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.

Spokoj i radość do końca życia
I hope that in 2040 I will still live, together with my family, in health, that then it will be easier, quieter, calmer.I would like to have peace in the world, so that the world will be more natural, as truly as it once was, and not burdened with some sick laws and absurdities.I would like there to be as few sick people as possible, so that all the diseases of the world will be cures , access to a doctor will be a pleasure and all the necessary tests a man would have done immediately and free of charge.I would like people to stop robbing the state, because then there would be a chance to somehow improve this world.Let all absurd laws that supposedly care about the environment disappear.Let the country be ruled by wise and good people.

Inflation
I would want that the goods in stores would be cheaper and that the inflation stops or salaries espacialy in slovenia should get bigger because the goods are as expensive as in northern countries where salaries are a lot bigger and better. And rent should be cheaper because in Ljubljana it exedes the minimal pay for a one room apartment and buying a apratment is extreme too, one room sells for 80000€. And the medicine should be faster too, the queues are at least one year long for a urgent operation.

Geluk zit in een grote hoek
When I walk down my greened street, I find that after the turbulent years in which part of the former EU has separated, it has finally brought peace and clarity. The stricter legislation in force in the slimmed-down EEC is bearing fruit in many areas. Safety and trust are slowly returning. Utopias about integration have been thrown overboard and Western core values seem to be returning. External borders are tightly guarded and the EEC has an equal policy of quality of life rather than quantity. Fortunately, we have resisted the rise of billionaires and oligarchs in the 1930s and find ourselves in a prosperous, pragmatic and happy continent where we have gone through the eye of the needle.

Die KI der Zukunft zu Hause
Life is AI-controlled. No area in which it does not operate or even dominate in whole or in part. Whether in road traffic, and especially in public transport, health care and medicine, in education from the KiTa to schools to universities, in all branches of the economy and especially in our everyday life at home. The AI is the first to welcome us when we open the door at home. By means of voice recognition, she immediately knows which family member has just entered the apartment, recognizes the mood of this person by various parameters such as breathing, blood pressure, body temperature, etc., plays the appropriate music at ideal volume , adjusts the lighting and the room temperature appropriately and prepares a corresponding drink. She asks what she can do to make the end of the day / further daily routine and to improve the mood. She makes suggestions and presents ideas-based on the habits and preferences of the human being-about whom she knows everything that one can somehow find out. The AI is almost the best roommate you could wish for, isn't it …?!
