En levande stadskärna

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.

I sit in my garden and breathe clean, scented air.In my sight is a forest and in it a multitude of animals.No private cars,only public transport.Everything is socially owned:my house,the company where I work,health,school... Every household has a dog, cat or some other domestic animal that it takes care of.Human rights are at a very high level and all are respected.At work it is allowed to come with pets.By winter I heat myself on electric heaters, and electricity is not expensive because it arises only from renewable energy sources.My city is full of parks where trees are not cut down because it is rotten. but when it is dried or wilted. The branches of the trees are not cut and circumcised and therefore the movement of people is restricted.

Europe and the world are currently experiencing political tensions caused by several ill-equipped leaders. The Russian president's war in Ukraine makes people feel fearful, and the American president's speeches are just worthy of the title of comedian. These inadequate people rule a large part of humanity, causing chaos, fear and confusion. If the political situation changes, we can continue to live in peace and tranquility without fear of a possible war. Such a future, and I hope that we will live in peace, without fear, and that the government will be represented by intelligent leaders. Utopian society, in which there is no place for corruption, lies, anger, greed, should be an aspiration.

In 2030, there was a war in Europe involving the use of tactical nuclear weapons in a restricted area. As a result of the war, dozens of cities were destroyed, and nuclear pollution spread to the territories of warring parties and neutral countries under the influence of winds, causing a large number of civilian casualties. As the consequences became widely known throughout the world, the demand for a total ban on nuclear weapons arose. This led, especially in the nuclear powers, to the fall of governments and, in a few years, to the deactivation of nuclear weapons everywhere. In 2040, atomic power was harnessed exclusively for civilian use - mainly for the production of energy and heat. The main focus is on local small-scale power plants, whose patent rights are freely available to all countries. Fossil energy use has decreased significantly: or in very sparsely populated areas, it remains the most advantageous option overall. Even the smog that plagued China's big cities has practically disappeared. At the same time, green construction in urban areas has taken over the sector in almost every part of the world. The roofs of the apartment buildings are like gardens. The use of geothermal heat has become more common, while fields and forest squares covered with solar panels have been restored to their natural state. Wind farms are set up either at sea or further away from settlements, although higher installation and energy transmission costs cause critical debate.

Here we are in 2040 I am now 83 years young and glad to be here the changes I have seen since times gone by are unleavable and let me explain some of them to you now. The government we now have work for the people and not themselves the wages now meet the cost of living needs, the fuel of petrol and diesel are now like gold dust to buy but the cars that run on these fuels now are nearly extinct and cost more than our EVs to buy now. Cleaner environment for us all to live in. The housing market is better now more houses are being built and at affordable costs not much poverty about at these times and we should thank god for that. Now some of the downfalls of this era are computers they control everything now we shop online now no more going to the supermarket the times of our local pubs are gone we are controlled by robots and AI this for me is hard to take I miss some of the old times open fires snow fall good summers and lots more are our times changing for better our worse YOU TELL ME.
