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?

Warmer weer en toenemende welvaart.
By 2040, we have figured out that the enegy transition as well as the circular economy were naive pipe dreams. Consumption has continued to rise as has the inevitable use of natural resources. As a result, bad summers have basically ceased to exist and once in a while we can have a BBQ at Christmas and organize large outdoor events, increasing the sense of belonging because working life is increasingly taking place at home and AI plays a dominant role in the workplace. Thanks to increased prosperity, people go on vacation more often and drones have totally changed the way warfare is conducted.

My, how long has it been since 2025. The year when things finally started to get better for the earth. It was November 12, my birthday. Blowing out my 45 candles, I made a heartfelt wish from the depths of my soul: "I wish I could save the world!" And here I am, 15 years later. I am now 60 years old, but the life of every human being has improved so much that 60 years is now equivalent to 40 in the 20th century. I have succeeded in stopping wars, eradicating extremism of all kinds, slowing down climate change, and above all, eliminating all kinds of social inequality. There are no longer poor and rich. Each person is free to be what he or she wants to be. Those who want to work can do so and those who do not want to, cannot. No one is forced. Everyone has the same opportunities anyway. Everyone has a house, everyone has food, everyone has electricity, water and internet connection. Everyone has medical care and medicine, and for many diseases a cure has been found, thanks to scientists who have continued to lend their skills with passion. You travel completely free to go anywhere you want, without the need for red tape. You get on a vehicle and go where your heart desires. Since there are no longer any social and economic differences, there is no need for wars. There are no longer the powerful and the weak. We are all equal. This has also helped alleviate problems such as depression, anxiety, violence, alcoholism, etc.... Because no one has anything to worry about anymore. We help each other, expecting nothing in return with the assurance that we will have the same help if we need it. Oil and coal were set aside years ago. Only renewable energy is used. The air smells of flowers, woods, meadow and sea, depending on where you are. Everyone has the same rights. Everyone is free to be who they prefer.

Work revolution
In 2040, the world of work will be totally different from what it is today. Many jobs, especially painful ones, will have disappeared, replaced by machines and artificial intelligence. These technologies will have lowered production costs, and thus the costs of goods and services. The universal income will have been put in place, which means that every citizen will earn the same amount every month, whether he works or not. Those who wish will be able to continue working to enrich themselves or for pleasure and those who prefer to enjoy life will be able to live simply with the sum allocated to them.

Eco-dreams
We are in 2040, I look out the window and I see a clear sky, few cars and all electric. I see so much green, the air is clean and there are children playing football (football cannot be missing even in the future!). I go out, a drone brings me groceries in front of the house, a grocery that my refrigerator did asking me what I wanted. Watch the news, talk about the fact that the United States of Europe is celebrating 10º year of life
