I think that the people of the city of the future will be very happy at last. I think that all of the large corporations and modern technology and the whole economy will eventually fail and we will all have to start over. Everyone will have to use their skills or learn skills that contribute to the community because everything will be based on trade instead of money.

There will be lots of gardens in the city because people will need to grow their own food. All the large stores and malls will be changed into market places where people can trade handmade goods and food or services. There will be a big emphasis placed on art because people will finally realize that beauty feeds the soul, just as food feeds the body. Murals will cover all of the ugly office buildings and all of the museums will be free and open all of the time.

Everyone will have free housing, education and healthcare. Healthcare will be more natural and preventative, incorporating healing ideas from all over the world, so less people will be sick. Skyscrapers will be turned into huge homes. People will have a much more communal way of living because we will finally realize that we all need each other to survive. People will walk places and ride bicycles and there will be some electric cars, but no pollution because we have to keep the cities clean to grow our food. There will be lots and lots of libraries that will be open all of the time. Finally, there will be free public bathrooms everywhere.
