My city of the Future

 CITY 1

My city will be called Efficiencity. All in this city will be efficient. The houses will produce their own electricity with renewable energy. They will gather the rain water, so there won’t be unnecessary waste of water. The house will change the power of the light depending on the light outside. Of course, you can change it too by a screen control.

In Efficiencity there will be a quality healthcare system. It will continue being free. There will be a quality and efficient public transport. The buses will be electric, as all the cars in the city. Also, it will have free and secure Wi-Fi around the city.

You will be able to do a lot of activities here. It will have a free gym for everyone so doing exercise will not be a problem. Efficiencity will have a lot of cinemas to enjoy the movies. There will have many bars to take “tapas”, a typical Spanish food.

The city will have a lot of facilities like a museum with virtual animals, like a zoo, but in 3D. There will be another museum explaining the past of the city and the country to remember where the traditions came from. It will have a park to chill, sleep and charge your mobile phone too.

The jobs will be the same. There will be human teachers, doctors, shop assistants and street sweeper, but the robots will do the most of the cleaning.

That’s the vision I have about the cities in the future.

CITY 2

My city will be called Green Banana City, since in that city the banana predominates.From my point of view, cities of the future will be the best that we will have in the future, they will be the best innovation in the world. People will be able to live very calm, it will be perfect.

There will be many flying cars that will be very useful; electric transport, fast subways, teleportation cabins, but there will be no motorcycles, since there are many accidents. On the contrary, there will be fast bicycles with their bike lane and all their characteristics.

It will have a shopping center with many shops and recreational centers, a soccer stadium called Green Banana Stadium, a basketball stadium, a Zoo, a banana museum, a banana factory and many more places.

I think that robots will be very useful. They will be the best for the safety of children, the best biggest maid you can have, they will be the best workers, drivers, cashiers, etc.

I think people will be very calm, they will have a lot of free time to rest, the most common job will be to be a robot mechanic. Fun activities will be prepared for all ages. It will be a perfect city.

CITY 3

My city of the future will be like nowadays, but with some renewed things. Starting with houses, the buildings will be very high like skyscrapers. They will also be with modern colors, for example white, silver..with glass, but a very strong and resistant one. And finally very luxurious. For services I imagine transports like now, but they will be more efficient and intelligent. I think that they will be more ecological, that they won’t pollute so much. And finally I imagine that cars will float, but not fly. 

Related to jobs I think that in the future, things won’t change a lot, especially improvements of technology and new objects that help people to work. 

People of the future, I think that in their free time they will be able to visit the city with some glass balls like a hamster's game, but with chairs and a voice that will explain things about the city. Also people will go to centers of virtual reality games, like videogames of current affairs, but much more modern and fun than now, with 4D, among other things. 

About the facilities there will be things the same as now, like zoos, cinemas, but in the future, I imagine a place like the space, to have an opportunity to see how the space is. Also places with obstacles to fly with a backpack. And a center in a sea or ocean, to swim for a long time, with objects that help to breathe underwater, to feel as a mermaid, for example. 

This will be my future city.

CITY 4

I imagine the city like this. It will be a big city, and there will be many changes. As the buildings will be modernized and renovated. In each  building there will be a solar panel because I think that we will have stopped the pollution, so, there will be a law about this, there won't be any more non-renewable energy, only solar energy. It’s the same with transports, there will be used renewable energy, no more fuels. And one of the new things is that there will be many robots to help us in cleaning services, in houses, at work… Everyone will have a robot to help you, maybe with a human form, but if you like, it will be with an animal form. 

There will be a part of the city with an expensive nature, I mean, no buildings or facilities, nothing, only trees, shrubs, lakes, plants… And if you would like to go you can’t throw away trash. There will be a clean zone. Also there will be some funny places, for example there will be places to play video games, with cars to make races, going to the street to play with flying skates…

The facilities of the city will change, as I said before, there will be modern buildings, all in colour white, with slides for transport apart from the street and cars… And in the center of the city, there will be a big square with sources, benchess, arts…

CITY 5

The name that I have decided to give to my city of the Future is Futureland city. This will be a big and beautiful city.

In this city people will have many options to move around it. Most people will have personal transport. This transport will be automatic cars, electric motorcycle, and some people will have a private plane that will also be automatic. This last transport it will be only for people with lot of money. In addition, in the city you will have to use the public transport. This will be a train without driver, buses with cinema and taxis driven by robots.

The Futureland city will consist of smart houses with robots to serve you and wardrobes that dress you.

The houses will be perfect to live in because they will make you feel in paradise.

In this nice city, few people will work but the most people will work creating applications for robots, advertisement of digitals screens in the city or creating smart machines.

People in their free time will be able to do anything but most will go to the zoo where you will be able to talk to the animals. People also will travel and play in a technological world that Charlie Pace create. 

The city will have many facilities. Some of them will be a smart coffee shop, screens in the city where you will be able to see advertising, smart shopping centers and automatics stores. Obviously, the city will have stores where the people will work but many stores will be intelligent or automatic.

New York, New York!!!!

Have you ever been in New York? Well, here you can find information about the most important attractions of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. To do this project we were divided in groups and we searched information about these places. Each group has searched the characteristics of that place, the history, and the ways to get there. Besides, we have also searched the movies that were filmed in those places, such as: Avengers, The Wolf of Wall Street, King Kong, Friends…

Our final product was a magazine, that you’ll find in this blog, with all the information. We have also recorded a video explaining the magazine information.

Eiffel Tower

Hi bloggers!

What do you know about the Eiffel Tower? I can help you!

The Eiffel tower is an iron construction of 300 metres. It was created for the  Universal Exposition of Paris in 1889 and it is the most representative symbol of Paris. It was designed by Maurice Koechlin and Emile Nouguier and built by  Gustave Eiffel during 2 years with the help of 250 workers. There are millions of tourists a year and it is on of the most famous landmarks in the world.

At the beginning of the XX century, with the world wars, the authorities found its utility as an antenna to capture the messages that helped the allies. The initial weight of the tower was 7300 tones but with the museums, shops and stores, the weight raised to 10000 tones.  Eiffel first presented his project to the Barcelona City Hall. The responsible of City Hall said that it looked like a strange and expensive construction and they rejected the project. What a pity, don’t you think?
