A day in Europe in 2050

The sun rises over the floating city of NeoAtlantis, an ecological engineering masterpiece designed after the rising waters of the 2030s. The streets, once crowded with cars, are now vegetated walks where only bicycles and autonomous solar capsules circulate. This morning, I take a hydrogen-suspended tram to my oceanic urban planning workshop. Our project: a new modular coastal city, able to adapt to climate change.

Since the energy revolution of 2035, Europe has become the world leader in renewable energy. The Green Deal of 2040 enabled the regeneration of forests, the depollution of oceans and the development of vertical urban farms. Thanks to technological advances, everyone works less, leaving more time for education, art and solidarity.

At the end of the day, I meet my friends in a café where vegetable protein dishes are printed in 3D. We are discussing new citizen projects to further improve our daily lives. The future we have built together is finally sustainable and fair.

Living Good Lives

In 2040, I would like to see housing become a human right and to see every human being housed safely and securely. This housing would be guaranteed despite income or employment status. Houses would become affordable through 3-D printing materials and through government social housing schemes, housing lotteries and affordable mortgage schemes. Houses could be owned or rented but everyone is housed. Derelict houses will be renovated and vacant/hoarded properties will not be permitted by landlord. Air BnB will not be allowed post full apartments or houses (only rooms in-house like normal BnBs). This economic and social security would boost local and cultural economies. The cities will belong to the people who live, work, and care there not to multinational corporations or to tourists (though tourists are of course welcome).

nous vivons l'ancien, maintenant.

I can easily imagine a very different kind of medicine, free at last to bring together all the potential of treatments and therapists. Where body, mind, emotions and the subtle planes will be treated together. The rational will join the holistic. People will take charge of themselves and change or adapt their behavior. The feminine and the masculine will finally be approached differently. Ancestral and archaic patterns will be gently and self-evidently eroded. Our conditioned programs will be able to move, and it will no longer be possible to stay where we are. This is the world that's on the move. It's not yet perceptible, but it's there.

Ohne Sorge leben!

I wish that all pensioners could live without money worries in old age. I can see for myself that as a severely disabled pensioner I am forced to earn extra money. I can barely make ends meet with my pension. I know others who collect bottles and also work. It would be good if the state did more to address this social injustice. Pensioners who have their own house and land and have worked all their lives to secure their old age are currently being ripped off with high property taxes. This should no longer happen. It is the duty of our government and politicians to think of their own fellow citizens first.

Das Comeback der Demokratie

It would be a future in which would-be dictators are put to rest once and for all, in which people can be who they are, at least as long as they do not harm others. A world in which people listen to each other again instead of condemning each other for the smallest offenses. A world in which people focus on the important things, take a pragmatic view of the future, don't give populism a chance and let realism take over.
