City 2050: what will your city look like in 2050.

By 2050 there will the same number of Americans living in cities as there are in the entire nation today. How will our future infrastructure, architecture, and more adapt in 30 year's time?

Peering into the future is a favorite exercise for planners and designers. From the Chicago 1893 Columbian Exhibition to New York City’s two Worlds Fairs (1939 and 1965) and beyond, the future was optimistic and filled with cool technology and architecture. But not all views of the future were so hopeful. George Orwell’s dystopian novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four” (published in 1949) looked 35 years forward and painted a not-so-rosy vision of the future.

In 2017, 1984 (the year) is a distant memory. But what do we think the future will look like 30 years or so from now? And what will  City: 2050  be like?

Population: 2050

City: 2050 will be more dense, larger and older.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau , United Nations, Pew Research and other sources, the U.S. will grow to 438 million people by 2050—up 35% from our 2017 population of 326 million. (Global population grows to 9.7 billion by 2050.) And upwards of 75% of future Americans will live in cities and urbanized areas (up from 50% in 2008). In other words, by 2050 there will the same number of Americans living in cities as there are in the entire nation today!

Lifespans and the median population age are projected to increase. The UN predicts the U.S. median age will be 41 years old by 2050, up from today’s 37. That might not seem like a lot, but the rise in median age is directly attributable to second-fastest growing segment of the population—those 65 and older. And those future seniors are today’s Millennials and Generation Z-ers.

Mobility: 2050

City: 2050 will be more multi-modal and less reliant on cars:

• Walking:  Denser cities make walking a viable mode for many people once more. City: 2050 may actually resemble walkable neighborhoods common in the early to mid-Twentieth Century. And that includes today’s suburbs, which are exhibiting renewed interest in traditional urban principles of mixed-use, walkability and density. By 2050, many of those suburbs will be 100 years old (or older) and will have evolved into stand-alone, mixed-use , urbanizing areas and employment centers;
• Automobiles:  Should current trends continue, 2050 car ownership should decrease in favor of car sharing, autonomous vehicles and other disruptive technologies. And our lives will not rely solely on cars for mobility;
• Planes, Trains, and Loops:  Airports will still be part of our long-distance travel plans, but there will be other options. High-speed rail projects are accelerating (pun intended) across the U.S. and other forms (the Hyperloop?) have the potential to offer travelers unique and competitive options. Dense population centers make these modes more viable; and,
• Flying Vehicles:  City: 2050 will witness the beginnings of the autonomous flying car. This is not science fiction, research is already underway in numerous countries for this next leap in mobility. The U.S. Department of Transportation is currently working on the technical guidelines for this new technology. And in less than 3 years, “Uber Elevate” should be operational in both Dubai and Dallas. Flying cars may not be available to everyone by 2050, but they could be one of many future transportation choices.

Architecture: 2050

It is not unreasonable for a building to have a lifespan of 30 years or more. So today’s new buildings currently under construction will be important components of our built environment in City: 2050. Architectural design will undoubtedly change over the next 33 years, so expect our cities to be a mix of old and new, just as they are today. What other changes can we expect?

• More Mixed Use:  Expect fewer monolithic (single-use) buildings. Today’s office buildings may transition into vertical “neighborhoods” with 3 or more uses in each building. Today’s 25-story office towers could transition into a combination of office, residential, retail and even educational spaces. It’s already happening in the world’s most populous cities;
• New Office and Retail:  Given the basic human need for interaction and social connections, offices may still exist, but perhaps in a mixture of traditional office, co-working spaces, telepresence, hoteling or any combination thereof (and more). And retail? Well, it is no secret that the retail sector is currently undergoing a massive transformation. How it reinvents itself is still up for debate, but there should be a continuing need for retail spaces that bring people together. Maybe even a return to more specialization and the local store (bakery, wine shop, etc.), combined with drone delivery services; and,
• Parking Garages:  Even the humble parking garage is poised for change. Today, Gensler is advising clients to future-proof new garages by building flat floorplates with taller floor-to-floor heights—at least 11 feet for future residential, and ideally 15 feet to accommodate just about anything from residential to office and beyond. As car ownership and use decreases, and if local zoning regulations follow suit, demand for on-site parking will experience a parallel decrease. Today’s garage is the bones of City: 2050’s mixed-use building.

Infrastructure: 2050

Supporting 438 million Americans will require massive reinvestments in our current infrastructure—water, sewer, storm drainage, electrical power, telecommunications, etc. And if we rely on today’s delivery systems, our carbon footprint will actually increase, even with denser development patterns. American infrastructure must evolve to be more efficient, flexible, and decentralized.

Take electric power. Today, thousands of homes already generate their own power through solar, wind or geothermal, and are selling unused kilowatt-hours back to the grid. This is attractive to homeowners and it helps decentralize our aging power grid, which experts agree is vulnerable to cyber-attack. Decentralizing even a small portion of the grid could have significant cost-savings and environmental benefits over construction of new power plants. And the ongoing improvements in solar cell efficiency make this more attractive every day, especially given our desire for more digital devices that require recharging. But expect resistance (again, pun intended) from power companies to a future decentralized grid.

Improvements in rainwater harvesting and small sanitary sewer “batch plants” can have similar positive impacts on drainage and sewer systems. At the same time, new investments in our legacy infrastructure will still be required in order to provide reliable water, sanitary sewer and storm drainage services.

Conclusion: 2050

At the end of the day, there is no singular vision of what cities will look like in the future. Take a look around—cities in 2017 are unique and different. Expect that same level of diversity and local vernacular, combined with an overlay of new technology and opportunity.

Humanity Might Have Been Born to Live in Cities

Paleo-style sensibilities aside, earth’s future hinges on the success of our urban spaces.

by Greg Woolf | April 26, 2021

Sometimes it feels like we made a wrong turn a long way back.

Perhaps it was the shift to fossil fuels and scientific medicine that led us to this place, a population of nearly 8 billion crowded onto a warming planet, a terrestrial species melting the ice caps so there is less and less land to inhabit or to grow food.

Or maybe it happened further back, with our jump down the food chain to become growers and eaters of grass (and maize, and rice, and sorghum). Agriculture started the slow demographic explosion of the last 10 millennia, pressing on biodiversity, and bringing on the sixth extinction. The anthropologist and political scientist James C. Scott makes a strong case in his book Against the Grain that the shift to agriculture also ushered in slavery, oppressive states, and social inequality.

But it would be a mistake to see life before agriculture as the answer to our problems. Proponents of the “Paleo diet” promise personal wellbeing if we only return to pre-agricultural gastronomy. They usually stop short of suggesting we go big on protein by scavenging on the kills of big cats and hyenas, an important food source in some periods of prehistory.

So how does city life fit into all this? Is urban life another wrong turn? Should we return to the countryside—ideally, a bit of it with decent broadband and a farmers market within cycling distance? Not quite.

The spread of cities over the last 6,000 years is one of the epic themes of human history. It is well documented, since so many societies that built cities also developed writing systems. It is a global phenomenon—not because cities originated in one place and spread out over the planet, but because people invented cities, out of nothing, so many times. Ancient humans congregated and built in the valleys of Mexico, Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus and north China, and also in the Sahel region south of the Sahara, in the Amazon Basin, in what are now the southeastern states of the U.S., in the Andes, in the forest of southeast Asia. People probably built cities in yet-unknown other places, too, where LiDAR and satellite imaging have not yet found them.

Cities followed agriculture in all these regions. At first, they varied widely from one place to another. There were low-density cities like those of the Maya, and tightly packed hill towns; instant cities built at the command of an Assyrian, Chinese, or Roman emperor, and others that grew slowly out of collective efforts like the settlements of the Etruscans. Modern cities, with their convergent architectures of steel and concrete, fiber optics and tarmac, are much more similar to each other than were the many seeds from which they have grown.

Today about a quarter of the people of the world live in cities of more than one million people: that share is growing faster than the global population. Growth has not been smooth, but it is now irreversible. The landscapes and biodiversity needed for gathering and hunting are long gone, and could never sustain today’s global population. We cannot turn our backs on farming or on cities. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine a human future that is not more urban than ours, unless it’s a dystopian world founded on some species-wide catastrophe, like the one that destroyed the dinosaurs. Is such a colossal cull plausible? Even a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, global deaths add up to less than 0.4 percent of the world’s population. Could anything less than an asteroid strike or a super volcano explosion derail our urban journey now?

These doomsday scenarios aside, an increasingly urban future seems assured. But there is no need to be alarmed by it. One reason not to consign cities to the trash can of some of our species’ worst ideas is that we have turned out to be very well adapted to live in them. Human beings move easily in cities’ complex three-dimensional topography. We are adept at building social groups with strangers as well as kith and kin, we are tolerant of the new (and often nutritionally impoverished) diets that cities impose on their inhabitants, and we combine a sense of local territory (our homes, our neighborhoods) with a capacity for exploring and mapping new spaces that is far superior to that of our nearest animal relatives. We might have been born to live in cities.

We were not, of course, designed for city life. Evolution is the opposite of movement by design—it’s a lurching blindly into the future, through one happy accident after another (or at least, by following paths that are less disastrous than the alternatives). Our species has been around for some 300 million years, and we owe most of our city-friendly features to evolutionary processes that go back even further. For instance, our sociality, linked to the development of our frontal cortex, is pure primate. Our dietary flexibility probably developed in environments where it was never certain exactly which foods would be available. All this added up to an awesome potential for living in cities. We are not the only species with this potential. Mice, rats, bats, and house sparrows also do pretty well in concrete jungles. The difference is, we build cities. They have colonized them.

The evolutionary biologist Edward O. Wilson pointed out, in The Social Conquest of Earth , that other species too have taken advantage of the chance to live in dense communities. Some (but not all) bees and wasps, coral polyps and termites, and even naked mole rats have come to live what Wilson called eusocial lives, in which social cooperation becomes central. These species are not closely related—not to each other, and not to us—but they have one crucial thing in common. They all make something like a nest. Getting the most out of a social existence, argues Wilson, required cohabitation. Big brains need crowds.

Cities are our nests, so natural to the human animal that we find it difficult to imagine how we ever got on without them. How did we look after our big-brained but slow-developing children when we had no homes, nor enough neighbors or grandparents to care for the kids when we went foraging? How did our astonishing capacity to make tools and artifacts operate when we were so often on the move? If we wanted to develop technologies that were not all small, light, and easy to carry) we had to have a base. Camps and temporary homes must have done some service, and villages were good nests for a while, but only cities have made it possible for human societies to specialize, so everyone lived near a smith or a doctor or a priest, and we could make the most out of our talent for cooperation.

Cities are a new experiment, in evolutionary terms. Probably in the first thousand years or so there were many failures; archaeologists are beginning to map more clearly the urban civilizations that collapsed like so many houses of cards. But we got better at it. Most ancient cities were small just because it was so difficult to provision large ones in time of crisis. The first city builders often concentrated their energy on the house of gods and kings, and on defensive walls. Later generations turned their attention to water supply and drainage, and to constructing roads and canals, granaries and reservoirs. Fire and earthquakes ravaged many ancient cities until architects learned to build in stone and brick, to plan cities for safety, to build resilient structures.

Some of those cities turned out to be so resilient they are still with us today. Athens is maybe 3,500 years old; Rome and Istanbul, nearly 3,000 years old. Even medieval capitals such as Cairo and Tunis are close by ancient predecessors in Memphis and Carthage. Once we found good places to nest, we often stayed.

Modern cities are far more elaborate of course. Few ancient cities had more than 100,000 inhabitants. Today there are more than 30 cities of more than 10 million. We have learned to pack our nests more densely, piling our homes high. Even more important have been improvements in our cities’ nervous and circulatory systems (electricity, gas, the internet)—the channels by which food and water enter the nest, and waste is removed from it. The modern megacity depends on fast transportation that allows citizens to live far from where they work. These technologies are different from those employed in Tenochtitlan, Alexandria and Baghdad, but the principles are the same.

For the last few thousand years, our societies have mostly been ruled from cities, and our key infrastructures have been designed for urban populations—a state of affairs that holds great promise for humanity and the natural world. Done properly, city life is the most environmentally friendly way to live. Waste disposal, sanitation and recycling is easier to organize in cities than in the countryside. Our generation will see the end of private cars powered by fossil fuels. Already many city dwellers use public transport for most of their travel needs. Electric cars and buses are city friendly as well as environmentally friendly.

Romantics have been calling for us to go back to nature ever since the Industrial Revolution began. But the sums don’t add up. There is not enough “nature” out there to support us all. The kinds of lives we want now—high tech, highly connected, materially rich—work better in cities. And it is better for the planet that we don’t try and live this way in what wilderness is left.

We have not arrived at the city of the future yet, but it’s early days. Each generation our nests get better and better. Cities will continue to be better connected, greener and healthier, and that is all good news. So, city life: not one of our worst ideas, then, after all.

My City Essay – 10 Lines, Short And Long Essay For Kids

Key Points To Remember When Writing An Essay On ‘My City’ For Lower Primary Classes

10 lines on ‘my city’ for kids, a paragraph on ‘my city’ for children, short essay on ‘my city’ for kids, long essay on ‘my city’ for children, what will your child learn from this essay.

My city is a great topic to write on because there is so much one can add to an essay on this! Beyond the physical aspect of it, everyone shares an emotional connection with their city. The name of the city, the climate, where I live, and why I love my city are questions to be answered in an essay on “My City” for classes 1, 2, and 3. Sometimes you may change cities, which means switching to a different environment, but the city you would have spent more time in will hold a special place in your heart. By writing an essay on ‘my city’, kids will know what to explore and write about. In simple terms, let them have fun and let the words do the magic. Below is a guide on how to write an essay on “My City” for lower primary classes.

You should always start your essay on “My City” with an introduction and get into the location’s history. Gently walking readers through a new region is the goal of an essay. Given here are some key points to remember when writing an essay:

• List out the city’s name, landmarks, and how far it is away from the capital; if it is the capital city, write a different story.
• Talk about famous educational institutions, schools, and colleges in the city.
• What is the city famous for and why tourists should visit – a few lines on these have to be added.
• How the kids perceive their city, emotion, and local connections needs to be explored and expressed in simple sentences.

Living in any city comes with its perks and downsides. However, all kids love their city and share a special bond with it. A city is beautiful and has many sights to explore, including hidden gems. Here are 10 lines for an essay on “My City” for classes 1 & 2:

• My city is stunning, and I love its layout and vision.
• The people in my city are warm, kind, and friendly.
• I love making new friends in my city and look forward to attending school.
• My city is a home for my family; I live with my parents in the city.
• My city has good services such as food markets, shops, hospitals, and many civic amenities.
• I love to go for a morning walk in the many parks my city has.
• There is a lot to learn about my city and many things I do not know.
• I was two years old when my parents moved to Noida.
• I plan to live in my city with my grandparents and not go elsewhere until I grow up.
• I want to study and get a job in my city because of how comfortable my life is here.

A lot can be learnt by writing an essay on “My City”. It allows kids to see the city they live in with a new light and perspective:

A city can not only be defined based on geographical details, as it carries a significant part of one’s persona. There are so many cities in India, but there is nothing like my city. I live in the capital city of India, New Delhi, and my city is known for its dazzling and warm aura. People also call it mini India, as you will find a mixed population of all cultures and sensibilities here. Famous for monuments like Red Fort, India Gate, Qutub Minar, Jama Masjid, etc., my city has a story for everything. One can find an enriching collection of art, politics, knowledge, and IT here. If you ever visit my city, explore places like Cannought Place, Delhi Haat, Chandni Chowk, etc., to get the local flavour and ambience.

Writing an essay on “My City” can be an enlightening journey for kids as they will be able to share their clear and fresh vision of it. Here is a short essay on my city:

I love my city, Banglore, and I think it’s the best place in the world. It is the land where I grew up and currently live with my parents. I’ve made many fond memories and friends here. I’ve visited many exciting attractions and have gone on picnics hosted by my school. Bangalore has many wilderness projects, and animal lovers can visit the Venugopala Wildlife Park and Bandipur National Park in Mysore. Mysore is 150 km away from Banglore. Other exciting places to go sightseeing are the Bangalore Palace, Forum Mall, and ISKCON Temple. You can also check out the Wonderla Amusement Park, a famous tourist and entertainment attraction. The people here show tremendous hospitality, and my city is also a centre for education and wellness. Many schools, medical institutions, and colleges are found here. Banglore is considered the hub for engineering colleges and IT companies. Banglore is also known for its fast-paced urban lifestyle, but people take time to relax, chill and have fun times with family and friends.

Everybody falls in love with the city they stay in and love to spend time there. Here is how you write an essay for class 3 on “My City”:

Bangalore is my favourite place to live because I was born and raised there. MG road is my favourite area to visit because I can enjoy good food from restaurants like Mcdonald’s and Pizza Hut. It is the hub of recreational and commercial activities in the city. Blossom’s bookhouse in Church Street is my go-to spot because I can buy my favourite comic books and novels there. The buffets in my city are a great hit, and I love Onesta, which is famous for its unlimited pizza meals.

I go to Lal Bagh with my parents during summer vacation and relax there. It is in Jayanagar and a haven for nature lovers. The gates are big, and the scenery spreads across 240 acres of land, having more than 1854 varieties of plants. I love my city and plan to continue living there even after graduating. Finding a job in my city is not hard, and the education here is excellent. Many high school graduates get summer jobs, and I look forward to working on many small projects when I get free time. I can’t wait to explore the several opportunities found in my city. I feel fortunate to live in my town, and my friends feel the same way too.

History Of My City

City Life Essay

500+ words essay on city life.

City life is very busy, fast-moving and restless. All the necessary things are easily available in the city. Life is full of luxuries, and everything is within reach. The city has many things to offer, such as better job opportunities, higher living standards, medical facilities, clubs, shopping malls, stores, restaurants, etc. It has theatres, amusement parks, cricket stadiums etc., for entertainment. People from rural areas are shifting to the cities for a better quality of life. This essay on city life will throw light on the positive and negative aspects of city life. Students must go through it and try to write their own essays. For more practice, they can go through the list of different essay topics, which will help in improving their writing section.

Positive Aspects of City Life

Life in a big city is a whirl of activities. Very often, people from the countryside move to the cities in order to find decent jobs. It offers good educational facilities for children by providing the best schools, colleges and institutions. Cities have always been the hub of innovation, the home of creative thought, art forms, political ideas and many more things. People of the city do not waste their time as they keep doing something to gain growth and success in their life. Cities are well connected with road, railway and flight networks. So, it becomes easy for individuals to connect with other people and grow their businesses as compared to rural areas. Cities have become a potent force for addressing economic growth, development and prosperity.

Negative Aspects of City Life

Cities are very crowded places. The cost of living in the city is high. The houses are small and inadequate due to space limitations. Bad housing conditions can cause various health issues. The environment of the city is very polluted due to the air, water, land and noise pollution. This causes bad health and can infect people with various diseases.

Some of the cities are very dirty due to the lack of a proper disposal system. Also, drainage problems are often found in the city. People do not get fresh air to breathe and natural places where they can rejuvenate themselves. People in the city are often busy, so they do not socially interact with others. They limit themselves to their houses and families. Sometimes, they don’t even know about their neighbours and surroundings.

The impact of the city on a person’s life is both negative and positive. From the bad quality of air to noise pollution and restless life, it has affected peace of mind. But cities are also stimulating as centres of industry, art, science and political power. They are the focus of progress. By reducing the aggressive impact of the city on people, the essential positive aspects of city life can be greatly intensified.

Students must have found this city life essay useful for improving their essay writing skills. They can get the study material and the latest updates on CBSE/ICSE/State Board/Competitive Exams at BYJU’S.

The environment, transportation, communication, and people’s lifestyles will see transformational changes. There are some reasons to be optimistic about life in the future. Human lives will go through a lot of changes in the future. Whether it is better or worse depends on how we would handle the changes and how they can influence our lives.

Life is a balance of work, emotions, and relationships and we should keep that in mind while preparing us for the future.

Long Essay on Life In The Future

A Convenient Life

Along with the development of technology, people will have more means of transport like solar-powered and electrically operated cars which are much more environment-friendly. Traveling by driverless vehicles will become the new trend. Most of the analytical work will be performed by artificial intelligence and the workplace will be dominated by smart assistance to achieve quick results. Online platforms will be the means of interactions and education and everything will be virtually connected and internet-based. In the future, human habits will undergo significant change as more and more facilities will come up to ease our lives. Maybe students won’t move out to go to school. Online education will take the charge.

Houses would have all the high-end technological devices and robots will likely assist in manual work. Machines are getting more efficient and will replace humans in factories as well as in household work. Robots will also act as friends and companions with programmed features and with help of artificial intelligence. Trackless trains, driverless vehicles, and underwater transportation will be a common sight. Communication and accessibility will be at unimaginable speed. Food, entertainment, and news would be ready for our consumption at our will and choices.

The Crisis Awaited

There will be an increase in environmental pollution and climate-related hazards in the future. These hazards can appear in the form of increased drought and flooding and extreme weather. Trees will perhaps be preserved in the museum as it will be among the endangered species. With an increase in population, more deforestation will happen to accommodate people and it would leave little fresh air for breathing. People will be dependent on an oxygen mask for daily activities. The demand for the world’s energy resources will be severe and alternative resource utilization becomes mandatory. With more and more advancement, the materialistic approach will be dominant.

Relationships will be too formal and emotional space will be replaced by a mechanical approach. People will spend most of their time online and avoid talking to people face to face. People won’t need to do manual or household work because robots will be engaged to do all such activities. Whether it’s study, job, or entertainment, people will be glued o smart devices throughout the day which makes them much lazier and obese. In the absence of outdoor activities, maintaining physical fitness will be a challenge. People will be affected more by health problems and the pharmaceutical industry will be on the boom as people will be drug dependent.

Short Essay on Life In The Future

Introduction

Life is very unpredictable and uncertain. No one can say what is stored for the future. But we can predict life in the future from the present development and happenings. People plan a lot of things for the future as all like to see and live a generous life in the future. There is a lot of hope and aspiration of people involved when looking at their lives in the future.

High-end Technology 

Nothing can be said for certain but seeing the present technological advancements in the last few years we can surely think of a life with much more advancement in various technological aspects. Today the internet and highly mechanized gadgets have our life on a different level as compared to the lifestyles of people a few years back. Today even a small child can operate a mobile phone or a laptop and desktop. They are quite comfortable in operating various electronics gadgets with ease. So it could be easily understood that life in the future will be more advanced technologically. People can connect with their friends, relatives, and others easily with just a finger touch. So distance is not a matter. Our workload will decrease greatly due to the modern gadgets and maybe robots which will be available to ease our work.

The Adversities

While getting ahead technologically, people are losing their personal touch with one another. Today a large number of populations do not bother to feel for the elders or even neglect the children due to the race of life. So this has become a trend of having only a self-centered life. This trend will increase in the future so life will be more self-centered where feelings for others will take a back seat. So we can say clearly that along with lists of advancements in the future, a lot of negative aspects do move side by side. Technologically life in the future will be a great enhancement but a life without fellow feeling will be a part of it.

Similarly, a person will forget to do manual labor which is also required for a healthy life. Children will be more inclined towards the internet and less interested in reading books and outdoor activities. The new generation in the future will suffer from lots of health problems due to intense indoor activities and more inclination towards technologies. Hence life in the future will show us some positive and some negative shades of life and this is true for generations throughout.

FAQ’s on Life In The Future Essay

Question 1. What does the future of space travel look like?

Answer: Space visits would be commercialized by offering people the opportunity to visit other planets.

Question 2. How will lifestyles change in the future under the influence of technology?

Answer: There will be gadgets for every work and everything would be available online which limits physical activities, movements, and interactions resulting in physical and mental health issues.

Question 3. Why is protecting the natural environment essential for the existence of human life in the future?

Answer: Human life is dependent on the environment so extreme climate and pollution will affect their very existence. Therefore it is important to maintain a perfect balance between technical and natural environments.

Life of the future looks very different from what we are surrounded by these days. The progress in all spheres of life is moving really fast (Bardoel, 2012). In the years when our parents were born a simple cell phone would seem like some alien super technology. Five years may change the face of our digital world drastically. It goes without saying that in fifteen years our lives will no longer be what they are now.

A morning in fifteen years will still begin at home, an apartment of the future does not need to be too spacious as most of the furniture will be easy to transform, fold and hide. A kitchen can be easily turned into an office or a living room, or a bedroom (The Future of Work, 2013). The age of heavy furniture that constantly occupies half of the room is over. TV sets and music players are gone; they are fully replaced by the new computers. Showering, making a breakfast and washing the dishes can be quickly done just by pressing a couple of buttons. The future household appliances and devices are also multifunctional and easy to transform. In the life of the future everything is about time and speed- the faster you move, the more successful you are.

Travelling the way from home to the office is considered a huge waste of time. It only has to be done for three days a week for social purposes. Working process is exactly the same when an employee works from home, plus no time has to be spent for getting ready and putting on office clothes. There is a new type of dress-code for online office employees. A worker must wear their avatar for communication with the clients and co-workers (Maitland & Thompson, 2011).

Avatar is a special computer designed look made by a program, it helps making work more effective. Avatar program of an office worker is something like a personal advertisement campaign – socially oriented, worldly, pleasant, designed to attract larger number of clients and represent not only the worker wearing it, but also the company the employee is working for. Avatars help in creating a company image for the clients and other companies. A worker has to design their own avatar – the quality of avatar will be reflected directly on the productivity of this worker’s future success. Being able to design a profitable avatar is a necessary skill an office worker has to possess.

Going to the office is obligatory for social purposes – the co-workers must be able to socialize not only through the technologies. A day at the office is much less productive than a work day at home. A standard shift has three necessary breaks to make people go out to the park, have meals together, participate in recreational activities. The look of offices has changed too. Since future offices are all about communication and socializing – the cubicles are gone, replaced by joined tables to make people sit in groups (Waters-Lynch & Butcher, 2013).

Offices have lounge zones for the break periods, balconies, cafes, lawns, rooms for yoga exercises. Offices still have secretaries, but these jobs are no longer done by humans. Instead there are intelligent robots that work like answering machines capable of sorting the calls, receiving messages and directing them to the employees, answering frequently asked questions. Employees that are involved into making calls must be educated and skilled at communicating with these robot secretaries in order to achieve the best results.

Another crucial part of office management of the future is improvement leisure time and communication between the co-workers. While working from homes the employees are constantly connected by video conferences. This creates an impression of being around many people, but it does not replace real communication. There are committees involved into planning every office’s social program full of physical activities as office employees do not normally lead a very active lifestyle. As the life of future is all about multitasking – most employees become too involved into the work process which influences their health in a negative way and damages their quality of life (Skinner, 2013).

Social program committees are designed to distract employees from work and help them relax and switch to other activities. A typical workday in the office is full of various activities and it is shorter than eight hours. A work day at home is very productive, full of information, learning and keeps employees extremely busy on the mental level.

The city of the future is not as busy. Traffic problems are minor because in big cities personal vehicles are unnecessary; this is why public transport is working twenty four hours a day, very actively, so that the citizens do not have to wait in traffic lines. Cities are equipped with air improving devices as air pollution has been noticed to increase. The sizes of the cities grew – more people moving to the urban areas required more housing. The cultural faces of the big cities have developed more diversity and became more eclectic (Urban Development Plan 2025, n.d.).
