The city of the future (De stad van de toekomst)

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.

It's hard to predict what the future might be like in today's world, but I hope that thanks to science, technology, business and charismatic and intelligent heads of state, European and American states will prosper, recovering from the 2022-2027 political strife, military conflicts, armaments and tensions over the threat of attack. I believe that countries will live in the "golden age" of scientific progress and economics.

Nameti države
Bolja budućnost za mene nisi financijsku neovisnost. Privatni posao, odgovaram za svoje uspjehe i greške, ne podliježem autoritetu, brinem za svoju obitelj i opskrbljujem ju sa svim potrebnim stvarima. Kako bi to sve bilo izvedivo treba premostiti sve poreze,prireze i ostale namete koje država stavlja na teret malim poduzetnicima,a to je isključivo na njima da smanje. Njihovi nameti su svakim danom sve nedostižniji i sve veći.

Zmiany w przyszłości.
I can't imagine what will happen in a dozen or so years and whether I will live to see them at all. I am sure that artificial intelligence will dominate, I am afraid that people will be left without a job. The next thing is cars - there are more and more of them, there is no place to park, there are traffic jams, you can't get there on time. I probably imagine roads above or around the blocks - somewhere I saw a similar photo, where something similar already works.

Sollievo, tranquillità, vita.
In 2040 I will be 78 years old, I think I will appreciate a quiet reality.I would like the city to be full of green areas, with many trees, no cars, but many quiet, small but safe means of transport. I do not have many other desires, I would like my body to age without pain as well as my mind.
