En levande stadskärna

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

By 2040, the standby where I live could have evolved and grown. In the city of my dreams I have the opportunity to stay in the center where the beach has grown. The city centre has become more vibrant as the city has become denser in the centre. Many empty spaces have been built with more and larger homes where even families with children can get a place in the center. The number of central playgrounds has increased. More small spaces for meetings have been created. As more people have now chosen to live in the city centre, the range of shops has increased. The opening hours of the city's existing cafes have increased and more cafes, bars and smaller restaurants have arisen as a spontaneous reaction to the city's increased population who want to meet in social rooms outside their residence where opportunities are given to socialize with your loved ones while at the same time being given an opportunity to meet new acquaintances. Imagine taking your knitting and going out to buy a cup of coffee and sit down and suddenly spontaneously get company from others with the same or similar interests. Imagine that a lukewarm summer evening after work take his book and go out and sit in some backyard drinking wine and end the evening with a deep discussion of the events in the book together with someone else a little lonely himself who also read the same book.

El futuro es poder vivir el pasado
My future is in freedom. We will be able to enjoy again a campfire under the stars, next to a river with crystal clear water, without artificial clouds in the sky and under a tent where besides the sound of water we will be able to listen to the richness of the forest with its variety of sounds, a woodpecker, a blackbird, the wind sliding through the leaves... And when we wake up and go outside the day will be beautiful, with a warm early morning sun and the vultures will fly over our heads and all that I will see from the hand of my granddaughter. The world will return to the original sanity where what was important was what was important.

Hoffnung: der Grund sich nicht am Anfang des Jahres 2025 den Suizid zu wählen.
For my future in 2040, I would only wish that we as a global community have still managed to curb global warming and slow down climate change. I hope that we have still managed to avert a third world war and that the USA has not slipped into fascism. I wish for more social and gender justice and tolerance and humanism in general.

Ideal
The financial issues tackling Europe are no longer. The left governments are in charge. Owning a home and decent transport systems throughout Europe and all are easily accessible. Intereuropean flights are cheap, most of Europe runs on solar and wind power energy. High educated work force and little unemployment.

Aufschwung
In 2040, the world has become a true democracy. Politicians no longer operate in elitist bubbles, but are able to grasp and implement the true needs of the population. Decisions are based on transparency and direct participation - every vote counts, regardless of social status. Security has noticeably increased: crime is effectively combated through preventive measures such as education, social integration and intelligent surveillance systems, without sacrificing privacy. Prosperity is no longer a privilege of the few; through sustainable economic activity, fair tax systems and global trade networks, broad sections of the population enjoy access to education, health and modern technologies. A balanced energy and circular economy have increased the quality of life, while social inequalities have been reduced. 2040 stands for a society that not only promises democracy, security and prosperity, but lives it - a model that unites and advances humanity.
