In the future, in 2040, I envision cities where sustainability, technology and community combine to create a better quality of life for all. I would choose the theme of sustainable and inclusive urbanism, aiming to create cities where people live healthier, more comfortable lives in harmony with nature.

What would this future look like?

1. Green cities - city centres dominated by green spaces, parks, vertical gardens on the walls of buildings, and streets with more cycle lanes than cars. Self-growing trees and biophilic buildings help regulate temperature and air quality.

2. Intelligent public transport - self-driving electric buses and express buses with hyperloop trains make travel fast, comfortable and pollution-free. Private cars are a rarity - sharing platforms and autonomous electric cars have replaced traditional transport.

3. Energy independence - cities rely exclusively on renewable energy sources: solar panels on all buildings, wind turbines on the outskirts of the city and smart grids that store energy ensure that energy never runs out.

4. Technology for the community - artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things contribute to the governance of the city: street lighting is regulated according to people's movements, waste sorting is automated and the city's resources are allocated in the most efficient way.

5. Social inclusion - everyone can participate in city decision-making through virtual platforms where communities make suggestions and vote for change. Digital education, accessible to everyone, ensures that no one is left out of the opportunities offered by new technologies.

Why is this future better?

This future would allow people to live in a clean, healthy and friendly environment. People would not waste time in traffic jams, breathe clean air, have more space for socialising and personal development?

The main issues to be tackled are migration, peace, the environment. The EU needs to impose tough rules so that it does not pay for anyone to migrate to Europe. This could be done by 2040. Migration causes unrest in society, fear among local people, acts of terrorism. Peace - calming the war in Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas. These two conflicts make us most nervous. Politicians should do everything to bring about calm. And the environment? The whole planet must try to improve the situation, Europe will not save anything.

Gemeinsam zusammen

All the houses on our estate are energy self-sufficient. If the individual solar cells are not enough, we have our communal wind turbines, which always produce at high altitude. The profit is distributed to everyone. We only drive a few electric cars and prefer to use our bikes or local transport for most journeys. There are trees everywhere, it's green. Birds on every corner. I work for a company in Ireland. But with home office and fiber everywhere, it doesn't matter where in Europe I work. My son is studying in Denmark. But with the high-speed trains, he can be back here in an hour.

Budúcnosť bez obavy

I would like there to be peace on earth. That all unrest would cease. We are all responsible for what our planet will look like in the future and what relationships will be like, but the higher ups have much more influence over everything. I also hope that nature will be put back in order. We should eliminate the cutting down of trees because they are the main producers of oxygen. Various natural disasters are becoming more and more frequent. Heavy rains but also extreme droughts are plaguing the country in much greater numbers than in the past. This is linked to global warming. It is not only people who suffer during wars, but also nature. I think that nature becomes enormously polluted then. Dangerous substances leak out of explosions and enter the atmosphere, and the soil and, of course, the animals also suffer. I hope that people will realise what is happening to our planet as soon as possible and that we can do a lot together. People are constantly complaining about the political system. I don't know if this has any solution. But it will certainly help if there are road and fair people in politics. But such people are very hard to find. Everything goes easier with good state leadership. There are much nicer interpersonal relations between people in a given country, less quarrels and overall well-being. However, it should be remembered that small changes can be made by man for himself. Try to be better day by day and thus create a more beautiful future for yourself. I hope that the world will only go for the better.

Geluk in 2040

We are in 2040. The world has been transformed. Poverty and hunger are a thing of the past. Technology and humanity work together to create a society where everyone has access to healthy food, healthcare and education. We help each other without conditions, driven by empathy and shared responsibility. I walk through a city where people smile, where time is not money but a gift. I have found myself in this connected world, where my talents contribute to the well-being of others. I used to look for my place, now I know that my place is anywhere I can make a difference. Here, in 2040, happiness is not a privilege, but a right for everyone.
