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.

in 2040 we have an underground railway that will solve the problem of crowds in the city of Zagreb. we will also have underground garages and more libraries and educational programs so that our students have a comfortable learning environment. we will fight corruption and everyone will have the same opportunity to progress. we will move towards more respect for art as such. we will improve public health institutions so that everyone has access to medicine and medicine, not that we have to turn to private clinics that cannot all afford.

Tempo per la famiglia
It's 2040. Today parents work only half a day, when their children are at school, and spend the rest of the day with them. They have finally acquired the right to form a family and to live it in balance with their work. Their children will enjoy the time that their parents were not allowed because of a wrong development pattern that has finally been erased.

Life is comfortable - children have reached upper secondary school age and live at home only on weekends. Quietly independent. It is good to look at the children's independence and remember the kma youth rush. Life has moved away from social media. Real communication is once again important because online life tends to remain in the background. Direct communication is valued and technology plays a routine role in our lives, doing data analytics and most of the ‘excel-based work’ for us. The creative part is our end to do

I want to think in the future not only about vision, but as much as possible to fulfil it and how it will affect people of all layers, not only the rich. Thinking of the CO2 and energy sectors does not steer blindly in the same direction, but leaves people a choice. There are internal combustion engine cars available that are not oppressed and are not imposed and lobbied by electric cars, as the salvation of the planet. In the production of electricity, modern electric power reactors are being built that are capable of producing the necessary electricity efficiently.
