The Future City should use resources obtained from the natural environment efficiently and to subsequently reuse the remains as raw materials for the manufacturing process.
Many people are ill-informed about how to utilise resources efficiently. What do you think can be done to ensure a more efficient use of resources?
We can create a better waste management system.
It is important to raise social awareness in waste management.
The Future City should be self-sufficient in generating clean, renewable, reliable and affordable energy.
A city that relies on 100% renewable energy is just a far-fetched dream, not a reality.
Use renewable source of energy generation such as solar panels, etc.
We should provide incentives for the use of renewable energy.
The Future City should have access to clean air and water.
Complete access to clean air and water is impossible in this day and age due to emissions arising from urban development.
People should observe mindful consumption of water.
We should implement the greywater recycle and reuse system.
Every individual of the Future City should coexist with, as well as conserve and preserve the existing biodiversity.
Our current lifestyle is imposing threats and causing damage to the environment and other living organisms. These issues are not being addressed at the rate at which the damages are caused.
Habitat restoration.
A Future City should facilitate a sustainable yet comfortable lifestyle without compromising our psychological and physical wellbeing of the people.
There is an increasing demand for homeownership, which in turn, has drastically driven up the cost of owning homes. While physical comfort is often associated with owning a personal living space, we must consider the psychological stress that could be triggered by financial debt from homeownership.
We should utilise innovative technologies and cost-effective construction methods.
I think we can pay weekly rent instead of hefty mortgage loans.
A Future City should be conducive to social bonding and interaction that can lead to meaningful relationships.
How many of us have socialised with our neighbours? Have you involved yourself in community events in your neighbourhood? The truth is, in this fast-moving world, we are simply too busy and lack opportunities for interaction.
How about shared living spaces such as living room & communal kitchens.
The Future City should provide every individual with access to basic amenities such as food, and a quality transportation system.
What do you think can be done to achieve a quality transportation system?
Building walkable communities which have amenities within walking distance.
Green vehicles such as electric cars, alternative fuel vehicles.
The Future City should have a healthy economy that enables us to generate profit to make society and the environment more sustainable.
The current economic and political systems are not encouraging environmental conservation.
Reduce energy expenses.
Maybe financial aid can be provided to fund sustainable initiatives.
The Future City should have a standardised performance evaluation system to evaluate the finance and sustainability functions of an organisation.
Organisations prioritise the finance function over sustainability due to the likelihood of experiencing a loss and uncertainty of a profit, which are usually experienced only in the long term.
Require governmental laws to aid the process.
