2050. 32 years from now. I am a grown-up person already. I am an adult. Time flies really fast, I’m planning what my neighborhood is going to look like in 2050. I’m expecting my neighborhood to be newfangled, new-fashioned, and modernist.
Over the next few decades, I expect to add around 250,000 new residents. But the more the population grows, the fewer cars will be on city streets, as the transforms itself into a network of dense, walkable neighborhoods that are virtually car-free. Even if the city population grows, the use of private cars should not rise. To do this, we need to encourage the use of carpools and public transport in the neighborhood. Carpool is very popular in cities like San Francisco, but not so good in Malaysia. We should do a concept in which the passenger cabin and car’s powertrain are separated so that way the driver keeps his or her own space, something that is more desirable in Seoul. The benefit that we get is we can't avoid some diseases such as asthma, heart disease, and emphysema.
Busy expressways becoming lined with new housing, sidewalk cafes, bike lanes, and trams and buses. Residents will run everyday errands on foot or by bike. The city hopes that homes, businesses, schools, and stores will all be close enough together that many people might not even have to commute anymore.
The major concern voiced by the residents in 2018 is the lack of greenery. So, there are improvements that I want in my neighborhood in 2050. I want to plant more green plants. This is because they supply us with oxygen. Without oxygen, we are going to die.
To prevent people from cutting down trees and to make them realize the importance of green plants for humans, we will punish them. The type of punishment we will give is that you must plant many trees back within two months and the tree must grow healthy, if not, you are going to pay the fund 5000 for each tree.
We also lack public parts. To overcome this problem, we are going to build parking lots with floors so all citizens can park there. We also faced a huge problem, which is how to avoid what happened - the function of the road itself is to attach our car, and there is a limit to the car on the road.
In conclusion, 2050 should be a better year compared to 2018. The earth gets older. The technology that we should be using is more advanced. The city’s vision was all based on detailed feedback from current residents.
