My covid experience and restriction measures, staying within the limits of my neighborhood, made me find out more about my neighborhood and the people next door and next street. So, waking up in 2040, puts me in a city of the future, where neighborhoods are small social, smart, and green hubs that interconnect with each other and are knitted giving the full picture of the urban city where people talk, are active, take initiatives, share. Green roof tops and sky gardens, solar walls and windows as panels in building surfaces capturing the sun, green spaces to let us breath, green streets with places for fun or rest in the streetscape, buildings of low height so that light and air reach the ground, people strolling in the streets enjoying health and well-being, social transportation and transit, easy access to transit and services, family-essence units to live in and interact with others, recycling and reusing. In general, a city of the future for all (disabled, social minorities, different generations) with access to goods and services and a quality of everyday life.
