In particular, I see the urban area as a major contributor to sustainability and health, given the profound urbanisation. We are facing a wide range of issues such as mobility and food. So how we organise our urban areas has a bigger impact. I hope that the city of the future is a place where there is no car (at least as we know it now), but where smaller city centres are connected. The 15 minutes city in its optimal form: reach everything you need in at least 15 minutes. But also many green, small urban parks, places to grow food yourself/together. By shaping the city of the future, people feel connected. With each other and their surroundings. Our environment is shaped in such a way that people experience ownership, creating other cost and benefit structures as well. It also aims to make the population healthier. Healthy outdoor air (including in cities due to low or zero emissions), many walking and cycling, and social cohesion. In my ideal city, the community is strong and people are part of strong networks.

I don't think there's such a long time until 2040, ,, that a lot has changed. I would like to see all illnesses cured. It would also be nice if there wasn't much work to do. I hope the robots work for us. And so everyone can do pleasant things, for example, travel. It would also be good if there were no poverty, everyone would have decent housing and a nice life. I hope no one abuses animals because it doesn't belong. I'm already retired , but I would like to travel a lot and see the beauty of the place.

It's the year 2040, planet Earth has progressed by leaps and bounds, and it's unrecognizable what it looked like in 2025. Med Bed beds replaced fully obsolete and ineffective big farms. Free energy and all the other hidden inventions hidden from people for decades are now visible everywhere. People no longer have to go to work to survive, and they don't pay senseless taxes to the state. They enjoy freedom, they do things that fill them with happiness. Organic food in shops and stores is of the highest quality and costs packer. Big banks and financial birocratic institutions are a thing of the past.Water cars, levitating objects and a lot of new things are nothing unusual. There is peace, happiness and love everywhere.

After many wars, the world finally entered an era of peace and prosperity. People have turned to the development of technologies and sustainable life and to helping the only others. Rivers and seas have cleared up somewhat after the human race came up with a device that destroys plastic without damaging it. The forests are green again. Space technology has advanced a lot and we have successfully colonized our moon.

In the year 2040, the waves of world problems have smoothed somewhat, the rulers have finally become a little more reasonable and have realized that life can be much more pleasant without quarrels and without wars. Many developments are being driven forward together and thus quickly lead to success. The hunger in the world, which among other things caused wars and flight movements, was largely defeated after a program to feed the world's population was initiated by the dominant major powers and has now ignited effect. Many regions could thus be made arable and bring first yields, necessary ediments which altogether needed , but occur only in individual areas were distributed according to a fair key worldwide and thus come back to everyone's benefit. At last, most have become clear only together and in mutual consideration we move forward and can ensure survival on our planet.
