Maybe ... or maybe not, but what we do know is that in the future, cities are going to have more and more people living in them. More than half of the world’s people already live in cities, and by 2050, cities will become home to about 6.5 billion people. That’s a lot of people and very little space! More people means that we’re going to have more pollution, traffic and noise. It also means that we’ll need more homes, schools, hospitals and jobs. We’ll need more resources, like water and trees, and more ways to grow food too. Oh, and more parks to play in!
Many cities are already planning for the future. For example, Bristol is a cycling city in England. You can ride bikes on the cycle road. In Singapore, people are looking “up” to grow food! To save space, they grow vegetables in lots of layers (层) in special tall buildings, called “vertical farms”. In Amsterdam in North Europe, there are houses built on water instead of on land!
