La città che non sarà

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I imagine my city, Florence, what it will never be again.
Avenues and streets with trees that can cool the temperatures from the summer heat, and at the same time make us breathe good air.
I imagine silence on the streets since you will travel mainly on cars with non-endothermic engine.
A more sustainable and educated tourism than the current one.
Easy and affordable travel for all users, including workers who will avoid using the car to get to work.
I imagine a funzining and efficient healthcare without the long queues expected for important investigations / interventions, but above all I imagine a category of doctors educated and kind, as well as prepared and capable, which is not so evident today.
In short, in the light of the choices of the last municipal / regional administrations, I imagine a Florence that can never be the decrypted one.

Ateities Vilnius
2040, 10 September. Europe has become the most advanced climate neutrality region in the world. Cities have completely abandoned fossil fuels, and each building has its own energy production system based on solar, wind and kinetic energy. Evelina, now an experienced scientist, works in a global climate innovation lab that develops AI-powered air purification mechanisms. The streets are green, overflowing with vertical gardens, and the vehicles - without any pollution. Waste of water and food has become a thing of the past, as bioengineering has developed the most effective processing methods. Society has also changed - the working week has been reduced to four days, as robotisation and AI have allowed people more time for creativity and personal development. The education system has introduced holistic teaching, where everyone can learn at their own pace, and virtual universities connect people from all over the world. Evelina looks at the centre of Vilnius, where people communicate in the squares, musicians play, and technology serves not as a separation, but as a tool of unity. "This is what the future should have been like," she thinks, as she watches the sun set over the green horizons of the city.

In 2040, society could have reached common sense. With AI, excessive government spending has been cut and bureaucracy reduced and processes accelerated. Governments are more transparent and corruption is reduced. Less power for public authorities and more say for citizens. No more excessive taxes and restrictions on people's rights. There are no climate taxes or quotas to fill. Because the technology is sufficiently advanced, the wars are over. People have cooperation as a goal, not to be better and stronger than others. The emphasis is on the family model, which is advocated and supported by the state. Children's education is more about children's skills and interests, not about general level and that everything is the same as in the Soviet era. In the catering sector, the aim is to provide healthy food, not to chase profits. All decisions are made from the point of view of whether or not it makes a person's life healthier and more fulfilling. The focus is not on things, but on experiences, relationships and health. Not imposing the mixing of peoples on countries and letting countries and peoples be what they are and preserve their culture. The first humans have already been to Mars and humanity is interested in exploring and discovering space.

People are living in smaller worlds again. Are self-sufficient and less dependent big corporations and world powers. People are concerned with their own world and are content and happy here. Are not concerned with others. The world runs entirely on renewable energy sources. The threat of war and discontent is gone.
