Hi! My name is Rune. My name is Rune and I want to tell you about the amazing cities we're going to live in when I grow up. It's going to be so cool!

First of all, all buildings will be covered in plants! There will be gardens on the roofs and green walls everywhere. There will be trees and flowers in all the streets and we will be able to pick fruit from the trees when we walk home from school. It will be much better for the planet and it will always smell nice.

We don't just want electric cars, we want flying cars! They won't be noisy and pollute like the cars we have now. I imagine we'll be able to fly above traffic and get there faster. Maybe I can fly to my friend's house in a few minutes!

Everything will be really smart and talk to each other. When we walk down the street, the streetlights will turn on when we approach and the garbage cans will tell the garbage trucks when they're full. There will be robots to help us carry heavy objects and clean the streets.

There will be lots of sensors and cameras to keep us safe. We'll know when it's safe to cross the road and there will be alarm systems to tell us if something dangerous happens. Parents will always be able to find their children with their phones.

Schools will be so different! We won't just sit at tables and listen. We will do fun experiments, build robots and take virtual trips to the past and future. We will learn about the world in new ways that we never could before.

There will be super-fast trains that can take us from one end of the country to the other in no time. There will be bike paths everywhere and we will all have cool electric bikes and skateboards. I think we'll be able to rent them with our phones and leave them wherever we want.

All our houses and schools will use solar and wind energy. We will have big wind turbines and solar panels on every house. And we'll recycle almost all of our waste, so almost nothing will be thrown away.


There will be lots of parks and play areas with virtual games and adventures for us to play in. We will also have large forests and lakes in the middle of the city where we can go boating and fishing. We'll be able to watch movies on big outdoor screens and go to concerts in the parks.

There will be plenty of places to meet and socialize with our friends and family. We'll be able to play games, cook together and participate in fun activities. Everyone will feel part of a big community.

I can't wait to see what the cities of the future will look like! I think they will be amazing and I hope we can all live in cities like that one day. What about you? What do you dream of in the cities of the future?

Surely schools would look different - instead of ebooks, there would be, for example, one common food app - what you feel like - you click on spaghetti noodles and the app automatically selects that product for you, or the food with the lowest price in your locality, but also with the best customer ratings. High-speed trains, most electric cars. This is how I see the world in a decade or so.

The wars in Europe are over and Russia is a decent democracy that does not threaten its neighbours. Many small and safe nuclear power plants have been built, which, in addition to solar and wind power, provide stable and affordable energy. People have moved more out of the cities and into the countryside - for those who are interested, high-speed internet via satellite is available everywhere, and drones deliver food and supplies wherever they are needed. The rail network has also been tightened up in this country, and those who need to travel daily for work can do so by train. Personal vehicles have been left for leisure and recreation. Artificial intelligence has solved a lot of complex problems, there is less pure physical work, but it has not run out, simply by using assistive devices, smart tools and machines, work can be done faster - cleaning, building, farming, animal husbandry, woodworking and other such labour-intensive tasks. The working day and week are shorter as fertility increases. And things are used for longer, so there's less to throw away or renew all the time. Where necessary, the law requires things to last longer and be of better quality, so that the economy is not based on always adding and throwing away old things - wasting.

2040
2040 Pensioner, I live well because now they have reduced taxes on pensions. In a few years we will move to a so-called senior home, where you can live in your apartment, but be close to the retirement home where you can eat or participate in events. Right next to the home is the preschool. There is a lot of cooperation between the school and the senior/retirement home. It is good for the children to socialize with the elderly and the elderly also like to socialize with the children. Parents can rest easy, because nowadays there is an invention that registers how children are feeling. So if a child starts to feel bad because of abuse, for example, it will sound an alarm. Now children are taken seriously! The police are allowed to use the DNA register, not just on previous convictions but on everyone's DNA. So they solve many more crimes. If you are guilty of a crime if you are not a Swedish citizen, you are deported for life if the sentence is more than two years.

En bedre verden, end den vi lever i nu.
Life in 2040 has improved in several areas, looking at the individual as a human being, not based on their skin color, religion, prejudices about other cultures. Psychiatry has improved, also looking at the individual's need for hospitalization, help in their own home, support to finish school and support to find work according to ability and perseverance, as this will ensure that the mentally vulnerable can see themselves as part of the community, without being looked down upon. By 2040, no children are bullied in schools, regardless of the reason for the bullying. All children have an equal right to be themselves, regardless of their background. Children are the future hope for a better world, and that future starts now with parents. Help must be available for parents who are struggling with parenting so that they can be better role models for their children. Children must have better conditions to get help if they need it, without being stigmatized. There are very few homeless people, and solutions are being worked on for the homeless before they are "lost to society". There are places they can turn to when life changes and the need for help arises. There are very short waiting times for examinations and treatment of patients in somatic hospitals. There is time for each patient and there is no shortage of doctors, nurses and other staff in hospitals. There is a focus on helping small business owners to stay in business, as they are all needed to serve the diverse needs of the people. It is natural to be of a different sexual identity than male/female in a relationship and others are not looked down upon because they do not represent the largest group of "normality". Religions and the people who have one live peacefully among each other, without waging war or imposing their religion on others. There are no dictators in the world, and the focus is on helping the nations in need of self-help, all nations help their neighbor to a better future without hunger and war, to get an education and better opportunities to help themselves and their family. In short, a better world than the one we live in now.
