged there.
I see how people live a better life, a life full of love and happiness.
I hope this future I've described comes true.
Simplificarea
We travel to the future with fast steps, we are in the year 2040. We can teleport anywhere we want, at no transport cost. Life is a little easier now, no one is late anywhere, and everyone can be present anywhere. The food is delicious and very healthy, without chemicals. The sun shines brighter in summer, but many trees have been planted to keep the shade.
По- хубавия свят в който живеем
In 2040, I imagine that peace and prosperity reign on Earth.There are no wars anywhere, nature is preserved, people love and help each other.There are not many rich and very poor.We are spiritually at a higher level.People do not envy each other, do not kill and hurt each other, there is no malice.Phones are not used.Everyone communicates via telepathy.Travel freely over long distances with the power of thought.We see and talk with other civilizations.Europe is an example for the whole world with a prosperous population and culture. There is only love, lightness and happiness.I want such a world and I would like it to exist. To have every home and no sufferers.
Napokon zeleni planet.
Godina je 2040. i napokon je Zemlja zelena i čista od zagađivača. Gradovi su veliki ali prepuni parkova, a oko gradova su ogromne šumske površine, jezera i bezbrojni potočići i rijeke.
Po gradu i dalje ima mnogo automobila, ali ne pogone se više na naftu ili benzin, nego isključivo na električni pogon koji je usavršen i potpuno neovisan o punjenju energijom.
Ljudi i djeca su sretni, veseli i razigrani. Granice i podjele više ne postoje - nego samo jedna granica Zemlja.
Utópia ľudskej rasy
It's the year 2040 and I'm living a peaceful, carefree life with the security my state has taken care of. On a daily basis, I use robotic intelligence that makes my life easier, from ordinary household chores to writing a book that I've been dealing with for years. I have time for my hobbies, which I can realize thanks to a better good situation. People are moving on electric flying cars and scooters. Everywhere is full of greenery and full sips I suck clean healthy air into my lungs. People treat each other nicely, there is no ego, and everyone thinks about the good of the other. All people have enough food and water, and there is no need to be envious of anything. Political solutions are concluded on the basis of the consensus of society, and there is no room for conflict, because everyone has as a primary goal the good and happiness of others. It does not pay with money, people have enough time for everything, and education is built on the pillars of constant improvement of their knowledge. There are no grades in schools, and children go there because they are interested in learning new things. On the streets it is safe, no one needs to steal, because everything is enough and materially loses its meaning. Everyone is provided with high-quality health care, for which no one has to pay.
Перфектен свят
In 2040, I would like to see a world where climate change is significantly delayed and sustainable development is a top priority for societies around the world. In this better future, we have achieved global cooperation and innovation that reduces carbon emissions, restores natural ecosystems and ensures equitable access to resources for all.
Cities are full of green spaces and use smart technologies to manage energy and water. Renewable energy sources – sun, wind and geothermal – dominate globally. Transport networks are sustainable, with autonomous electric vehicles and efficient public transport systems that reduce the need for private cars.
Life is healthier and more connected to nature. Humans use technologies to purify air, soil and water, and innovations in biotechnology enable sustainable agriculture without harmful chemicals. Local communities play an active role in preserving ecosystems, and sustainable resource consumption is a fundamental principle in the global economy.
