Europe where refugees do not differ based on their skin color

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I hope that in 2040 people will be equal all over the world. I hope to see European countries accept the refugees not based on their skin color or some other stupid characteristic as we are all humans, we are all created equal and we all strive for same things, which are crucial in order to survive. I feel sad when I see my own government state something as absurd as “those refugees from Ukraine are not the same as the ones from Syria”. Here we can see some elements of hatred against people with darker skin, here we can see that people that are culturally more similar to us are more welcomed than those that are different, when speaking of their religion, culture, language etc. It makes me quite worried when I see something as cruel happening still in 21st century. Did we learn something from the past? I am concerned we have not. Do we want to see the history to repeat? I am sure we do not. I am positive that we have come a long way since the last war and segregation based on the color of the skin, but if we do not take actions and fight fore equality we might return on the old paths. It is our responsibility to speak aloud when such crimes happen. No country should not close its doors for people that are coming for better life, running away from the war zones. All that because if we do not accept someone striving for peace that actually makes us supporters of war, as we all know that participating in war with weapons, killing people is never the right way. We are all the same race, why do not we help each other and grow together instead?

By 2040, I would like the way we deal with food and public space to have fundamentally changed. An ideal image I have in mind, based on the projects I am working on, such as Fruitstraat Gent, is that cities have been completely transformed into green, edible landscapes. In this future, cities are not only functional living spaces, but also productive ecosystems where fruit trees, vegetables and herbs grow lushly in streets, squares and parks. Everyone has access to healthy and local food thanks to the myriad of commons such as communal gardens and fruit trees, where residents have free access to pick. The idea of a short and sustainable food chain is fully embedded in urban life: people harvest their own food or buy it directly from neighborhood cooperatives, without the intervention of polluting, long distribution chains. In addition, there is a broad awareness of the importance of community and participation. Speculative design projects are no longer just a niche, but have been given a central role in shaping urban development. Residents are actively involved in designing the future of their city, with participation and engagement at the heart of policy decisions. Each district has its own projects and experiments that constantly contribute to the improvement of the living environment, both socially, economically and ecologically. This vision of the future would result in a healthier, cohesive and more resilient society in which people not only have a connection with each other, but also with nature and the food they consume.

My dream of future
Maybe personally I will be very happy to enjoy the high-tech convenience just like I can order the food by done delivery .That’s insane and also many diseases can be handled simultaneously.Tje climate might be not habitable for us,due to our over development.

An idealistic European future
Europe will have learnt from its past mistakes in terms of security and defence and economy. It will no longer be seen as a side partner with no real power when it comes to wars at its borders. It will be equipped and able to deter foreign threats, both military and online. While having strong foreign partnerships, it will no longer rely on third countries to provide it with rare materials, energy or manufacture critical products. It will have understood that companies are critical to its social welfare and adapted its regulations to European companies' needs. Energy and life costs will no longer be an issue for Europeans as there will have been investments in new nuclear technologies, incentives given to companies to produce in Europe in a simplified regulatory framework, taxation, social and labour costs will be harmonised and education will be again a strong pillar of the society.
