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.

Global warming under control Several actions taken - by local communities, governments globally, schools and universities, corporations and myself and my colleagues - have determined the change in the global warming landscape for the better. The actions are implemented and mapped and are maintained in periodic execution according to plan. Floods, storms, landslides, excess rain and drought minimized monitored and minimized.

I care about our quality of life. I believe that we have drifted away from our human nature and consequently from nature/environment, which - let us not forget - we are its species. This of course has an impact on many things and first of all on health. I would like to see human-centred policies implemented in all aspects of everyday citizenship. To put people, their mental health, their personal progress and flourishing first. To pay attention to how satisfied (and why not, happy) people feel about their lives. What really matters to them?
